Researchers have verified that concrete steps overlaid on an embankment dam can provide protection against overtopping for a wide range of dam heights and overtopping flows. US Bureau of Reclamation studies have led to development of design criteria that address the step shape and thickness, training wall heights, and toe treatment required. A 4-year research study on concrete step overlay is summarized in the article. Information provided from the study includes test setup, establishment of design criteria, and an application of the design guidelines produced by the test, including cost estimation.
