When the gated sluices are provided through the body of the dam spillway then the ogee spillway structure shall normally be of Corbel type. Correct Answer False

The extra concrete is required for thickening of the section at the d/s end which can be saved by shifting the curve of the nappe in a backward direction until it becomes tangential to the d/s face. It can be affected by providing a corbel on u/s face.
