Design of Syphon

This document provides the design details for the reinforced concrete barrels of a canal syphon. It includes calculations for determining the distribution factors, dead loads, earth pressures, fixing moments, design moments, required member thicknesses, and reinforcement details. The syphon consists of two 3m x 2.5m barrels. Design moments, fixing moments, and required reinforcement are calculated for each of the three spans - AB, CD, and AD. Reinforcement is specified as 16mm bars spaced 12.5cm, 11.25cm, and 16.25cm respectively for the three spans.

Design of Syphon Barrels
Design barrels of the canal syphon as reinforced concrete box. The data is given below:
1. Number of barrels =2
2. Size of barrel =3 m 2.5 m
3. Bank level =254 m
4. Drain H.F.L =253.25 m
5. Uplift at base of barrel =4.5 t/m

6. Unit weight of dry earth =1.6 t/m
3

7. Unit weight of saturated earth =2.0 t/m

9. Angle of internal friction in all
conditions
=30
Design
Assume the thickness of the frame 30 cm all through so that the effective length of horizontal
and vertical members are 3.3 m and 2.8 m.
