Computation of Design Coefficients in Ogee-crested Spillway Structure Using G…

Abstract: The ogee-crested spillway is a passage in a dam through which the design flood could be disposed of safely to the downstream. Spillways of improper design or insufficient capacities have caused failures of dams. Therefore, the spillway must be hydraulically and structurally adequate. This paper presents Gene-Expression Programming (GEP) models as an alternative approach to prediction…
