archDam
|
1
A thin, curved (for example concrete or masonry) dam structure which is built to curve
upstream so that the force of the water against it squeezes the arch, compressing
and strengthening the structure and pushing it into the ground.
An arch dam is a good dam type for a narrow gorge in a mountainous area with steep
walls of rock. An arch dam generally has steel rods or prestressed steel cables reinforcements
and therefore requires less concrete than does a gravity dam or arch-gravity dam.
However, the bedrock in the foundation and abutments must be sound to withstand the
pressure of the water.
|
asphaltConcreteCoreDam
|
2
An Embankment dam which is built with asphalt concrete core. The majority of such
dams are built with rock and/or gravel as the main fill material.
Almost 100 dams of this design have now been built worldwide since the first such
dam was completed in 1962. The type of asphalt used is a viscoelastic-plastic material
that can adjust to the movements and deformations imposed on the embankment as a whole,
and to settlements in the foundation. The flexible properties of the asphalt make
such dams especially suited in earthquake regions.
|
beaverDam
|
3
Beavers create dams primarily out of mud and sticks to flood a particular habitable
area.
By flooding a parcel of land, beavers can navigate below or near the surface and remain
relatively well hidden or protected from predators. The flooded region also allows
beavers access to food, especially during the winter.
|
buttressDam
|
12
A water-tight dam supported at intervals on the downstream side by a series of buttresses
or supports.
The dam wall may be flat or curved.
|
cofferDam
|
4
A (usually temporary) barrier constructed to exclude water from an area that is normally
submerged. Made commonly of wood, concrete or steel sheet piling, cofferdams are used
to allow construction on the foundation of permanent dams, bridges, and similar structures.
When the project is completed, the cofferdam may be demolished or removed.
See also causeway and retaining wall. Common uses for cofferdams include construction
and repair of off shore oil platforms. In such cases the cofferdam is fabricated from
sheet steel and welded into place under water. Air is pumped into the space, displacing
the water allowing a dry work environment below the surface. Upon completion the cofferdam
is usually deconstructed unless the area requires continuous maintenance.
|
earthFillDam
|
6
Dams, which are constructed as a simple embankment of well compacted earth. A homogeneous
rolled-earth dam is entirely constructed of one type of material but may contain a
drain layer to collect seep water. A zoned-earth dam has distinct parts or zones.
An outdated method of zoned earth dam construction utilized a hydraulic fill to produce
a watertight core. Rolled-earth dams may also employ a watertight facing or core in
the manner of a rock-fill dam.
|
embankmentDam
|
7
A massive artificial water barrier. It is typically created by the emplacement and
compaction of a complex semi-plastic mound of various compositions of soil, sand,
clay and/or rock. It has a semi-permanent waterproof natural covering for its surface,
and a dense, waterproof core. Such a dam is composed of fragmented independent material
particles. The friction and interaction of particles binds the particles together
into a stable mass rather than the use of a cementing substance.
The force of the impoundment creates a downward thrust upon the mass of the dam, greatly
increasing the weight of the dam on its foundation.
|
gravityDam
|
8
In a gravity dam, stability is secured by making it of such a size and shape that
it will resist overturning, sliding and crushing at the toe. The dam will not overturn
provided that the moment around the turning point, caused by the water pressure is
smaller than the moment caused by the weight of the dam. This is the case if the resultant
force of water pressure and weight falls within the base of the dam.
However, in order to prevent tensile stress at the upstream face and excessive compressive
stress at the downstream face, the dam cross section is usually designed so that the
resultant falls within the middle at all elevations of the cross section (the core).
For this type of dam, impervious foundations with high bearing strength are essential.
|
multiArchDam
|
13
A dam constructed with more than one contiguous arch or plane.
|
rockFillDam
|
9
An embankment of compacted free-draining granular earth with an impervious zone. The
earth utilized often contains a large percentage of large particles hence the term
rock-fill. The impervious zone may be on the upstream face and made of masonry, concrete,
plastic membrane, steel sheet piles, timber or other material. The impervious zone
may also be within the embankment in which case it is referred to as a core.
In the instances where clay is utilized as the impervious material the dam is referred
to as a composite dam.
|
steelDam
|
10
A type of dam briefly experimented with in around the turn of the 19th-20th Century
which uses steel plating (at an angle) and load bearing beams as the structure.
Intended as permanent structures, steel dams were an (arguably failed) experiment
to determine if a construction technique could be devised that was cheaper than masonry,
concrete or earthworks, but sturdier than timber crib dams.
|
timberCribDam
|
11
Erected of heavy timbers or dressed logs in the manner of a log house and the interior
filled with earth or rubble.
Timber dams were widely used in the early part of the industrial revolution and in
frontier areas due to ease and speed of construction. Rarely built in modern times
by humans because of relatively short lifespan and limited height to which they can
be built, timber dams must be kept constantly wet in order to maintain their water
retention properties and limit deterioration by rot, similar to a barrel. The locations
where timber dams are most economical to build are those where timber is plentiful,
cement is costly or difficult to transport, and either a low head diversion dam is
required or longevity is not an issue. Timber dams were once numerous, especially
in the North American west, but most have failed, been hidden under earth embankments
or been replaced with entirely new structures. Two common variations of timber dams
were the crib and the plank.

