    2) Function:

    • Jamb– jamb is provided at the recess to receive the frames of doors and frames of Windows
    • Corbel– corbel is provided to give support to joist, truss and weather shed.
    • Jamb has two types:
    1. Plane jamb
    2. Splayed jamb

    Gravity dam, as the name suggests, is a dam that resists the water upstream by the use of its weight itself, unlike earthen dams and embankment dams that employ the shear strength of the soil.

    The dam is designed so that the resultant of the water pressure, earth pressure, and all other forces are aligned and balanced by the weight of the dam itself.

    They are generally made of Roller compacted concrete.

    Arch Dam ; Arch dam can be defined as a solid wall, curved in plan, standing across the entire width of the river valley in a single span.

    Arch Dam ;

    Arch dam can be defined as a solid wall, curved in plan, standing across the entire width of the river valley in a single span. The body of arch dam is generally made of cement concrete. Thus, arch dam is just a curved beam, the ends of which are restrained and the way in which the loads are resisted is termed a arch action.

     

    Buttress Dam ;

    A buttress dam or hollow dam with a solid, water-tight upstream side that is supported at intervals on the downstream side by a series of buttresses or supports. A buttress dam envisages to reduce the total volume of concrete by constricting the material where the stresses are higher and other undesirable features of gravity dam but has higher cement content per cubic metre of concrete than a gravity dam.

    If we talk about malleability and ductility both are connected or related. A malleable material is one in which a thin sheet can be easily formed by hammering or rolling. In other words, the material has the ability to deform under compressive stress. And here ductility is the ability of the solid material to deform under tensile stress. Practically, a ductile material is a material that can easily be stretched into a wire when pulled.
