Abstract

Rubber dam is a relatively new type of hydraulic structure compared with steel sluice gate, weir, causeways, etc. which is made of high strength fabric adhering with rubber forming a rubber bag. The barrage, made of rubber, will be filled with air, so that it can be inflated or deflated as per requirement. The concept of rubber dam and its application in India has yet to develop to gain from its advantages, though the system has been used in great extent in countries like China, Australia and in Scandinavia. It is used in site specific cases where it may prove to be a very good alternative to costlier permanent structures. A rubber dam has many advantages, such as simple hydraulic structure, short construction time, perfect seismic performance, and low resistance to water flow in flood season etc. General description of system, various configuration and types, working principle and comparative analysis has been presented in this paper.
