R.C.C BOX :-
slope area method
R.C.C box design under canal portion, under head wall
and earth bank portion.The stress under head wall is
restricted to stress under earth bank and adopted the
same thickness and reinforcement for both the cases
i.e., the same section is adopted.
Step2- Selection of type of structure
a. Design of ventway for the Drain / stream
in UT limiting allowable velocity.

Step3:
Design of Tail channel
keeping in view of Lacey's Formula for
Wetted perimeter & velocity limits depending
on soil strata/ Trail pit classification.
Step4:
If necessary provision for drops on U/S and
D/S of drain shall be provided.Transition with
2 : 1 and 3 : 1 splays on upstream and
downstream.Transition lengths on U/S & D/S
of drain.
Step5:
TEL calculations for the Drain considering
eddy loss coefficients as per IS code along
with flow diagram with dimensions and levels.
on U/S & D/S of drain - The walls adopting TVA
procedure / Coulomb's Theory / Rankine's Theory
with appropriate top width . Reference
2. Tabulation of stress table :- A consolidated stress IS : 7784 (Part 1 ) : 1993
table has to be furnished indicating the stress on IS : 7784 (Part 2 / sec I) : 1995

wall, Wings & Returns.
3. The minimum grade of PCC shall be M15 Grade and
the minimum grade of RCC shall be M30 grade for
Box.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS :-
1. PVC Water stops
2. Weep holes in the Retaining walls above water level.