navigation
|
2
A large dam that ensures that a waterway is navigable by ensuring sufficient upriver
channel depth and that is bypassed by one or more locks.
Typically more than 15 metres tall, navigation dams normally permit water flow by
means of spillways or gates with roller and tainter gates being the most commonly
installed. Most navigation pools in the United States are maintained at a constant
minimum water depth of 3 metres (9 feet). The installation of navigation dams permit
river vessels to use a series of locks to 'step' up or down a river from one water
level to another.
|
floodControl
|
3
A dam whose reservoir is regulated to accomplish flood control.
It may also provide a source of water for irrigation and/or hydroelectric power. For
example, the Grand Coulee Dam.
|
hydroPowerGeneration
|
4
A dam which is intended to produce electrical power from the potential energy of dammed
water driving a water turbine and generator.
To boost the power generation capabilities of a dam, the water may be run through
a large pipe called a penstock before the turbine. A variant on this simple model
uses pumped storage hydroelectricity to produce electricity to match periods of high
and low water.
|
weir
|
5
A small overflow-type dam commonly used to raise the upstream water level of a river
or stream.
Typically less than 15 metres tall, water flows over the top of a weir although some
weirs have sluice gates which release water at a level below the top of the weir.
The crest of an overflow spillway on a large dam is often called a weir. Weirs have
traditionally been used to create mill ponds or to provide adequate water supply to
maintain levels in an adjacent canal. Weirs may be associated with locks to permit
the passage of boats around the weir.

The dimension of a feature taken perpendicular to its primary alignment of use and

|
Description:
|
The primary alignment of a feature is its established direction of flow or use (for
example: a road, a power line right-of-way, a river, rapid, and/or a bridge). A feature-specific
rule may apply. In the case of a bridge, the width is the distance perpendicular to
the bridge centre-line and generally in the horizontal plane. In the case of a dam,
the width is the distance perpendicular to (across the) the dam crest. If no such
direction of flow or use exists then (1) if the feature is irregular in shape its
width is taken perpendicular to the direction of its greatest horizontal dimension
(see Attribute: 'Greatest Horizontal Extent'), else (2) if the feature is regular
in shape then a shape-specific rule may apply: for a rectangular feature, the length
of the shorter axis; for a round feature, the diameter.

Title:

ZVH.value-singleValue
|
Definition:
|
The elevation from a specified vertical datum to the highest point on a feature.
|
Description:
|
In the case of multiple features that may be stacked on each other (for example: a
railway on a bridge, a superstructure on a building, or an aerial on a tower) the
highest elevation is that of the entire feature stack. For example, the highest elevation
of a church is that of its steeple and not that of the roof of the church itself.
The church itself may have a height above surface level that excludes the additional
height of the steeple superstructure located on the church roof.

A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally
have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there
is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single
language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should
be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for
example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source
of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map,
regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in
Spanish.
