Discharge Through Bridge

This document summarizes the calculation of discharge through a bridge during a flood event. It provides details on the bridge dimensions, maximum observed flood height, and equations used to calculate variables like velocity, height of afflux, and discharge rate. The key results are a velocity of 1.611 m/sec, a height of afflux of 0.16 m, and an estimated discharge rate of 7621.18 cubic feet per second.

DISCHARGE THROUGH BRIDGE

Discharge through Regulator Q = C A 2g (x + ha)


Where
C = 0.9
A = Area of C/s of Vents in Road Bridge
Number of Vents = 3 Nos.
Width of Vent = 7.50 m
Maximum Flood height Observed = 4.50 m
Area of Vents = 3 Nos. x 7.50 m x 4.50 m

= 101.25 m

Velocity calculation:
Bed fall(S) = 1

n = 0.025

R = A
P
P = 3 x (( 2 x 4.50 )+ 7.50 )
= 49.50 m
R = 101.25 = 2.05 m
49.50

V = 1 x 1.61 x 1
0.025 1600
= 1.611 m/sec. (or)

x = height of afflux = V2 l2 -1

v = 1.611 m/sec.
l = 3x 7.50 = 22.5 m

x = 1.61 22.50 -1

ha = Va
2g
Va = Velocity of Approch
Va = d V
d+x
Where V = Velocity in the Vari = 1.611 m/sec.
d = Depth of flow @ MFL = 4.50 m
x = height of afflux = 0.16 m

Va = 4.50 x 1.61
4.50 + 0.16
= 1.555 m/sec.

ha = 1.555 = 0.12325 m
2 x 9.81
Q = 0.9 x 101 x 2 x 9.81 ( 0.16 + 0.123 )
= 215.974 Cum/sec.
= 7621.18 Cuft/sec.
