The Roznow Dam is one of a series of dams built by the Polish
government on the Vistula River and its affluentsa It is followed
13 km downstream, by the Czohow Dam which forms a tailwater ponm
dage below the Roznow Dams The function of these dams is to
control floods and navigation on the upper Vistula River, electric
power production being only a secondary aims
The construction of a third darn (rockmfi11) and a reservoir was
recently started (1952) in the upper reaches of the Dunajec River,

Roznow
The Roznow Dam forms the main storage reservoir on the Dunajec
River.
The Roznow Dam has three functions
(:.) Control of floods.
(2) Control of navigation.
(3) Power production.
1e Control of flood
For the control of floods9 the Roznow Reservoir has an abundant storage
capacity (230,0009000 eu m at high water) which assures the protection
of an area of about 200,000 ha of arable land from devastating floods,
such as the 1931 flood.
2, Cowl of n~vigatioa~
The control of navigation is obtained by coordinated operation of the
Roznow and Czchow Reservoirs.
The peak load Roznow Power Plant works on the average, 6 to hours
a day utilizing its daily pondage.
During the remaining hours it stores water without any spillway dis-
chargee This irregularity of discharge is eliminated by the Czchow
Reservoir operating 24 hours a daye
Thus the flow in the Dunajec and Vistula rivers is regulated from
season to season by the Roznow Dam and within every 24 hours by the
Czchow Demo
An improvement of navigation on the Vistula River by lowering the
river level at high water and raising it 25 cm in time of drought
or low water is thereby achievedo

The central and upper strata of the Tatra Mountains consist of Jura
limestone, which, in its higher layers is superimposed with eryst
al
line rock, mostly granite, North of the town of Nowy Sac? the
Dunajec River breaks in a deep cut through.a very wide zone of f1
ysch,
This consists of a thick and extensive deposit of
mostly sandstone,
belonging to the early Tertiary System and in part to the Cretaceous
and Permian Systems, The Roznow Dam is in this flysch zoned

Between the layers of sandstone are layera of clay slate from
0.05 m to 0,20 m thick.
Faulty strata are frequently encountered. Sound rock is found at
the elevation 22$000 in or about 12 m under the river bed.
The various layers of the bottom rock form an angle of 20 to 25 de
grees with the axis of the dam (Fig. 5). Thus different seotions
of the dam stand on different layers of rocks This created diffi~
culties in the laying of foundations. Bores, 50 m deep and 65 mm
in diameter were drilled on the upstream side of the darn, 3 m apart,
to build a grouting curtain. (Fig. 5). Another row of 35~m deep
bores was made under the foundations 205.-m apart from the first row.
A third series of 20-m deep bores was made additionally in 1941
from the lower inspection gallery, also spaced at 3 m, and injected
with grout under 25g. atm pressure. The ratio of the grout mixture
was from is l to la 5 as the absorption of the porous rock was very
high. An average of 650 kg of grout per unit meter was used.
In order to eliminate uneven setting of the dam blocks, a 3~m thick
foundation base of reinforced concrete was laid.
Under the powerhouse, where the subsoil was found to be of the
poorest quality, grouting wells 7 in deep and 1.50 in to 2 m in diameter
were filled with cement and reinforced with rails in order to in~
crease resistance against sliding (Figs. 10 and ii). A total of
10,000 m of wells were filled with 7,000 tons of cement. In 1940,
an additional grouting curtain was made along the mountain ridge
(Fig. 2), with a total length of $00 m, in order to prevent seepage
through the ridge into the valley.

The dam was originally planned as a buttress type, but the soil
conditions made it necessary to build a gravity dam, with the
exception of the central party This part consists of four
sections, each 17 m wide, built as a buttress dam with
5.-m thick slabs on the upstream facing0 The powerhouse stands
in this central part (Fig0 4) 0 This is considered to be a
weak point in the structure, since the subsoil conditions in
this section of the river bed are the poorest0

