Hydrological Analysis For The Proposed Bridge

This document provides a hydrological analysis for a proposed bridge over the Sunkoshi River in Sindhupalchowk, Nepal. [1] Several methods are used to calculate the design discharge rate, finding values between 2209-5505 cubic meters per second. [2] The mean scour depth is estimated to be 13.41 meters below the highest flood level, with a maximum scour depth of 7.62 meters for piers and 4.84 meters for abutments. [3] The analysis will inform the proper design and construction of the bridge to withstand flooding and prevent failure.

Hydrological Analysis For The Proposed

Bridge
1.introduction
Bridges are very expensive structures, cores of rupees are spending for the construction, but most of
them does not last longer life therefore a proper hydrological and hydraulics detail investigation is
required for the proper design and construction of bridges. There is need of hydrological analysis before
start of bridge construction. The result obtained from the analysis and by keeping in a view of suitable
free board value the construction of bridges has to be fixed. The river flood accompanied by some
storms are one of the major causes for the bridge failure. Most of the people directly depends on the
river basins for their livelihood, including hydropower, domestic supply, irrigation etc. so flood profile
information collected from hydrological analysis help in preventing above mentioned lives and
infrastructures. The country Nepal is located in Asia in the lap of Himalayans. The fast-flowing river with
higher catchment area, increases the risk of flooding.

2.study area
The proposed sunkoshi river bridge projects found in sindhupalchowk of bagmati state. The proposed
bridge connects Arinako highway with Sapping municipality. The project area consists of different
topography like rocky mountain, high hills, snow cover area etc. and different vegetation based on the
data collected from GIS software.

A. Catchment Area: -
The catchment Area of the Proposed bridge outlet is 3189 sq.km.

B. Stream network:-

C. River Length: -
The longest path measured from the GIS software is 137.54km .

D. Land cover area:-

The snow cover Area is 270.71 km. sq.

E. Catchment area division: -


3.calculation of design discharge
1.Ryves method
Qp = CR * A2/3
Where,

Qp = maximum flood discharge(m3/s)

CR = Ryves coefficient ( 10.2 for Nepal )

A = Area of catchment in sq. km

Qp = 10.2 * 31892/3 =2209.89 m3/s.

2.Fuller’s method
Q=Cf *A0.8(1+0.8log10 T)

Where,

Q=maximum discharge

Cf=a constant which varies from 0.18 t0 1.88

T=Return period in years

A=Catchment Area in sq. km

We have,

A=3189 sq. km

Cf =1.45 for Nepal

Then

Q=1.45 * 31890.8(1+0.8log10(100)) = 2394.77 m3/s.

3. wecs method
Water and energy commission secretariat has published a regional hydrological analysis report
according to which the flood flows in any river of catchment area below 3000m of elevation is given by

Q =14.63 * (A3000+1)0.7342
= 2221.0409 m3/s

Where,

A3000= 934.4175 sq.km

4.DHM 2004
The formula for 100 years return period is given by

Q = 20.7 (A3000)0.72

Where

Q is the design flood in m3 /s .

A3000 is the basin area in sq km below 3000 m elevation.

Q = 2849.44 m3/s

5 . MODIFIED DICKENS METHOD


Q = CT * A3/4

Where

CT = 2.342log10(0.6 T) * log10 (1185/p) +4

And

P = 100(As + 6)/(AS +A)

From calculation

P = 7.97

CT = 13.02

Q = 5505 .41 m3 /s
1.linear water way(w) =90 m
2.Scour depth
From irc: 078 clause no 703.1

Design discharge of foundation


Q=3780.08 m3/s
Clause no 703.2
Mean scour depth
The mean scour depth from the highest flood level (hfl) for natural channel
flowing over scourable bed is given by :-
Dsm =1.34(Db2/ksf)1/3 ……………………….1
Where
Db=the design discharge per meter width of effective waterway
Ksf = silt factor for a representative sample of bed material obtained upto the level
of anticipated deepest scour
Calculation of Db
Db= Q/w
=3780.08/90
= 42.000
Calculation of ksf
Ksf =1.76√dm
Where dm median size of bed material in mm.
For our site, from geotechnical report
dm =1mm
then
ksf = 1.76
from (1)
Dsm = 1.34 (422/1.76)1/3
=13.41m
Bed level from hfl = 9.6 m
Scour depth from bed(d) = 13.41 – 9.6
=3.81m

From irc 078 clause no 703.3


Maximum scour depth
For piers
(Dsm)max = 2 *d
=7.62m
For abutment
(Dsm)max = 1.27 * d
=4.84m
