Cross-Sectinal Area-Bed Slope Method

Since the Bridge is provided across a defined stream, we estimate flood discharge from the conveyance factor & slope of the stream
applying Manning's Velocity Formula. As the flood rises above the bank line, the cross section of the river is divided in to three subsections
and velocity is calculated as per Cl-5.7, SP-13:2004.

Step I - HFL Fixation:-

From the survey data, we fix the HFL = 98.487 m
Position HFL LBL Chainage
At U/S 98.687 92.680 200.000
At D/S 98.287 92.278 200.000
At ± 0.0 98.487 92.573 0.0

Step II - Slope Calculation :-

Average Slope is caculated as : Position LBL Chainage = 0.001
At U/S 92.680 200.000
At D/S 92.278 200.000
As there is very much undulation along the long section of the stream , the bed slop is obtained as,
Use Slope,S : = 0.001
Rugosity co-efficient used= = 0.045
