Flood Estimation:

50 years design flood discharge (m /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
2
A= Catchment area in Km

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 ]
= [ 0.427^3 / 45 ]^ 0.345
= 0.111 h
= 7 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 = 0.111 h,
Ratio of 50 yrs tc hrs rainfall / 50 yrs 24 hrs rainfall = 0.075

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)= [ 0.075/0.38 ] = 0.197

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

= 18.94 mm

So, I = R50 (tc) / tc

= 18.94 / 0.111
= 170.631 mm/h

Hence, total discharge = Q50 = 0.278 C I A

= 0.278 x 0.815 x 170.631 x 0.0948
= 4 cumecs
 Fixing of Bridge Length:

1) From Modified Rational Method:

Discharge Calculated: = 4.00 m3/s

3
Calculation of Regime width for discharge of 4.00 m /s
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 4^0.5 9.671 m
2) Bank to bank distance:
Bank to bank distance: = 2.642 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 =1x3x2M _RCC box
Total Bridge length (dirt wall inner to inner) = 3.700 m
Let,
Width of side wall = 0.350 m

Width of Clear waterway, B'= 3.700-(0.350x2) = 3m

Rugosity coefficient, n= = 0.05
Slope, S = 0.1053864
2/3 1/2
Q50=(B'xd)x(1/n)x((B'xd)/(B'+2d)) x (S) = 4.00 m3/s
Depth of flow,d = = 0.428 m
LBL = = 374.056 m
Hence, Calculated HFL = = 374.484 m
Survey HFL = = 376.815 m
Take Survey HFL

2/3 1/2
Velocity = (1/n)x((B'xd)/(B'+2d)) x (S) = 3.119 m/s
 Afflux and Maximum scour level calculations
HFL = 376.815 m ( From survey data)
LBL = 374.108 m ( From survey data)
Width of side wall = 0.350 m

Providing m Dia Pile

Span Arrangement =1x3x2M _RCC box
Total bridge length (dirt wall inner to inner) = 3.700 m

Clear linear water way Provided = 3.700-(0.350x2) =3 m

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

3
Design discharge = 4.000 m /s
Considering Velocity = 3.119 m/s
3
Design Discharge for foundation(Qf) = 4 x 1.33 = 5.320 m /s
Design per linear m = qf = 1.77 cumec/m
Average Ksf (from soil report) = 2.580

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

WATER COMMISSION)
Here, Width of waterway provided = 3.700 m
Lacey's Regime Width = 9.671 m
Width of waterway provided < Lacey's Regime Width
So, (Ref. Cl: 4.6.4 of IRS Substructure Foundation Code )
Normal Scour depth from HFL = 1.338 x (qf^2 / Ksf)^0.33 0.602 m

Scour Level: 376.815-0.602 = 377.000 m

Hence this level is above LBL, So Scour will not occur.

Calculation of afflux:
Discharge = 4.0 cumec
Velocity (V) = 3.119 m/s
2
Area (A) = 1.28 m
Total Linear Waterway = 3.7 m
Average Depth = 1.28/3.7 = 0.35 m
Clear Linear Waterway due to obstruction= 3 m
2
Area(a) = 1.05 m

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

= (0.54+ 0.01524) x[(1.49)-1] = 0.272 m

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