Reinforced concrete is commonly used at dams to construct spillways (control section, training walls, chute slab, piers for gated structures, etc.), stilling and impact basins, parapets, intake towers, outlet structures, and various other appurtenances. These structures can be subjected to significant loads and deterioration over time. Reinforced concrete structures must be designed for safe operation throughout the life of the dam.