The compressive strength for concrete samples was found to be
250 kg/sq cm after 28 days, and 330 kg/8q cm after 1$0 days.
The dam volume is some 3$5,000 sq m of concreted Reinforcement
for the concrete is made of steel rods 36 mm in diameter, aux1l
iary rods 20 mm and 24 mm, and tying rods 14 mm in diameter.
The quantity of reinforcement used was in average 4 kg per cu m of
concrete and 160 t per block. The total weight of steel structures
and reinforcements in the powerhouse and spillways is about 29300 tons.
C, Des4gn criteria
The distribution of stresses in the dam was calculated according to
the French method of Pigeaud.
Stresses in the lowest joint of the foundation, for the elevation of
22$.00 in (the highest water level is 270.00 m) were found to be as

The compressive stresses do not exceed 35 kgo
By comparing normal stresses for the elevation 238,70 m on the
upstream side with the possible maximum uplift of 3,i3 kg/sq cm
(for the difference of water levels 270,00 m and 23$x70 m)9 a ratio
of compressive stresses to the uplift was obtained as l~2 (Q- 0,5),
For the elevation 22$,00 in this ratio is more favorable9 namely
is 1,57 (' 0,636). To improve these conditions a grout curtain
was made (see Section V),
The stability factor was calculated at l,8. The highest soil pressure
in the normal and spillway sections of the dam is 94 kg/sq cm and
in the powerhouse section 10,15 kg/sq cm,
The horizontal friction coefficient at the bottoms taking the uplift
into account, is 0,54 and 0,42 respectively,

In addition to the tainter gates, there are stoplogs made
of steel channel bare each $0 x 80 x $ mm.
b) Underneath the main spillways there are five auxiliary die
charge sluices (Figs. 6, 17, 1$ and 19). Their axis is at
an elevation of 242, m or 21 in below the threshold of
the spillways, The sluices are funnel shaped and have a
6.-m inlet diameter which is reduced to 3.5 in along a length
of 2.2 m, The sluices are made of 12 nn thick steel plates,
welded, and imbedded in the foundation of the dam.
Each sluice is closed by rolling gates 2.7 in by 3.7 in,
operated by a servomotor with oil under 25 atm pressure.
The gates can be also operated by hand. The servomotors
and other operating mechanisms of the discharge sluices
are located in the middle inspection gallery.
When all main spillways are open, 39200 cu m/sec can be
discharged.

See Fig. 20.
The intake conduits to the powerhouse are made of steel plate,
12 mm thick, welded and reinforced with steel rings. They
are 5.5 m long, have 3.$ in in diameter and are imbedded in the
dam. They are equipped with 2.55 in x 6-.in double rolling gates,
both of which are operated by a servomotor with oil under a
25 atm pressure.
The gates close by their own weigh.

A f ishway is built in the darn, consisting of 78 chambers,
each 6 in long, 3.5 in wide and 0.4 m deep. This fishway is
located at the right end of the dam. It was built on the
basis of experience in Scotlando
6. Di,_age o
See Fig. 5
The drainage in the dam occurs through vertical drainage
holes spaced at 2 m and 2 0 50 in from the upstream face.
The drains discharge into the inspection galieries and
lead to a pumping shaft which also serves for the drainage
o the suction tubes of the turbineso
Perforated cement drain tubes, 30 cm in diameter are used.
7. ,Expansion i.oints
Two copper sheets, 2 mm thick are cemented between the
separate concrete sections (blocks) of the dam, 1 in from

The construction of the dam and of the powerhouse was started
by the Polish Government in June 1935. The conetruction plans
were revised by two Swiss experts in hydroelectric struotures.
The Polytechnical Institute of Warsaw cooperated in perform
ing laboratory tests and experiments.
The construction was done by two French enterprises, the
Societe des Grands Travaux de Mwseille (Society of Great Works
of Marseille) and la Regie Generale des Chemins de Per et
Travaux Publics (The General Administration of Railroads and
railroad a? The point of connection is at the Macinkowice
Railroad Station.

"Zapory i Roboty Hydrauliozne" (Dams and Hydraulic Works).
During the German occupation from October 1939, the come

authorities in Cracow, specifically the 'WaterEconomy
Division'

Work began in June,. 1935. A 30a1cv, 50-.4am line from Moscice
(near Tarnow) was built to supply electric energy needed for
the construction work. A l9 4 n long, narrow gauge (750 mm)
railroad track was built to connect Roznow with the State
