The stability analysis of Training Wall along the left side of the stilling basin just downstream of the rockfill dam has
been carried out as per IS 12720-1993 and IS 1893-1984.
Basic data:
1. Top of the Training Wall Level
2. Foundation level
3. Elevation where the stability is checked
3. Maximum Water level
4. Total Height of the Training Wall (h)
5. Top width
10. Design horizontal seismic coefficient (
h
)
8. Slope provided in the wall
11. Design vertical seismic coefficient (
v
)
12. Unit weight of concrete
0.75
13. Unit weight of water (w)
9. Base width of wall (B)
