for steel liners, which also include pressure shaft liners.
The penstock liners shall be designed for the full internal pressure
corresponding to maximum surge level including water hammer. The liner
shall also be designed for external pressure with a safety factor (buckling
factor) of 1.5 and the concrete lining gap to be adopted as per IS Codes or as
per Standard practice. The liners shall also be checked for external pressure
due to concrete grouting, filling and dewatering. The liners may also be
provided with stiffeners, if required to resist buckling due to external water
pressure and handling stresses.
Spacing and size of stiffener rings shall be determined in accordance with the
AMSTUTZ equations for a stiffened liner.
The steel plates to be used for penstock steel liners shall be pressure vessel
quality plates and conform to IS: 2002 Grade-3 /ASTM A 516 Gr.70 or
equivalent.
The project area is located in highly seismic prone area and the seismic
parameters specified and approved by the relevant Government authority in
Nepal shall be followed in the Design. The method of design shall be per BIS
standard IS -1893 (Part -1) - 2002- Criteria for Design of Earthquake
Resistant Design of Structures- Part -1 General Provisions and Buildings or
