Gaunless Flood Alleviation Scheme

Design Study 2

• Gather data

• Sketch layout marking levels Marking areas where volume calcs required

• Draw a cross section Identify levels in each region

Question 1 Data Required

• Culvert Diameter 2.6 m

• Number of culverts 2

• Maximum culvert velocity1 m/s

• 1 in 200 year design flow 48 m3/s

• 1 in 1000 year design flow 242 m3/s

Steps

1. Calc volume in rise from 123 to 127 m

2. Calc flow in culverts (Q=Av) i.e. Flow out of the reservoir

3. Calc net inflow, Q = Qin – Qout Qin = 48m3/s

4. Time = Volume / Q

Question 2 Data

• Spillway weir Cd 0.73

• Spillway weir width 150 m

• 1 in 1000 year design flow 242 m3/s

• Maximum velocity on spillway 8 m/s

• Assume velocity on spillway is 4 times the velocity over the weir

Steps

1. Calc allowable velocity over weir

2. Calc height Use Q = Av = BHv

3. Calc height for a 1000 year flood Q = 242m3/s

4. Calc Velocity over weir

Today’s lecture:

• Design Study

• Used basic fluid mechanics seen in lectures

• Sized and checked design
