No. of Gates :-
2) Roller friction:
fr = 0.1
4) Guide friction
Frictional and other forces opposing the downward motion of gate during
= (2174+167 +170)=2511 kg
Water pressure Bottom horizontal girder of the gate = 5.7 – 0.215 = 5.485 t/m2

NOTE:-
Highlighted points are assumed as per the drawings and information gathered from site.
From the above calculations it is clear that weight of the gate is not sufficient for self closing
of gate in flowing water conditions.
An additional ballast of 2600 kg may be required in gate to make it self closing under
flowing water conditions.
If we replace the seals from rubber to Teflon cladded than there is no requirement of ballast.
Calculations for the same has been carried out below
Please get it vet form AIZ engineering for their observations and comments if any.
