Which of the following dam requires no reinforcement?

Which of the following dam requires no reinforcement? Correct Answer Massive head buttress dam

Massive head buttress dam does not use slabs or arches for the upstream face. The head of the buttresses are enlarged to meet each other to form a continuous water supporting surface. The bending, as well as diagonal tension in the upstream part of the dam, is absent, so the deck is not reinforced.

Which of the following statements are true with regard to energy dissipation below a dam? (i) If the upper conjugate depth of a hydraulic jump is below the tailwater, little energy will be dissipated (ii) An upturned bucket will protect the dam from scour by moving material toward the dam. (iii) A secondary dam may increase tailwater height, thereby causing a hydraulic jump to form at the toe of the main dam. (v) A slopping apron above streambed level may be used to control the hydraulic jump so that it occurs on the apron.
