It is not economical to construct, when the drop height exceeds 4 meters. The drop structures are used in the gully bed at suitable ee ee he gully by changing its profile from a steep slope to a gentle slope length. design of straight i it following steps. en ight drop structure is completed in 1 Inlet design. Straight drop spillway consists of straight type inlet, that is why ats “name became as straight drop spillway. This type of inlet is most suitable for wide and 1 shallow gullies to handle small to medium flows. To calculate the inflow capacity of straight drop spillway, the following weir formula may be used : Q=2 0, Vig Li? GD Where, 4 peak discharge rate which is to be handled by the structure. acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s’). length of crest. head of the crest coefficient of discharge. Its value varies considerably with the ions. However, the value of Cz 28 0.6 is commonly stituting the values of C, and ‘g’ in above equation and after simplification, the equation (5.1) reduced to : Q = 0.017LHY? w(5.2) This equation yields the value of peak discharge in m’/s, if L and H are expressed in m. By above equation, the L and H are determined using hit and_ trial method by satisfying the Q value./A free board ranging from 15 to 30 cm is also added to H. Outlet Design. Outlet design is performed under consideration that the kinetic energy gained by the sheet of flowing water when falls from crest of the gully head to the down stream side of the structure, must be dissipated and/or converted into potential energy. The preliminary calculations to design the outlet, are performed by following two terms: Froud number—It may be calculated by the following formula: Qzrad wou wouou cnr 14 ‘Where, ” F = froud number, is a dimensionless ar V = velocity of flow entering the jumps 2 d th of flow at entrance. 5 a. When eo then V = vgd, under this condition, the flow is said to in erieal slale itical flow. In this case is nas sub-critical flow. fF <1 or V< vgd, then flow ited into reduction of flow velocit ity force is most dominating which resul See erres Similarly, if F > 1 or V > Ved, the flow is referred as Super critical flow. Tn this state, the internal forces become more effective than the gravity force, causing increase in the flow velocity. In outlet design, the attempts are made to bring the d/s flow velocity in sub-critical range, by creating hydraulic jump, inside the outlet.
