Improved Rational Formula
(Flood estimation method as per RDSO Report No. RBF-16):
A) Area of Catchment (A): = 0.7263 sq. Km
B) Distance from the critical point to the Outlet (L): = 1.889 km
C) RL of Farthest Point: = 405.44 m
D) Fall in level from the farthest point to the Outlet (H): = 30.8 m
E) Slope of stream, S: = 0.01632
F) Nature of soil: = Medium to deep clayey, black cotton soils

Flood Estimation:
50 years design flood discharge (m3/s) = Q50 = 0.278 C I A
Where,
C= Runoff coefficient
50 year rainfall intensity (mm/h) lasting for tc hour duration
I=
where tc is the time of concentration
A= Catchment area in Km2

STEP-1:- Calculation of Runoff Coefficient (C) :

0.2
Now, C= X (R F)

Value of "X" depends upon the soil type and location as given in Chart No 1

Chart No 1
Sl. No. Description of catchment Value of X
1 Sandy Soil/sandy loam/arid areas 0.249
2 Alluvium / silty loam / coastal areas 0.332

Red Soil / clayey loam / grey or brown alluvium /

3 0.415
cultivated plains / tall crops /wooded areas

Black cotton/ clayey soil / lightly covered / lightly

4 0.456
wooded / plain and barren / submontane and plateau

5 Hilly soils / plateau and barren 0.498

STEP-2:- Calculation of time of concentration (tc) :

3 0.345
tc= [ L / H ]
= [ 1.889^3 / 30.82 ]^ 0.345
= 0.592 h
= 36 min
STEP-3:- Calculation of areal reduction factor depending upon catchment
area and duration of rainfall (F) :

Value of F is calculated from the table given in RDSO Report RBF 16

Value of F
Catchment area Duration of rainfall
2
km < 30 mins 30 to 60 mins 60 to 100 mins
A < 2.5 0.72 0.81 0.88
2.5≤A≤5 0.71 0.8 0.87
5<A≤13 0.7 0.79 0.86
13<A<25 0.68 0.78 0.85
Note: Rainfall duration shall be equal to the calculated t c for the catchment

F= 0.72

STEP-4:- Calculation of 50 year 24 hour point rainfall (R) :

R= 220x1.15 mm as read from3f (lower Godawari) subzone (fig-3.6)
253 mm

And, For Black cotton/ clayey soil / lightly covered / lightly wooded / plain and barren /
submontane and plateau
X = 0.456

Therefore, C C = 0.456 x (25.3 x 0.72)^ 0.2

= 0.815

STEP-5:- Calculation of I :

From Fig. 2
The location of this bridge lies in sub-zone 3f of Hydrometerological Subzones of India

From Fig. 4
Thus, for curve corresponding to Zone 3
And,
For T = tc hrs = 0.592 h,
Ratio of 50 yrs tc hrs rainfall / 50 yrs 24 hrs rainfall = 0.275

For T = 1 h,
Ratio of 50 yrs 1 hr rainfall / 50 yrs 24 hrs rainfall = 0.38

Therefore, Ratio of 50 yrs tc hrs rainfall / 50 yrs 1 hr rainfall (K)= [ 0.275/0.38 ] = 0.724

Now, R50 24 hour rainfall = 253 mm (as in step 4)

So, R50 1 hour rainfall = [ 253 x 0.38 ]

= 96.14 mm

Now, R50 tc hour rainfall= K x R50 1 hour rainfall

= 69.605 mm

So, I = R50 (tc) / tc

= 69.605 / 0.592
= 117.576 mm/h

Hence, total discharge = Q50 = 0.278 C I A

= 0.278 x 0.815 x 117.576 x 0.7263
= 19 cumecs
 Fixing of Bridge Length:

1) From Modified Rational Method:

Discharge Calculated: 1.889 19.00 m3/s
405.44
3
Calculation of Regime width for discharge of 19.00 m /s 30.82
Pw=1.811 X C X Q^1/2 (As per cl No. 4.5.3 of IRS Substructure foundation code.)

Where, P= Wetted perimeter in meters which can be taken as the effective width of waterway

Q= Design discharge in m3/s

C= A Coefficient normally equal to 2.67
= 1.811 X 2.67 X 19^0.5 21.077 m
2) Bank to bank distance:
Bank to bank distance: = 8.244 m

From the above data and also considering the suitable abutment location and site condition,the proposed
bridge has been fixed as the details given below:
No. of Span = =1
Span Arrangement =1x9.15M _PSC slab
Total Bridge length (dirt wall inner to inner) = 10.340 m
Let,
Width of abutment shaft = 1.150 m

Width of Clear waterway, B'= 10.3-(1-1)xx2-1.15/2x2 = 9.15 m

Rugosity coefficient, n= = 0.05
Slope, S = 0.0163155
Q50=(B'xd)x(1/n)x((B'xd)/(B'+2d))2/3 x (S)1/2 = 19.00 m3/s
Depth of flow,d = = 0.953 m
LBL = = 377.164 m
Hence, Calculated HFL = = 378.117 m
Survey HFL = = 380.708 m
Take Survey HFL

Velocity = (1/n)x((B'xd)/(B'+2d))2/3 x (S)1/2 = 2.181 m/s

 Afflux and Maximum scour level calculations
HFL = 380.708 m ( From survey data)
LBL = 377.164 m ( From survey data)
Width of abutment shaft = 1.150 m 159.9
377.62
Providing m Dia Pile 380.91
Span Arrangement =1x9.15M _PSC slab
Total Bridge length (dirt wall inner to inner) = 10.340 m

Clear linear water way Provided = = 9.15 m

( As per cl. No. 4.5.6 of IRS Substructure Foundation Code )

3
Design discharge = 19.000 m /s
Considering Velocity = 2.181 m/s
3
Design Discharge for foundation(Qf) = 19 x 1.33 = 25.270 m /s
Design per linear m = qf = 2.76 cumec/m
Average Ksf for abutment (from soil report) = 2.580

(For Wardha at hivra site of Godavari Basin, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA CENTRAL

WATER COMMISSION)
Here, Width of waterway provided = 10.340 m
Lacey's Regime Width = 21.077 m
Width of waterway provided < Lacey's Regime Width
So, Following, (Ref. Cl: 4.6.4 of IRS Substructure Foundation Code )
Normal Scour depth from HFL for Abutment = 1.338 x (qf^2 / Ksf)^0.33 1.012 m
Scour Level:
For Abutment ( 1 x DSL)= 380.708 - 1.012 = 379.700 m
For Abutment (1.25XDSL)= 380.708 - 1.012x1.25 = 379.500 m
Hence this level is above LBL, So Scour will not occur.
Calculation of afflux:
Discharge = 19.0 cumec
Velocity (V) = 2.181 m/s
2
Area (A) = 8.71 m
Total Linear Waterway = 10.34 m
Average Depth = 8.71/10.34 = 0.84 m
Clear Linear Waterway due to obstruction= 9.15 m
2
Area(a) = 7.686 m

As per Cl. No. 4.7.1 of IRS Substructure & Foundation Code

= (0.27+ 0.01524) x[(1.28)-1] = 0.08 m

(Considering HFL is including Afflux)
So, Afflux= 0m
