Trash Rack Calculation

The document summarizes the design calculations for an irrigation project's trash rack and intake. For the trash rack, it specifies design parameters like bar spacing, size, and material. It calculates opening size and checks velocity and lateral support. Stress calculations are shown to verify the trash rack bars are safe. For the intake, it specifies the design curve equation for the bell mouth opening based on the conduit diameter, verifying it meets code standards.

Design Calculations for Irrigation Project

Trash Rack Design:


Slope provided = 15 Degrees
(As per IS:11388 (1995) - Clause -5)
C/C spacing of bars provided =
Depth of bars provided =
Thickness of bars

100

mm

60

mm

=
12
mm
(As per IS:11388 (1995) - Clause -8.5.1)

So, opening size

Height of Trash Rack =


=
Total width provided

88

2 * 3.28
6.56
2940

Total opening width =


=

mm

m
m
mm

88mm * 26 No. + 76mm * 2 No.


2440
mm

Design Discharge

6.9

So, Velocity

0.431

m/sec

0.862

m/sec

If 50% clogged, then velocity =

m3/sec

which is leass than 1.5 m/sec


(As per IS:11388 (1995))
Check for lateral support:
Max. lateral unsuppored length of trash rack bar =
Maximum allowed length =
=
=

730
mm
70 * thickness
70*12
840
mm

Therefore, track bars are safe.

Design of trash rack bars,

(Clause 8.3 of IS:11388)

Design differential head load=

So, applying an UDL of above load, with ends of trash racks as fixed,
Max. beanding moment (at ends) = w.L.L/12
here, w = .g.h * width of bars
=
0.7056 N/mm
So, Max BM =

31334.5 Nmm

Maximim stress = M.y / I


where y = distance of farthest fibre from centroid
and I = moment of inertia
y=
I=

depth of bars/2 =
b.d.d.d/12 =

Max. stress =

30
mm
216000 mm4

4.352

N/mm2

As per Clause - 8.5 of the code,


Allowable failure stress of bars = Yield stress * (1.23 - 0.0153 L/t)
Yield Stress =

250

So, Allowable failure stress =

N/mm2
74.813

N/mm2

This is more than the actual max. stress generated


So, Safe.

Intake Design
For bell mouth opening:
curve provided should be:
x2

According to Clause - 5.3.2 of IS-11570,


a = 1.1 H

y2
b

b = 0.291 H
where H = diameter of conduit = 3000mm

so, a =
and b =

3300
875

So, bell mouth provided is having equation:


x2
(3300)^2

y2
(875)^2

And for vertical sides, the corresponding equation is,


x2

a2

y2

b2

(As per fig. - 8 of IS-11570 and fig.13 IS-9761)


a = 0.55 b
b = 0.214 b
here b = width of conduit
So, bell mouth provided is having equation:
x2
(1650)^2

y2
(643)^2

om centroid
