Q = CM2/3
Where, Q = Discharge in cumecs.

II) Calculation for maximum flood discharge by Area- Velosity Method:Q=AV

Where, Q = Discharge in cumecs.
A = Area in Sq mt
V =Velosity in mt/sec
n = Co efficent of roughness= 0.033
R = Hydraulic Radian = A/P
A= C/s

III) To Find Length of check Dam

Discharge over weir when top width is < 1.00m.
Q =1.84 L H3/2
Where,Q = Discharge in cumecs.
L = Length of Check Dam in mtrs
H = Spillage over weir=

1.00 mts

1.84 x L x1

L=
20.1087
Say L=

As per site condition consider Length of weir L=

IV) Design of Weir Wall

Discharge over weir when top width is < 1.00m.
Q =1.84 L H3/2
Where,Q = Discharge in cumecs.
L = Length of Check Dam in mtrs=
H = Spillage over weir in mtrs
H =.

V)
Maximum Flood Discharge :Check Dam considered as a Submerged Type , Accordingly Maximum Discharge as
shown below
Q = 2/3 XCd1 X L X Squrt (2g) X (h1- h2) 3/2 + Cd2 X L X h2 X Sqrt (2g(h1-h2))
Where

h1 = Height of Water Upstream side above crest

0.97
h2 = Height of Water Downstream side above crest

L = Length of Weir
Cd1 = 0.577 (As per Civil Engineer HANDBOOK By Sri Vazarani Page NO 437)

V) Calculation of maximum Scour depth
Regime Scour Depth, Ds =
0.473 (Q/ Ksf) 1/3
Where, Q = Flood Discharge =

0.55

37.00 Cumecs.

Ksf = Lacys Silt factor = 1.00 ( for Medium sand as the type of Bed material, Pg No.197 of
EngineersHand book)
Therefore, Ds = 0.473 x [ 37.00 / 1.00 ] 1/3
Ds

1.56 Mt

Maximum Scour depth = 1.5 x Scour depth ( For Moderate Bend - Pg No.197 of Engineers Hand Book ).

So Provide 1.80 Mt Foundation below Nala Bed
Required Foundation Level =

96.87 Provide @ 1.8m below NBL i.e.
There Fore the required foundation levelis below than the Nala bed level, Hence OK.

q= 1.70 (H) 3/2

Then

Therefore, Ds = 1.35 x [q / f ] 1/3

Provide Length is More Than Creep Length
L2+L3= 18 *C* SQRT( (HL/13)*(Q/75))
Where L3
