(1) FIXATION OF CREST LEVEL AND WATERWAY :

Generally the crest level of the distributory head regulator is kept .15 M TO .5 M higher than its U/S floor level.

Adopt crest level of the regulator = 165.000 + 0.150

= 165.150

Regulators are generally provided with a very wide and shallow water way. The drowned
weir formula is therefore,used for calculating the discharge.The system must be designed in
such a way that it should mitigate all type of head losses occurred during its regulation.

Q = 2/3 C1 L 2g X [(H+ha)3/2 - ha3/2)] + C2 L d 2g(H+ha) --------(1)

Where C1 = 0.577 C2 = 0.800
L = Clear length of waterway
H = Difference of U/S and D/S water level
170.000 - 170.000
0.0000
ha = hi - hL (Effective Approach velocity head )

d = D/S FSL - Crest Level

170.000 - 165.150
4.850

Assuming the effective clear water way under barrels is 108% average width of D/S canal
Effective water way = 24.40 m (% is taken to equalize water way provided)
Vb = 1.07 m/s

hi = head due to inlet velocity at U/S

= Vi2/2*g
= 0.068 m

he = head due to exit velocity at D/S

= Ve2/2*g
= 0.068 m

hb = head due to flow in gate bays

= Vb2/2*g
= 0.058 m

Head losses due to 3-D warped inlet & outlet transitions as per cl. 4.1 IS:7114-1973
HL = -0.020 m

Hence net Effective head to be considered as velocity of approach

ha = 0.089 m

Substituting the above values in equation (1),

 40.000 = 0.00000 L + 5.119 L

L = 7.815
Waterway shall be worked out with the following formula
Q = C.BeHe3/2
Where,
hd = 170.000 - 170.000 = 0.000 m
He = 170.089 - 165.150 = 4.939 m
hd + ha
= 0.01796
He
From fig. 6.5,Varshney vol-II, The ratio of modified coefficient to free discharge works out to
Cs
= 0.195
C
Thus the coefficient of discharge = 1.820 X 0.195
= 0.356
(The value of 1.82 is for sharp crest free fall)
Substituting the values,
Be = 10.249 m
The effective width works out to very small.
So Minimum clear waterway = 60 % of distributary width

% Fluming = 4.800

Be = 10.249 m
Thus clear waterway required = 10.249 m

Provide 5.000 bays of 5.900 m each giving a clear waterway of 29.500 m

Hence O.K.
Bt = Be + 2 (N x Kp + Ka ) He

Bt = Net Length of Crest

N = Number of Piers = 4.000
Kp = Pier Contraction Coefficient for rounded nose = 0.010 (For pointed nose = 0)
 Ka = Abut. Contraction Coefficient = 0.200 (For round r >0.5Hd = 0)

Bt = 12.620 Which is less than 29.500 m Hence O.K.

Provide 4.000 piers of 1.000 m wide & over all crest width = 33.500 m
(2) LEVEL AND LENGTH OF DOWNSTREAM FLOOR

The discharge and length of waterway is given by,

Q= 40.000 Cumec, l = 29.500 m

40.000
Discharge intensity q = --------- = 1.356 cumec/m
29.500
Head loss = u.s. F.S.L. - d.s. F.S.L.
= 170.000 - 170.000
= 0.000 m
 for, q = 1.356 cumec/m and HL = 0.000 m
D/s specific energy Ef2 (from Blench curves) = 1.006 m
Cistern floor level required = D/s F.S.L. - Ef2
= 170.000 - 1.006
= 168.994 m

U/s specific energy , Ef1 = Ef2 + HL

= 1.006 + 0.000
= 1.006 m
from energy of flow curves
Prejump Depth D1 corresponding to Ef1 = 0.343 m
Postjump Depth D2 corresponding to Ef2 = 0.887 m
Length of cistern floor required = 5 (D2 - D1)
2.719 m
The downstream floor may be provided at R.L. 165.000 with a horizontal length
of 3.000 m. (from energy consideration)
(4) Depth of sheet piles from scour considerations :
U/S sheet pile :

As per IS 6531 : 1994, on the upstream side of the head regulator, cut-off should be provided
to the same depth as the cut-off stream of diversion work, if it exists or may be calculated as
below :-
Discharge intensity 'q' = 1.356 cumec/m
2 1/3
Depth of scour 'R' = 1.35{q /f} = 1.863 m
Anticipated scour = 1.25 R = 2.328 m

R.L. of the bottom of scour hole = 170.000 - 2.328

= 167.672 m
Minimum depth of d/s cutoff below bed level = yd + 0.500
3.000
(where yd is water depth im m at d/s ) = 2.167 m
R.L. of the bottom of scour hole = 162.833 m

Provide U/S cut off depth = 1m minimum

164.000
Bottom R.L. of cut off =
 = 162.83

D/S sheet pile :

Discharge intensity 'q' = 1.356 cumec/m

Depth of scour 'R' = 1.35{q2/f}1/3 = 1.863 m
Anticipated scour = 1.5 R = 2.794 m

R.L. of the bottom of scour hole = 170.000 - 2.794

= 167.206 m
Minimum depth of d/s cutoff below bed level = yd + 0.500
2.000
(where yd is water depth im m at d/s ) = 3.000 m
R.L. of the bottom of scour hole = 162.000 m
(by minimum depth consideration) (Min. 1 m below cistern bed) = 163.000 m
Provide sheet pile line down to elevation = 162.000

(5) Total floor length and exit gradient

The floor shall be subjected to the maximum static head when full supply is being maintained in the
upstream for running the parent channel and there is no flow through the distributary head.

Maximum static head = 170.000 - 165.000

= 5.000 m

Depth of d.s. cut off = 165.000 - 162.000

= 3.000 m

Since, H 1
GE = ---- ---------
d 
Hence,
1 GE.d
------------- = -------------- = 0.100
 H
 From Khosla's exit gradient curve a = 19.238
Hence requirement of total floor length b = a.d
= 57.715 m

Adopt total floor length = 58.000 m

Therefore,
length of d/s floor = 2/3 X total impervious length
= 38.667 m
The floor length shall be provided as below:-

Downstream horizontal floor = 25.000 m
