The Conc. Block of 4'x4'x4' will be placed over 2' thick inverted filter which consists of
a 9'' layer of shingle (3'' -6'') over a 9'' layer of coarse shingle (3/4'' -3'') over 6'' layer of
fine shingle (3/16'' -3/4''). There are 2'' wide spacings on the sides of a block which are
filled with fine shingle to provide free seepage flow.

ii.) Top level to be 5ft above estimated HFL after allowing for
1.5ft of accretion.
iii.) Front slope of marginal bunds is 1:3 (not pitched)
iv.) Back slope to be such as to provide a minimum of 2ft. cover,
over a hydraulic gradient of 1:6
v.) U/s water level at nose of guide bank =

100(G-1)
tf= thickness of floor in ft.
= % uplift pressure
H= maximum differential head causing
seepage
G= specific gravity of concrete
=
2.4
a) Thickness of floor A
Assumed thickness =
2.5 ft.
Thickness from uplift pressure
=
15.739 ft.
Due to excessive weight of water acting on the u/s floor,provide
nominal thickness of 2.5 ft.
Similarly, provide 2.5ft. thick floor at K, and the thickness of
u/s glacis floor is also to be taken as 2.5ft.

Barrage Design

b) Thickness of floor at L
Assumed thickness=
Thickness from uplift pressure
=
So,Provide a thickness of

10 ft.
9.157 ft.
10.000 ft.

c) Thickness of floor at N
Assumed thickness=
Thickness from uplift pressure
=

10.477 ft.

So,Provide a thickness of

11.000 ft.

9 ft.

d) Thickness of floor at P
Assumed Thickness
Thickness from uplift pressure
=

6.673 ft.

So,Provide a thickness of

7.000 ft.

7 ft.

e) Thickness of floor at crest

u/s of the gate over the crest, waater is always standing hence provide
nominal thickness of 2.5 ft.
Uplift pressure at crest= L+ K- L x
=

39.98

74.65
52.652 %

Hence, thickness of Floor at crest d/s of the gate

=
12.246 ft.
Provide a Thickness of

13.000 ft.
