DESIGN
1. Length of crest
In case of vertical drop falls, the length of crest should be the same as the .
bed width of the channel

Crest length (L) = 0.23 m

2. Crest Level
In case of falls if discharge is less than 15 cumecs, Rectangular crest is provided.
The discharge is given by
Q = 1.835*L*D(3/2)*(D/Bt)(1/6)
Assuming crest width (Bt) = 0.65 m
0.871 = 1.835 x 0.229 x D3/2 x (D / 0.65 )1/6
D = 1.48327
Velocity of approach with slope 1.25 : 1
Va = 0.871 / 0.229 + 1.07875 x 0.863
Va = 0.772 m/sec
Velocity Head ha = Va2/2g
= 0.0304
u/s TEL = u/s FSL + velocity head
= 168.192 + 0.03
= 168.22 m
RL of crest = u/sTEL - D
= 168.22 - 1.483
= 166.739 m
Adopt crest level = 166.74 m
3. Shape of Crest
(a). Width of crest
Width of crest (Bt) = 0.55 * ÖD1
where D1 = height of crest above d.s. bed
= 166.74 - 167.274
= -0.53 m
 Bt = 0.55 X Ö -0.53
= ### m
Keep width of crest = 0.65 m
(b). Width at base
Thickness at base = 0.5 x D1
= 0.5 X -0.53
= -0.267 m
Provide thickness at base = 0.80 m
Its top shall be capped with 20 cm thick cement conc.(M15)& both edges rounded.
4.Approach
The side wall may be splayed straight at an angle of 45 0 from the us edge of the
crest and extending by 1.0 m in the earthen bank from the line of FSL.
5. Downstream wings
Side walls shall be straight and parallel up to the end of floor and shall be
kept vertical.
6. Upstream Protection
Brick pitching in length 0.863 m
should be laid on the u/s bed slopping down towards the crest 1:10 ; and provide three
drain pipes of 15 cm diameter at the bed during the closure of the channel.
7. Cistern Elements
Depth of cistern = dc / 3
dc = (q2 / g ) 1/3
q = 0.372636 cumec/m
dc = 0.24 m
Thus Depth of cistern = 0.08 m
RL of cistern = d/s bed level - Depth of cistern
= 167.274 - 0.08
= 167.19 m
Provide RL of cistern = 167.1 m
Length of cistern = 5.2*dc+1.067+HL
= 5.2 X 0.242 + 1.067 + 0.34
= 2.664 m
Provide 3.0 m long cistern at RL 167.1 m.
8. Length of Impervious floor
Bligh's coefficient = 7
Maximum static head = Crest level - d/s bed level
= -0.53 m
Total floor length required = 7 X -0.53
= -3.738
Total floor lengthprovided = -3.8 m
Minimum d.s. floor length reqd. = 6.77*dc+5.182+HL
= 6.77 X 0.24 + 5.182 + 1 0.34
= 7.158655 m
Provide d.s. floor length = 6.5 m
Provide d.s. floor 6.5 m long and
2 m under and upstream of the crest.

Sheet pile bottom elevation = 166.30 m
Provide sheet pile bottom elevation = 57.15 m
Total floor length and exit gradient
The exit gradient should be checked for the condition whe57.15
when canal is running at FSL; this provides the worst static condition.

Maximum static head head = 166.74 - 167.27
