Irrigation works design (2) Head Regulator

General Data for Project 1

Figure (1) shows the D.S cross section of a main canal in which a
reinforced concrete regulator is to be constructed. The regulator
consists of 4 vents each 3.0 m width. The maximum discharge through
the regulator is Q = 50 m3/sec and the maximum heading up is 10 cm.
The following data are also considered in the design:
i. The bridge width = 10.0 m and it has 2 sidewalks of 1.0 m each.
ii. The pier width =1.0 m, Vertical sliding steel gates with four Main
girders are used.
iii. The equivalent Dead and Live loads of the bridge are 1.00 and
3.00 t/m2, respectively.
iv. The soil properties at the regulator site are: Φ = 30o, γbulk = 1.80
t/m3, void ratio 40 % and the soil bearing capacity = 1.15 kg/cm2.
v. (For the used R.C, K1 = 0.31, K2 = 1218).

It is required to:
a) Check the value of heading up for fully open gates.
b) Give a complete structure design of the regulator.

Note: any missing data to be reasonably assumed.
