An Arch Dam Model is a scaled-down representation of an arch dam, which is a type of dam that relies on the strength of its curved structure to direct water pressure into the canyon walls. This model typically includes the dam body, spillways, and water reservoir, and is designed to demonstrate how the dam transfers the forces of water through its arch design. It helps in understanding the distribution of stress and pressure, as well as the principles of fluid mechanics and structural engineering. The Arch Dam Model is commonly used in civil engineering education and research to study the behavior of dams under different load conditions.

A Rock Fill Dam Model is a scaled-down representation of a rock-fill (or riprap) dam, which is constructed using rocks and coarse materials stacked to form a barrier for water storage. The model typically includes a dam structure, a water reservoir, and a spillway to simulate the flow of water. It helps demonstrate how the dam’s rock materials distribute pressure, resist erosion, and withstand the forces of water. This model is commonly used in civil engineering education to study the stability, permeability, and hydrodynamics of rock-fill dams in real-world applications.
