HYDROLOGY CALCULATION
DISCHARGE CALCULATION:
1. Discharge by RYVE'S formula
As per IRC:SP:13-2004 (Cl. 4.3)
Discharge Q= C . M2/3
Where, M = CatchmentCatchment
area in sq.km=
area in sq. km = 2.710
C = 6.8 for Areas near Coast less than 25Km,
= 8.5 between 25Km and 160Km of coast.
= 10 for limited Areas near the hills.
Taking C = 8.5
Therefore, Discharge
Q= (8.5X2.71^(2/3))
Q= 16.52 m3 / s.
2. Discharge by Area Velocity Method
i) Bed slope
Bed level at 130 m U/S 606.774 FRL = 612.410 m
Bed level at 130 m D/S 605.595 WC = 53 mm
Super Structure = 1480 mm
Average bed slope = 0.0045 Free Board = 600 mm
ii) Calculation of discharge for each cross section
a) Cross Section at 30 m U/S

iii) Mean Discharge by AV Method
Based on Discharge Calculations at different locations
Average section of river 162.60 m2
Average Discharge 686.22 m3/s
Average Velocity 4.21 m/s
3. Design Discharge Q = 686.2247 m3/s
As Per IRC: SP-13-2004, Article 6, The highest of the above value shall be adopted as the Design discharge.
But the provided maximum value doesn’t exceed the second highest discharge by more than 50%.
Hence 1.5 x 16.52
Design Discharge Q = 24.78 m3/s
CALCULATION OF LINEAR WATER WAY AND CHECK FOR AFFLUX:
Design discharge Q = 24.78 m3/s
Velocity of river V = 0.55 m/s
Observed HFL = 610.277 m
Sill level = 607.297 m
Depth of water d = 2.98 m
Area of section at causeway A 1 15.80 2.98 = 47.08 m²
Available waterway A1 1 15.00 2.98 = 44.70 m²
As per IRC:89 1997 :(Molesworth formula)
Afflux H = {(V2/ 17.88) + 0.015} x {(A / A1)2 – 1} = 0.004 m
Velocity of approach=average velocity (Va=V.d/(d+H)) = 0.55 m/s
Head due to velocity of approach (Hva=Va2/2g) = 0.02 m
Total Afflux (Ht=H+Hva) = 0.02 m
Calculated HFL = 610.296
Velocity through vent (Vv=(2gHt)0.5) = 0.613 m/s
Linear waterway required (LWW=Q/(0.9*Vv*d)) = 15.07 m
Taking 1 Span of 15.00 m
Provided linear waterway(L) = 15.00 m
SCOUR DEPTH CALCULATION:
Mean Depth of Scour: dsm = 1.34 (Db 2/ Ksf )1/3
Design discharge Q = 24.78 m3/s
Effective linear Waterway L = 15.00 m
Db = Q / L
... Db = (24.78/15)
1.65 m3 /sec/m.
Ksf = 2.00
dsm = 1.34X(1.65^2/2)^1/3
1.49 m
Max Depth of Scour: For Abutment = 1.37 x dsm
dm= 2.04 m
For Pier = 2.00 x dsm
dm= 2.97 m
