In addition to the weir proper, head works consist of the following

components,
Undersluices.
Canal head regulator.

Divide wall or groyne.

Fish ladder.
Piers and abutments.
Protection works.
River training wall.

Page 3

These are gates controlled openings in the weir with crest at low
level. They are located on the same side as off-take canal. If two
canal take off on either side of the river, it would be necessary to
provide undersluices on either side.

Page 4

Functions of undersluices

To preserve a clear and defined river channel approaching the

canal regulator.
To scour silt deposited in front of canal regulator and control silt
entry in the canal.
To facilitate working of weir crest shutters or gates. The flood
can easily pass.

To lower the highest flood level.

Page 5

Discharge Capacity of undersluices is provided of the following:

i.Qu = 2 (Qmax.)offtake
ii.Qu = 20% (Qmax.)flood

Page 6

A canal head regulator is to serve the following functions:

Regulate the supply of water in the canal.

Control the entry of silt in the canal.

Page 7

The head regulator is normally aligned between 90 - 120 in respect

to the axis of the weir. The regulation done by means of gates, steel
gates of spans ranging between (8 m-12 m) are used and operated by
electric winches.
Height of gates = pond level - crest level
To check flood water entering the canal a
breast wall between pond level and high
flood level (H.F.L). Unless H.F.L - pond
level is nominal, breast wall is usually
more economical than high gates.

Page 8

If silt excluder is provided, it is necessary to further raise the crest of

head regulator by minimum of 0.75 m. To calculate the discharge, the
drowned weir formula can be used:
2
= 1 2 +
3

where:
C1=0.577, C2=0.8

H=difference of u.s and d.s water levels.

L=clear length of waterway.
d=depth of d.s water level above the crest.

ha=head due to velocity of approach.

Page 9

+ 2 2 +

 In case of the waterway (L) worked out more than width of the
canal, the crest level so adjusted as to keep (L) equal to the width of
the canal.
In exceptional cases waterway more than canal width may be
provided with a flared wall in the d.s of the regulator to join the
canal width.
Note that, the most critical condition of uplift occurs when high
flood level is passed down the weir and there is no flow in canal.

Page 10

It is a wall located between weir and undersluices extending a little

u.s of canal regulator, and d.s up to end of loose protection of the
undersluices. It is a concrete or masonry structure, with top width
(t)=(l.5-3)m, and aligned at right angle to the weir axis.

Page 11

The functions of divide walls are

To separate the floor of scouring sluices which is at lower

level than the weir proper.
To isolated the pockets u.s of the canal head regulator to
facilitate scouring operation.
To prevent formations of cross currents to a void their
damaging effects. Additional divide walls are sometimes
provided for this purpose.

Page 12

 The divide walls are costly structures.

These walls are likely to be subjected to maximum differential

pressure when the full discharge of the river is passing through the
weir, (there will be difference in water level on the two sides ).
Also there may exit difference in silt pressure on the two side . The
values of differential pressure are taken arbitrarily say 1.0 m for
water heads and about 2.0 m for silt pressure (see Fig. (5)).

Page 13

Fish ladder or fish passes are generally provided to

enable the fish to ascend the head waters of the river and
thus reach their spawning grounds for propagation or to
follow their migratory habits in search of food.

Page 14

The general requirements of a fish ladder are:

The slope of the fish ladder should not be steeper than 1:10 (i.e
velocity not exceeding 2 m/s in any portion of the fish-way).
The compartments of bays of the pass must be such dimensions that
the fish do not risk collision with the sides and upper end of each
bay when ascending.

Page 15

The general requirements of a fish ladder are (Continued)

Plenty of light should be admitted in the fish-way.

The water supply should be ample at all times.
The top and sides of a fish-way should be above ordinary high
water level.(see fig.(6)).

Page 16

In barrages piers are provided at an interval of 10 to 20 m. The piers

support bridge decking, and working platform for the operation of
gates. Cutwaters are usually simple in shape and the side face of piers
is often vertical. Tapering if done, does not exceed 1/50 to 1/40. Piers
should be provided with separate foundation (see Fig. (5)).

