9.4 Transition in Field Example

Problem:

Malaprabha Project transition at entry to tunnel and exit from tunnel

Tunnel: Approach cut 1280.16 m long

Slope (bed) 1:2700, y= 5.4864 m

Side slope 1:1

b = 6.096 m, velocity = 1.794 ms-1

Horse shoe shape Tunnel length 4620.77 m

Bed Slope 1: 1230

Tunnel

Diameter 6.0198 m

Velocity 2.384 m/s

Exit b = 6.096 m

Depth = 4.2672 m

Velocity = 1.453 m/s
