Check for Velocity

Froud No. (Fr) = = 0.429701 < 1
Flow is Sub-Critical
B. Checking for adequacy of waterway provided For Existing Bridge:-
a) Discharge (Q) = 245.240

b) Mean velocity ( allowed ) (V) = 2.830
c) Average waterway required = Q/V = 245.24/2.83 = 86.66
d) Exsisting opening = 3 x 6.5 = 19.5
e) Ht.of water = Ave. waterway/Exist. opening = 86.66/19.5 = 4.440
f) Average Bed level = 234.933
g) OH.F.L. = 238.048
As Waterway requirment fullfilled , hence there is no contraction in waterway at c/s of Ex. Bridge
Therefore Afflux at bridge section will be zero.
h) Therefore C.H.F.L .= Bed Level + Height of Water = 239.373
i) Vertical Clearance required as per Br.Sub.Struc.Code = 1.077
j) Required Bottom of Slab/Girder = CHFL + Vertical Clearance = 240.450

k) Existing Bottom of Slab/Girder = 239.928
l) Hence provided Proposed Bottom of Slab/Girder = 241.735
Vertical Clearance w. r. to CHFL

m) Vertical Clearance available for Proposed Bridge=BOG-CHFL = 2.362
Vertical Clearance w. r. to OHFL
n) Vertical Clearance available for Proposed Bridge=BOG-OHFL = 3.687
As Existing Bridge is RCC Box. Therefore Vertical Clearance requirement is Zero for Existing Bridge.
Free Board at U/S Side of Ex. Bridge should be estimated including afflux, Because Waterway requirment not f
at U/S Side of Ex. Bridge.
o) Calculation of afflux For Exsisiting Bridge
- Velocity of flow (V) = 2.830
- Unobstructed sectional area of river (A) = 126.1404
- (Clear distance between abutment x Height)
- Obstructed sectional area of river (a) = 104.8284
- Afflux = [�^2/17.88+0.01524]𝑥[ 〖 (�/ = 0.207
�)^2 〗− 1]
p) Required free Board as per Br. Sub Struct. Code = 1
Formation Level
q) Minimum Formation Level Required = CHFL+Afflux+Free Board = 240.580
r) Existing Formation Level = 242.538
s) Hence Proposed Formation Level = 242.605
Free Board w. r. to CHFL

t) Free Board of Proposed Bridge = F.L. - (CHFL+Afflux) = 3.025
