SCOUR DEPTH CALCULATIONS

Up stream side:

Canal Discharge = 0.664 Cumecs


Bed width = 3m
Discharge per unit width 'q' = 0.664 / 3
= 0.221 Cumecs/met
As per Clause 8.5.2 of I.S. 7784 (Part-I) 1993
Assuming silt factor 'f' = 1
Normal scour depth = R = 1.35 x (q2 / f)1/3 = 1.35 x (0.221² / 1)^(1/3)
R = 0.493 m

Maximum scour depth on U / S side = 1.5 x R


= 1.5 x 0.493
= 0.74 m

F S L on U/S side = 89.934

Up stream cut off level = 89.934 - 0.74


= 89.194
There fore provide U / S cut off level = 84.460

Down stream side:

Canal Discharge = 0.664 Cumecs


Bed width = 3m
Discharge per unit width 'q' = 0.664 / 3
= 0.221 Cumecs/met
As per Clause 8.5.2 of I.S. 7784 (Part-I) 1993
Assuming silt factor 'f' = 1
Normal scour depth = R = 1.35 x (q2 / f)1/3 = 1.35 x (0.221² / 1)^(1/3)
R = 0.493 m

Maximum scour depth on D / S = 2.0 x R


= 2 x 0.493
= 0.986 m

F S L on D/S of canal = 89.934

Down stream cut off level = 89.934 - 0.986


= 88.948
There fore provide D / S cut off level = 84.214
