Barrage Presentation

The document discusses the design of a barrage. It begins by outlining the contents which will cover what a barrage is, how it works, advantages and disadvantages, required investigations and data, location and alignment, planning and layout, hydraulic design, and references. It then defines a barrage as a low dam that controls water flow through large gates. It notes the key difference between a dam and barrage is that a barrage is used at a river mouth to increase depth for navigation or irrigation. Finally, it briefly outlines the process of preliminary and detailed investigations required for barrage design including topographic surveys, hydrological data collection, and subsurface testing.

WHAT IS
BARRAGE ?
A barrage is a low type of diversion dam which
consist of large gates that can be opened or
closed to control the amount of water passing
through the structure. The gates are set
between flanking piers which responsible for
supporting the water load of the pool created.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DAM AND
BARRAGE
Dams and barrages are barriers
constructed across a river or a natural
water course for diverting water into a
canal for the purpose of irrigation or
water supply, or into a channel or tunnel
for generation of electricity.

PRELIMINARY
INVESTIGATION
Study of available maps.
Study of available hydrological data.
Assessment of water requirement.
Availability of construction materials.
Communication to the site of work.
DETAILED
INVESTIGATION
Detailed topographic survey(index map, site survey plan, cross sections &
longitudinal section)
Hydrological data-Rain fall, Discharge data (daily, monthly, annual), flood
hydrographs, observed flood marks

Surface and subsurface investigations including laboratory tests.

Bore holes up to hard rock level or 10 to 25 m below river bed level .

One or two bores for each bay, at body wall, U/s & D/s cutoff line .

Availability of clay and its extent, depth & location .


Rock strata: Trial pits to be excavated to know the over burden depth, loose deposits,
depth of weathered zone, extent of joints & fissures for treatment to prevent
seepage.
Water table.
