For proper development of agriculture and hydro power, we need to tap the river water and take it to fields/power house through irrigation canals/tunnels/ power channels. Diversion of water from rivers is achieved by construction of barrages and weirs across them. With increased emphasis on riculture and hydropower in our planning, these diversion structures are also becoming portant in terms of their use and money spent on them. A need has thus been felt to lay down the guidelines for hydraulic design of barrages and weirs in gravely and bouldery reaches. Foundations on which barrages and weirs have to be constructed may be permeable or impermeable. The criteria for hydraulic design will be different for different reaches. This part (part 2) has been formulated for gravely and bouldery reaches. Part 1 of the standard is formulated for alluvial reaches, For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shail be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised).' The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 4SCOPE This standard lays down guidelines for hydraulic design of barrages and weirs in gravelly and bouldery rivers. 2 REFERENCES 241 The Indian Standards listed below contain provisions which through reference in this text constitute provisions of this standard.

It may be expressed mathematically as GEC = (S—1) (1 — 1) where ‘S's the specific gravity of material and ‘ris its porosity 3.6.2 Safe Exit Gradient (GES) Critical exit gradient divided by factor of safety (see 19.5) gives the safe exit gradient. 3.6.3 Piping When the actual exit gradient (GE) exceeds the critical gradient (GEC), the river bed material at the exit end gets floated up and moves away due to buoyancy. This results in the formation of hollow pipe-like cavities under the barrage floor, leading to undermining of the structure. 3.7 Gravel River-borne rocky material of the size varying from 4.75 mm to 60 mm average diameter. The level of water, immediately upstream of the barrage/weir, required to facilitate withdrawal into the canal or for any other purpose. 39 Weir Barrier across a water course to raise the water level in the course with or without low shutters! gates. 4 DATA REQUIRED The following data are essential for hydraulic design of barrage or weir in gravelly and bouldery er8: a) An INDEX MAP showing catchment of the entire river valley upstream of the proposed site of work with position of important irrigation works and power projects, road and railway network and gauge and discharge observation sites on the river, if any. b) A contour plan of the area around the proposed site of the weir or barrage with contour intervals of not more than 0.8 m, up to an elevation of at least 2.5 m above the high flood level.

Besides these, cross-sections of the river at 200 m interval to a distance, up to which the back-water effect of ponding is likely to extend on the upstream of the site. If the topography indicates appreciable fall in the river slope, cross-sections may be taken at closer intervals depending on site conditions, during detailed design stago. d) Longitudinal section of the river with observed water levels along the deep channel for a distance from 1 km downstream of the site up to 3 km OR the distance up to which the backwater effect is likely to extend upstream of the site, whichever is more. €) Log charts of initial bore holes normally drilled 100 m apart along the axis of the weir or barrage and along divide walls and under abutments to a depth of 20 m or in accordance with design requirements below the deepest river bed level. For barrages on rivers with more than 3000 cumecs discharge, the spacing and depth of bore holes may be decided based on the site requirements. Such log charts of holes along the upstream and downstream cutoff lines may be taken to decide the bottom level of cutoff and drainage arrangements in case impermeable strata are met with. og shrines esr 1) Permeability test may be conducted tithe bore holes mentioned'ih") and f) for assessin: the volume of seepage flow below the structure as recommended in§16520(Part 1) and ‘eitenr) Sizes of the bed material should be carefully analysed and the grain size curve including even the largest size of stone) prepared. Where large size boulders exist, help of divers may be, taken for under-water measurement of boulder sizes and approximate gradation. This can be done only during the dry seasons, when the river water level is the lowest.

For designing the free board, a minimum of 500 year frequency flood or the ctandard project flood [see IS 5477(Part 4)| may be desirable. The design flood shoul be fixed as given below: S.No Classification Hydraulic Head i Design Fiood for Freeboard 1 ‘Small 7.5 mito 12m tooyears —-500._yeers/SPF, whichever is higher 2 Intermediate 12m to 30m SPF 4 in 1000 year flood 3 Large Greaterthan 90m = PMF PMF Note — SPF is standard project flood and PMF is probable maximum flood 6 STAGE DISCHARGE (RATING) CURVE 6-4. Inthe absence of detailed data, preliminary rating curve may be prepared by computing the discharges at different water levels using the following formu —~—_ SESS RSRERERERSERERERE EE Where Q= ig S oe mis A = area of cross-section of flow; m?A = hydraulic mean radius in m; and S= friction slope. 6.2 The stage discharge curve obtained from 6.1 is for the existing unretrograded condition of the river. This stage discharge curve will have to be modified to account for possible retrogression in the river after the construction of a weir or a barrage. This may be done by suitable reduction of the stages at high and low discharges with proportionate reduction of stages at intermediate discharges and by redrawing the curve through these points. 7 POND LEVEL large into the canal and work 8 FRLIMWLIMDDL : In case of hydro power projects, the terms Full Reservoir Level ( FRL), Maximum Water Level ( MWL) and Minimum Draw Down Level ( MDDL) shall have the same Meaning as given in IS-4410,Part6. 9 PERMISSIBILE AFFLUX 9.1 The waterway of the barrage/weir is governed by the permissible afflux (at the design flood) to be permitted and the proposed crest levels. It is important for the design of downstream cistern, flood protection and river training works, upstream and downstream loose protections and upstream and downstream cutofis. 9.2 In case of barrages or 10 RETROGRESSION In gravelly and bouldery rivers, retrogression of the dowinstream bed is considerably less than in alluvial reaches. A value of 0.5 m may be adopted at lower river stages, which may be reduced to 0.3 m in high flood stages. This value can be reviewed after the construction of barrage or observation of G&D data on the downstream. 11 WATERWAY 14.1 For deciding the preliminary waterway (‘P’) of the barrage in Bouldery River, the following formulae developed by different Engineers may be used as guidance. a) Using P.
