UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM APRON SLAB CALCULATION

UPSTREAM SLAB FIGURE:

DOWNSTREAM SLAB FIGURE:

Q= 18.13 m3/s
Energy Elev. = 159.628 m
D-apron Elev.= 151.65 m
HE= 7.978 m

COMPUTING d1 by trial & error;

d13 -HEd12 + Q2/2g = 0
try d1 = 15.20025 m
= 0.008141 ≈ 0

V1 = Q/d1
V1 = 0.525 m
FR= V1/√(gd1) m
FR= 0.043 m
d2= (d1/2)(√(1+8FR2-1)
d2= 0.056 m
or d2= (d1/2)+√[d12/4+((2V12d1)/2g)]
d2= 15.228 m

SOLVING FOR UPSTREAM SLAB LENGTH (La):

GIVEN DATA:
P'= 3.8 m Weir Ht. @ downstream
HOR. DISTANCE VER. DISTANCE
H1= 1 m V1= 1 m
H2= 1.5 m V2= 0.2 m
H3= 21 m V3= 1.5 m
 H4= 11.6 m V4= 0.5 m

La= Lat -H1 (Length of upstream apron Slab)

LcAD = Cr*P' Required percolation Length from A-D
Cr = 2.5 (Creep Ratio)
LcAD = 9.5 m
9.5 (∑V)+(1/3)(Lat-H1-H2)
Lat= 21.4
La= 20.4 m
THEREFORE;
USED (La)= 21 m
Lat= 22 m
CHECK FOR (S)=
S= √(Lat-H1-H2) +(V3-V2)
2 2

S= 19.543 m
2S= 39.086 m
Lca= (V2+V3+V4)+(1/3)(Lat -H1 -H2)
Lca= 8.7 < S SAFE!

THEREFORE FINAL UPSTREAM LENGTH = 22 m

SOLVING FOR DOWNSTREAM SLAB LENGTH (La')

La'= (1/3)(La+5(d2-d1)+4d2)
La'= 27.684 m
USED La'= 28 m
