This project demonstrates the components of Tehri
dam, an earthen dam located in Uttarakhand, India.
Due to less crest width, the model was constructed
using distorted scale. The model stood on a wooden
base and its components were made up of black
cotton soil, red soil and aggregates of various sizes.
A glass panel was placed to show the cross-section in
an elegant manner. Surrounding terrains were made
up of thermocol, whereas water colors depicted the
upstream and downstream portions. Different parts
were labelled and the model was painted to provide
an aesthetic view. An arch dam is a solid dam made up of concrete
that is upstream in plan. It is constructed for power
generation and irrigation purposes. Enguri dam is
the second highest concrete arch dam in the world
with a height of 271.5m. Its crest length is 728m,
crest thickness is 10m and radius of arch is 312m.
Distorted scale was used in this project. The model
was made using plywood, foams and PVC pipes.
The proper shape of the arch dam was obtained by
plotting the graph from various known data.
