1. Unit Weight of Concrete = 2.40 tonnes/Sqmt
2. Velocity of flow during High flood= 2.62 m/sec
3. Pier Height = 3.50 m
4. square portion= 1.60 m
5. Curved portion= 0.45 m
6. Width of pier = 0.90 m

For calculating stresses only the straight portion of the pier will be considered.
1. Stress at base due to self weight:
self weight of the pier = ((1.60x0.9) + (3.14/4 x 0.90)) x3.50x2.40 = 18.03
Compressive stress at base = 18.03/( 0.9 x 1.60)( 3.14/4 x 0.9) = 8.40

2. Effect of Buoyancy:
During High flood and when bandhara is closed, submerged volume of the
pier= 0.9x1.60x3.50= 5.04 cum
Stress at base due to buoyancy = 5.04x1.0/(0.9x1.6)= 3.5

3. Stress due to Hydrostatic force:

Hydrostatic force when bandhara is close and no water on
downstream side = 1.0x3.52 x2.90 = 17.76 tonnes
2
Moment due to hydrostatic pressure = 17.76 x (3.50/3) =
Stress = M/Z= (30.93/(0.9X1.62 )/6 = 53.97 T/Sqm

4. Stress due to water current:

Intensity of pressure = 52KV2
Where = K= Constant depending upon shape of the pier (0.66 for Semi- Circular cut water)
V= Velocity of flow = 2.62 m/sec.
Therfore, Intensity of pressure = 235.586 Kg/Sqm
Force due to water when flow is parallel to the pier = 0.74
This force acts at a distance of (2/3) from the base.
Moment= 0.74x (2/3)x 3.5 = 1.73 T-m
strees= M/Z = (1.73/(0.9x 1.62 )/6 4.51 t/sqm
If the current varies direction varies by 20 degrees
Then Pressure parallel to the pier = 235.59xCos 20 = 221.3786
Pressure perpendicular to the pier = 235.59x sin 20= 80.58
Force Parallel to the pier = 0.9 x3.50x (221.4/1000)= 0.70
acting at ( 2/3) height above the base.

stress at base = M/Z =

M = 0.7x(2/3) x 3.5 = 1.63
Z= ( 0.9X 1.62 )/6 = 0.38

Stress at Base = 4.24 T/Sqm

Force perpendicular to pier = ( 80.58/1000)x1.6x3.5 = 0.45

stress at the base = M/Z

M= 0.45x(2/3)x 3.5= 1.05
Z= (1.6 x 0.92 )/6 = 0.22

Stress at Base = 4.87 t/Sqm

Thus, Maximum stress due to water current = (4.24+4.87)=

Summary of Stresses :-
Sr No Loads Bandhara ( Dry) Bandhara ( Closed )
1 Self Weight 8.40 8.40
2 Buoyancy 3.5
 3 Hydrostatic
Forces 53.97
4 Water Current
Max. Stress 8.40 86.14
Min. Stress 8.40 74.94

Maximum Compressive stress = 86.14 t/sqm 0.86 N/sqmm

Allowable Compressive Stress for M20 grade concrete 5.00
Since Max Compressive Stress < Allowable Compressive stress, Hence Safe.

Max. Tensile Stress = 74.94 t/Sqm 0.74 N/Sqmm

Allowable Tensile Stress = 10% Compressive Stress = 10% of 5.00 N/Sqmm

Since Max Tensile Stress > Allowable Tensile Stress.

Therefore, Provide Nominal Reiforcement of 12 Tor @ 200mm c/c.