Page 17

 In case, however, when raft is provided the piers may be

constructed monolith with floor.
Abutments are usually gravity section and founded on well packed
closely in either direction. Perhaps in case of higher abutments a
better alternative is to provide a counter fort type structure on open
foundation.

Page 18

The sediment transporting capacity of water depends mainly on the

discharge, slope and grade of material. As a result of putting
obstruction across the river in form of weir, the river regime will be
affected in the following sequence:

Page 19

 A weir will pond up water leading to the flattening of water surface

slope for some distance on the up-stream side.
River would drop a part of its sediment load resulting in the
formation of shoals in the pond.
Clear water passes over the weir; this water scours the bed river to
make up deficiency in its silt load and causes a progressive
lowering or retrogression of downstream level.

Page 20

 The progressive silting a formation of shoals in the u.s increases the

resistance to flow of water to recover this resistance increase head is
required.
The overall effect of a weir is to take away the excess energy due to
steep gradient by localizing it and ultimately dissipating it.

Page 21

The causes of failures may classify into:

Failure due to seepage or subsurface flow.

Failure due to surface flow.

Page 22

Subsurface flow endangers the stability of a weir in the following

two ways:
Piping or floatation.
Uplift pressure.

The surface flow endangers the weir in the following two ways:
Unbalanced head due to standing wave (i.e. due to formation of
the jump very high unbalanced pressures are developed in the
trough).
Scour in the upstream and downstream.(this occurs in the bed of
alluvial rivers at flood).

Page 23

The design of weir and barrage like any hydraulic structure,

consist of many phases. The two main phases are
The hydraulic design (evaluation hydraulic forces acting on the
structure).
The structural design (dimensioning of the various part of the
structure to enable it to resist safely all the forces acting on it).

Page 24

The problem involved in the hydraulic design of weir and barrage on

permeable foundation may be treated under the following:
Sub soil flow, and
Surface flow.

Page 25

Page 26

a) Crest level of a barrage is fixed on the consolidation of existing

river bed level, at the proposed site.
b) The undersluices crest is usually kept as near the bed level in the
deepest channel as is practically possible.
The barrage bay crest is kept slightly higher and at about the general
bed level in the remaining portion of the river.
The undersluice crest is kept lower to attract a deep current in front
of the regulators, so that the dry weather current may remain near
the regulator.

Page 27

 Note that afflux and discharge per meter are related to crest levels.
So lower crest levels, result in lesser afflux, but higher discharge
per meter. Low set barrage with increase depth of water over crest
may result in an increased height of gates, thickness of floor, and
cost of superstructure above floor level.

Page 28

It's necessary to check that the maximum. Flood discharge passes

down the works without exceeding the afflux.
The following discharge formulas may be used for this purpose:
a) For broad crested weir:

= 1.705 0.1 3

b) For sharp crested weir:

= 1.84 0.1 3
where:
L= total clear waterway (m)

n= number of end contractions

H= the head over crest in (m)
Page 29

Afflux actually denotes loss of head and its magnitude is represented

by the difference in total energy level on upstream and the
downstream of the works. Afflux is generally limited to 1 meter, but
may be kept higher if permissible.
To adopt for waterway is given by the following formula representing
Lacey's wetted perimeter,
= 4.83
where:
P= Lacey's wetted perimeter, and
Q= Maximum flood discharge.

Page 30

In boulder reaches of the river it would be economical to reduce the

waterway to about (0.6 - 0.8) time Lacey's waterway. In plains where
the silt factor is in the neighborhood of unity it is generally
economical to keep the waterway (1.0 - 1.2) times the Lacey's
waterway. Generally the shorter waterway is preferable.

Determine head loss (HL) for different flow condition.

HL = afflux (if there is no retrogression)*
If allowance for retrogression is taken in d.s bed level then,
HL = afflux + retrogression, usually, 0.5 m retrogression will be
sufficient in most cases.

* Retrogression is lowering d.s bed caused by water scour

The intercept between the profile of hydraulic jump and the gradient

designed for the max. unbalance head in jump through.
