Calculation of Discharge by Catchment Area Method

This document calculates the discharge at a bridge site using three different methods and selects the design discharge. It also calculates scour at the bridge site. The key points are: 1. Discharge is calculated as 141.82 cumecs using the area-velocity method, 43.68 cumecs using the catchment area formula, and 95.17 cumecs using the runoff method. 2. The highest discharge of 141.82 cumecs is selected as the design discharge. 3. Scour is then calculated based on this design discharge value, the highest flood level, effective waterway, and weighted mean particle diameter.

CALCULATION OF DISCHARGE BY CATCHMENT AREA METHOD

(3/4)
Discharge,Q= C.M
Where,
C= Catchment area constant [as section 4.2 of IRC:SP:13-2004] = 12
M=Catchment area[in SQ.KM.] From topo sheet = 5.6

Discharge[Cumecs] = 43.68

CALCULATION OF DISCHARGE BY runoff method METHOD


Discharge calculation by runoff method requires the data from topo sheet

maximum rainfall[appendix -A of IRC:SP-13,2004) I0 mm/hour 78

fall in level from the critical point to the bridge site, H meter 18

distance from the critical point to bridge site, L Kilo meter 3.1

time of concentration

tc hour [0.87X{L3/H}(0.385)] 1.056

Critical intensity of rainfall

Ic = I0{2/(tc+1)} mm/hour 75.867

Discharge = [0.028*P*f*Ic] Cumecs

P=Percentage co-efficient of runoff for the catchment 0.8

f=factor considering the likely spread of the storm in
