Discharge by dicken's Formula:

Dickens Formula:
Area of Catchment (A):
Dickens Constant, CD :
Discharge = CD x (A)3/4
Design Discharge
Regime width = 4.8 x (Q)0.5
= 130 Ha Ánnual Rain Fall: 360.0 mm/hr
= 14
= 17 m3/s
= 23.7 m3/s
= 23.4 m

Discharge by Peak runoff catchment method ( Rational formula):

Rational formula , (Q=.028*P*f*M*Ic)
P - Runoff coefficient = 0.600
f - Mean intensity factor = 0.620
M - Area in hectares = 130 Ha
Ic - Critical intensity of rainfall in cm/hour = I0*(2/(tc+1))
I0 - Max. hourly rainfall in cm/hour = 10.00 cm/hour L = 8.00 H = 1.000
Time of concentration (tc) = .385*(.87*L/H) = 2.68 Ic = 5.44

Discharge (Q)=(.028*P*f*M*Ic) = 7.360 cumecs

Page 22

Summary of discharge
By area velocity method = 24.00 cumecs
By catchment area method = 17.04 cumecs
By rational formula = 7.36 cumecs

Design discharge = 24.00 cumecs

 Calculation of Waterway & Scour Depth
Discharge, Q = 24.00 cumec
Design Discharge of the bridge location, Q = 31.20 cumec.
Regime width, W = C x sqrt(Q) = = 26.81 m (Where C= 4.8) 17.42737
Width restriction upto 31.0% = 8.31 m 19.76737
Regime width after restriction = 18.50 m
R.L. of HFL = 96.410 m

Type of Bridge: RCC T-Girder

Proposed Span Scheme :
Span provided= 18.75 m No. of Span= 1
Hence Total length of the Bridge = 20.3 m
Width of individual pier shaft = 2.00 m Skew angle: 0
Width of obstruction including Abutments = 2.40 m
No. of intermediate supports = 0 Nos.
Bank to Bank Distance at site 23.00 m Actual length= 23.00 m
Effective Linear Waterway (Le) = 17.89 m

HFL = 96.410 m
Q = 31.20 cumec
Le = 17.89 m
Db = 1.74 cumec/m
Ksf = 1.0
S = 0.0005
dsm = 1.34*(Db2/Ksf)^1/3
1.941 m
For abutment, 1.27*dsm = 2.47 m
For Pier, 2*dsm = 3.88 m

RL of scour for Abutment = 93.944 m

Top level of Pile cap of Abutment = 94.500 m
Depth of Pile (Abutment) = 20.000 m
 Calculation of Afflux Height

Proposed Span Scheme :

Hence total length of the bridge for the river proper = 20.29 m
Width of individual pier shaft = 2 m
Width of pile cap = 5.1 m
Width of obstruction = 3.10 m
No. of intermediate supports = 0 Nos.

AFFLUX HEIGHT
Average velocity of flow = V = 0.521 m/sec.
Un-obstructed area of flow = A1 = 20.29 m (Area of flow at bridge site)
Obstructed area of flow = A = 18.29 m 2.25

Afflux at H.F.L. by Molesworth formula :

h = + 0.0153 1
17.86 A

Hence, h= 0.007 m. = 7.0 mm

MINIMUM FREE BOARD

Minimum free board recommended = (Vide Clause 106.2.1 of IRC:5) 0.900 m.
Additional free-board required for Afflux = 0.007 m.
Total Free-board required = 0.907 m, say = 0.95 m.
Design FRL:
Hence soffit level of girder of superstructure = 97.450 m
Depth of superstructure = 1.875 m
FRL already provided= 99.400 m
Thk of wearing course = 0.075 m
Hence deck top level of the bridge = 99.310 m Hence proposed FRL is Ok
