what is the difference between weir and a barrage

Answer Posted / manoj

Weirs are typically the uncontrolled structures to raise
the water level behind it. for higher discharges water
flows over the weir.they can be about 6 to 8 m high.
Barrages are the controlled structures through gates. the
pondage area behind barrage is due to the gates and the
breast wall, if provided.The barrages are designed for
higher design flood than the weirs. barrages are now more
useful in hydro power sector.

In foundation design, while we do the base pressure check, we normally check if the attained pressure value is less than the GROSS BEARING CAPACITY of the soil which is the sum of net bearing capacity of soil and the overburden pressure. Actually, the overburden pressure acts against the net bearing capacity of the soil and I feel that we are actually increasing the bearing capacity value and doing the check. I feel that this is NOT right. Please clarify on this.
