The length of the waterway, L is calculated from Laceys regime formula (given in
section4.5.2).
The discharge per unit length of the waterway, q is calculated as q = Q/L.

State 2. When water is flowing over the weir crest and the weir is submerged (Fig. 4.20 b).

The top width is determined on the consideration of no tension criterion for determining the
width of an elementary (or triangular) profile of a dam or a weir, given by

The top width of the weir is affected by height of crest shutter and it is given by,
B1 = S + 1 (meters)
Then, the largest of the three values is taken as the top width of the weir wall.
State 1. Head water is at crest level or at the top of the crest shutter (if any)
Considering the pressure diagram in Fig. 4.20(a), the overturning moment is given by
(H + S)

The resisting moment about the outer middle third point of the bottom is given by,

The above expression is valid when u/s and d/s faces have the same slope. If the u/s face is kept
vertical, the resisting moment is given by
HS m 2
Mr =

By equating the overturning moment to the resisting moment, the bottom width B is determined.

In this equation there are two unknowns, viz. d and D and the relation between the two must be
known to find the maximum overturning moment. When the weir extends over the entire width
of the river and the width of the river is of considerable width in comparison to its depth, d is
roughly proportional to D, i.e. d = kD; where k is a constant and can be known if the river
discharge for any one depth is known (i.e. gauged).
M0 =
M 0 = H 3 + 3kDH 2 D 3

The maximum value of M0 is obtained from,

Or
D=H k
Hence, the maximum value of M0 is given by

The resisting moment may be considered to be approximately the same as that given for state 2.
Like the previous cases, by equating M0 and Mr, B is determined.

Example 4.3
Design a vertical drop weir on the basis of Blighs theory for the following site conditions:
(a) Maximum flood discharge = 2585 m3/s
(b) H.F.L. before construction = 255 m
(c) Minimum water level = d/s bed level = 248 m
(d) F.S.L. of canal = 254 m
(e) Allowable afflux = 1 m
(f) Coefficient of creep, C = 12
Assume any other data not given.
If permissible exit gradient is 1/6, test the floor of the above weir by Khoslas theory and
make changes if found necessary.

Min. length of inverted filter = 1.5 d2 = 1.5 x 7 = 10.5 m
Min. length of launching apron = 1.5 d2 = 1.5 x 7 = 10.5 m
Total length of downstream pervious apron = 2 x 10.5 = 21 m
But the total length to be provided for both is 38.7 m.
Hence, provide inverted filter of length 17.7 m with 1 m thick stone or concrete blocks
