An overflow spillway with its upstream face vertical is to be design for a flood
of 7200 cumec. Height of spillway crest above river bed is 52 m. The end walls
of spillway are 75 m apart and there are 5 piers, each 2 m wide. Determine
total head over the crest of spillway. Take C = 2.2, Ka = 0.10 and Kp = 0.01.
Also draw spillway profile.
