Engineering a Model Dam
The aim of this lab is to engineer a model dam that effectively manages water flow and prevents downstream flooding. Dams play a critical role in controlling water resources and preventing disasters. Through this project , we explored hydraulic engineering, structural design, and the importance of disaster prevention in civil engineering. Materials and Methods: The construction of the model dam involves the following materials and methods: 1. Research and Background: Begin by researching the principles of dam construction , understanding how dams are designed to control water flow, and their various components such as spillways and reservoirs. 2. Design Phase: Based on your research, brainstorm different design concepts for the model dam, considering factors like the dam's height, width, spillway location, and reservoir size. 3. Material Selection: Selected your materials for the construction of your model dam based on your design. One possibility is using clay a
