1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of structure
Ungated weir structure is provided across Likhu khola river. The structure is abutted against under
sluice structure on left bank and in situ rock mass on right bank. On the downstream it is abutted
against stilling basin which is a gravity floor. Weir is an ungated structure with crest at EL 1451.0. The
weir is given a hydraulic shape to discharge design flood of 402 cumecs (1 in 100year flood) at
maximum water level of EL1453.75.
Purpose of the ungated weir structure is as below.
 Facilitate smooth discharge of 1 in 100 year flood i.e 402.0 cumecs downstream.
 Create a reservoir with FRL at EL 1451 from where design discharge of 24.1 cumecs is drawn
at design head for power generation.
 Removal of floating debris downstream which otherwise would clog the trashrack installed in
front of the Intake.
1.2 Layout of the weir structure
The proposed weir structure is consisted of one overflow block and one under sluice block. Overflow
block is of width 44.4m and under sluice block on left bank is of width 7.0m. Proposed sluice is of size
4.0m (W) x3.8m (H) and overflow is of length 44.4m at crest. The overflow block is proposed to be
divided into three blocks of maximum width15m. Each block is separated from the other by contraction
joint with water stops. Overflow weir is presented below in Fig 1.1 and the modified section of the
overflow weir analysed in the report is presented in Fig 1.2. It is assumed that the upstream key would
not take any load and would crack in case of slide or about to slide. The main purpose of the key is to
reduce uplift pressure below the weir and it is justified to not consider it for stability analysis of the
weir.
The weir is constructed out of concrete. The mass concrete at the centre is of grade M15. Size of
aggregate to be used may be as large as 150mm. However it depends on maximum size of aggregate
that would be handled by the concrete mixing plant. The cement used should be low heat cement and
each layer of concrete should not be more than 1m to restrict heat of hydration within permissible
value. The mass concrete is encased in high grade concrete of grade M25 at base, upstream face and
downstream face. Glacis is laid with 500mm(minimum) thick high performance concrete of grade M60
which would give resistance to erosion due to high velocity of flow.

2. Geotechnical input data
The foundation of Likhu khola A weir structure is kept on the overburden. The foundation strata
(overburden) is made up of gravel/boulders in sandy matrix. The terrace was earlier investigated
through drill holes up to 25 m depth and no bedrock has been encountered. Thus, it is apprehended
that the foundation strata would be overburden comprising loose sand admixed with gravels,
boulders and pebbles of calcium sillicates, phyllite, schist etc.
The engineering property of these type of materials is assumed to be cohesion less with low angle of
internal friction. Further, the material is expected to be very permeable. From visual examination of
the material the following engineering parameter may be considered:
Cohesion (C) = 0
Angle of internal friction (Ø) = 30ᴼ
Safe bearing capacity = 250kn/m2

4. Design Forces
4.1.1 Gravity Loads
(a) The following unit weights for the materials have been adopted in the stability analysis:
(i) Unit weight of water : 9.81 kN/m3

(ii) Unit weight of concrete : 24.0kN/m3

(b) Following basic dimensions have been considered in the calculation of the gravity loads

(i) Weir block width : overflow block i.e 15.0m
(ii) Weir base of 19.0m (in flow direction).
(iii) Weir overflow section as per drawing.
(iv) No water weight on ogee section
4.1.2 Reservoir and Tail Water Loads including U/S Silt Pressure
These loads have been worked out as per the water levels mentioned above. The hydrostatic
pressure is calculated as product of g and h which varies linearly from top to bottom. Where g
is the unit weight of water and h is the height of the location considered below water level.
Weight of water over the upstream inclined portion and crest has also been considered and are
shown graphically in the figure below.
It has been assumed that reservoir will be silted on the U/S apron up to start of upstream slope,
i.e upto EL 1450.50 m. Silt pressure has been worked out in accordance with IS 6512‐1984 Clause
5.5.2 (a).Vertical loads of silt on the upstream face of the overflow section is also presented
graphically in the figure below.

