CALCULATION OF SCOUR DEPTH:-

1) HFL (HIGHEST FLOOD LEVEL) = 0.000 m

2) LWL (LOWEST WATER LEVEL) = -3.535 m
3) LBL (LOWEST BED LEVEL) = -11.535 m (As per BH-1)
4) MAXIMUM VELOCITY OF WATER (v) =2.0 m/s (Considered)
5) MAXIMUM DISCHARGE = 600 m3/s (Q)

DESIGN DISCHARGE (Qd) = 1.30Q = 600 X 1.30 = 780 m3/s [IRC: 78 – 2014, Cl – 703.1.1, Pg-9]

SILT FACTOR (Ksf) = 0.60 (FOR FINE SAND/SILT) [IRC: 78 – 2014, Cl – 703.2.2.1, Pg-10]

 CALCULATION OF HORIZONTAL LOAD ON PILE DUE TO WATER CURRENT:-

INTENSITY OF PRESSURE DUE TO WATER CURRENT IN Kg/m2 IS GIVEN BY:-

P = 52 KV2 [IRC: 6 – 2017, Cl – 210.2, Pg-39]

K = 0.66 FOR CIRCULAR SECTION
v = 1.5 m/s (Considered)

THEREFORE HERE, P = 52 X 0.66 X 2.02 = 137.28 Kg/m2

= 1.37 KN/m2

NOW, UNSUPPORTED LENGTH OF PILE BELOW HFL = (12.535 + 4.0) = 16.535m

(0.00  1.37)
 LATERAL FORCE ACTING ON THE PILE = 16.535  11.33KN

Lateral load coming from the superstructure = 11.50KN

 Total Lateral load = (11.33 + 11.50) = 22.83 KN Say 23 KN

Comment: The pile design has been rechecked considering the maximum
discharge = 600 cumecs and maximum velocity = 2.0 m/s which is a conservative
over estimation in comparison to the values as they are mentioned in the drawing
vide no.SGAPL/PHED/MALDA/18-19/01 SHEET NO-1 of 1, Revision -1 by the
concerned Division vide letter no.826/MAAD Dated-02/08/2018. The
unsupported length considered while rechecking is = (12.535m + 4.0m) = 16.535m
below HFL, ignoring the contribution of the layer of slush as its skin friction has
been ignored in the calculations.
As per IRC: 78-2014, cl-709.3.5.2, Pg-38 the allowable pile deflection at the scour
level is 1% of the pile diameter. The lateral capacity of the pile is calculated by
considering the deflection at the point of application of the load, which comes out
to 22mm, considering a linear profile which is both simple and conservative in
approach.
