Abstract: Stepped waste-waterways (also called "byewash') were commonly used to assist with energy dissipation of the flow during the 19th century and early 20th century (CHANSON 1995a) Nowadays stepped spillways are often associated with roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams The stepped geometry is appropriate to the RCC placement techniques and enhances the rate of energy dissipation compared to a smooth chute design (CHANSON 1994)