4.1.4 Earthquake Loads
Design basis earthquake (DBE) horizontal seismic coefficient has been considered as 0.22g and
for maximum credible earthquake (MCE) it is considered as 0.44g.
Earthquake forces in horizontal as well as in vertical direction have been considered in the
analysis.
4.1.5 Hydrodynamic Pressures
For the loading combinations considering earthquake loads, the hydrodynamic pressure has
been worked out for DBE case as per procedure given in IS 1893:1984 (Clause 7.2).
Hydrodynamic pressure is conservatively assumed to act up to the crest at EL1451.0 above
upstream apron level of the Weir i.e EL 1441.5m.

 Mass Concrete in Main Weir Blocks ‐ M15 grade
 Concrete surrounding mass concrete ‐ M25 grade
 Non structural concrete ‐ M60 grade
5.1.2 Design Characteristic Strength of Concrete
fc of Mass Concrete in Main Weir Blocks = 15 MPa
Conforming to provisions of Sec. 5.13.2.3, of IS:6512‐1984, Permissible Tensile Stresses is given in the
following table, have been adopted in the analyses under various load combinations.
Table5.1: permissible tensile stresses

In Terms of fc (MPa) (kn/m2)

(fc = 15 MPa)
C 0.01 fc 0.15 150
E 0.02 fc 0.30 300
G 0.04 fc 0.60 600
Maximum permissible tensile stress with MCE loads (Load Case H) will be same as for case G. As per
IS:6512 and IS:456‐2000 a permissible stress in direct compression for the Weir Blocks is 4000kn/m2.

6. Pseudostatic Analysis
Stability analyses of the overflow structure have been performed for representative 15 m long block.
The structure is analysed on the average sloping base connecting heel tip with tip of the toe. Detailed
analyses and calculations have been carried out in Excel format and have been presented in the
appendices of this document. Factor of safety against sliding and overturning has been calculated for
all cases and tabulated in table‐6.1 result summary.
6.1 Results
Result of analysis is tabulated below. Calculations have been done as per Indian standard code‐IS 6512.
The results of stability analysis are summarised in the following table. Detail stability calculation is

7. Upstream slab & stilling basin
Main purpose of the upstream slab is to increase the seepage path and provides smooth passage to
design flood. No measurable differential head of water acts on it and therefore minimum required
temperature reinforcement is provided. Key is provided all round the slab to counter possible
scouring. The key also provide supporting at the edge which would otherwise crack due to
differential settlement. Reinforcement detail is presented in Annexure. Reinforcement of 16T @
200mm c/c have been provided on both faces across the flow and 16T @ 200mm c/c along the flow.
Stilling basin is a gravity structure whose thickness varies from 2.5m to 1.8m. Uplift is get balanced by
the self weight of the stilling basin. No appreciable force acts on it and therefore minimum
reinforcement is provided against possible shrinkage cracks. Reinforcement calculation is presented
in Annexure. Reinforcement of 16T @ 200mm c/c have been provided on both faces across the flow
and 16T @ 200mm c/c along the flow.
Fish pass is a small structure running parallel to the Likhu khola and is located on the right bank. The
structure is anchored to the insitu rock mass suitably. Thickness of the slab as well as wall is 200mm.
Reinforcement calculation is presented in Annexure. Reinforcement of 12T @ 250mm c/c have been
provided on both faces horizontally or vertically.

8. Conclusion
Factor of safety against sliding for all possible load cases is found to be greater than one. It concludes
that the overflow section is safe against sliding. The stresses developed in case H for seismic force
acting upward is 277.84kn/m2 which is more than assumed value of 250kn/m2. However due to
momentary effect of earthquake the calculated stress at the foundation level may not develop. In
seismic case safe bearing capacity can be increased by 33%. In case H for seismic force acting
downward the passive pressure from downstream would be active. In this case passive pressure of
river bed material has been considered and the weir structure is found to be safe against sliding.
However tension generated at upstream which is of the order of 18kn/m2 is well within the
permissible value of 600kn/m2 as per table 5.1.
In all other cases of load combination the base pressure is positive. This implies that base will remain
in contact with the foundation for all cases of load combinations. Overall the section is safe and
stable under all possible load combinations mentioned.
