ABSTRACT
Continuous flushing settling basin is a demand for hydropower which are going to be built in
river having high sediment concentration. The main aim of continuous flushing system is to
regulate continuous production of power with continuous flushing of sand collected. While doing
this the power production would not be interrupted and becomes economical to power plant.
There are various ways of flushing the settling basin continuously. But we discussed about
Hydro suction in detail.
Building life is connected with human life in context of earthquake prone zone. So it is important
to design building resistant to those hazards. The aim of reinforced concrete design is to achieve
an acceptable probability that structures being designed will perform satisfactorily during their
intended life. With an appropriate degree of safety, the buildings should sustain the entire load
and the deformation of normal construction and have adequate durability and resistance to fire.
Particularly, in case of powerhouse, the building should also be able to withstand the loads due to
the turbine, penstock, generators and the vibration produced.
The powerhouse at Thapakhola Hydroelectric project is designed as a special Moment Resisting
Frame Structure. This project mainly focuses on seismic analysis and structural design of
different members components of a powerhouse building and economic analysis of different
sections. The project aims at obtaining a design output by limit state method. With the
involvement of all these facts, manual design of the members will have a limited approach. Thus,
the necessity of structural analysis software has been reflected. SAP2000 v.14 has been used for
analysis the members and components. Autodesk AutoCAD along with MS office like MS word,
MS excel and MS PowerPoint also been used for the successful completion of our project.
The vertical loads including dead load and live loads along with seismic loads were defined and
the resulting 14 combinations of these loads were used to analyze the structure. The lateral loads
were calculated by seismic coefficient method adopting IS 1893:2002. Structural members and
elements are designed by limit state method considering limit states of collapse and
serviceability adopting IS 456:2000. The structural members and elements are also designed
considering the ductility requirements as per IS 13920:1993. The design aids and handbooks SP-
16 and SP-34 of Indian Standard are also followed.

Introduction
1.1 Project Background

Our project is entitled Design of Continuous Flushing Settling Basin and Power House which
includes design and dimensioning of HSRS system, structural analysis, design, detailing and
sizing of powerhouse. The HSRS system and powerhouse that we have designed is for Thapa
Khola Hydro Electric Project. It is run-of-river schemed project with an installed capacity of 13.6
MW.
The HSRS system has been proposed for the settling basin of Thapa Khola HEP to minimize the
loss in discharge due to conventional operation. This proposed system then add more discharge
for power generation. The design and the dimensioning of HSRS system is based upon the
journal that was published by Hotchkiss.
The design of powerhouse basically considers the dead load, live load, seismic load and wind
load. For the design of powerhouse NBC and IS 13920, IS 456:2000, IS 875-part 2 and for
seismic IS 1893:2002 has been referred. Structural analysis deals with the analyzing the internal
forces in the members of the structures. While structural analysis deals with sizing various
members of the structures to resist the internal force to which they are subjected in course of
their lifecycle.
This project has become a very good platform to transform our theoretical academic knowledge
into practical real world environment. Moreover the final year project helps to design the
structure in terms of safety, economy, stability and efficiency.

Methodology
2.1 Methodology (part I Hydrosuction Sediment Removal system)

2.1.1 Literature Review
a) Topic selection
During our internship, we observe the different component of the Thapa khola hydroelectric
project carefully. The sediment concentration on the river is comparatively high. We had
designed the settling basin on the basis of design discharge and found that the constructed
settling basin can settle the particle size up to 0.15mm, on assuming 6 hour detention time, the
sediment concentration of the river was found to be 8610 ppm. From the obtained result, we
conclude that the constructed settling basin may create a problem on smooth operation of the
power plant. To solve this sedimentation problem, our external supervisor suggests us to study
on the continuous flushing system. So, we have decided to do the Final year Project on design of
the continuous flushing system (Hydrosuction Sediment Removal System).
b) Continuous flushing system

To supply the sediment free water continuously through the water conveyance system, the
sediments need to be flushed out continuously. Continuous flushing system minimizes the
manual work. On conventional system the sediment flushes at once as a result the sediments get
deposited to the downstream. In this method the sediment flushes in the continuous manner. So,
the deposition of sediment in the downstream minimizes. There are different methods for the
continuous flushing system. In this report we will discuss on serpent sediment sluicing system
and perform detail design on hydrosuction sediment sluicing system.
6
i) Serpent Sediment-Sluicing System
The invention concerns a method and means for removing sediment particles from a settling
basin with a longitudinal sluice along its bottom to facilitate a controlled removal of the sediment
particles through an outlet, which sluice being sealable against said basin by at least one sealing
organ. The invention can be used for the extraction of sediments from rivers carrying sediments
in suspension, so as to control the processes on the river bed or utilize such sediments for a
variety of purposes including: sand and gravel extraction, earth filling, mineral exploration, or
the measurement of sediment-transport in rivers. A specific application of the invention is as a
water outlet in river development systems and associated constructions such as hydropower
stations, irrigation systems and normal water supply where there is a need to remove sediments
in the river water before it is lead into the pipelines, tunnels or channels that connect the river to
the end user.
The main purpose of the invention is to find a method and a means of removing sediments that
does not involve halting the fluid flow and only a restricted amount of fluid is required to remove
the sediments.
ii) Hydrosuction sediment removal system
a) HSRS Dredging: Conventional methods of hydraulic dredging use a mechanical pump to

supply the driving power to remove deposited sediment from a reservoir. Hydrosuction dredging
removes sediment from reservoirs using the hydraulic head represented by the difference
between the water levels up-stream and downstream from the dam. The potential energy thus
stored drivers water an sediment into sediment removal pipelines. No external energy is required
to transport the sediment from the intake point to the point of discharge. Two variations of
hydrosuction dredging have been used: bottom discharge and siphon dredging. In siphon
dredging, the discharge pipe is passed over the top of the dam, and in bottom dredging the pipe
passes through low-level outlets at the dam.
b) HSRS Bypassing: Hydrosuction bypassing would employ the same principle to transport
sediment, but would feature a permanent inlet station upstream from the reservoir deposition
zone to collect the sediment into a pipe or pipelines. The sediment/water mixture is transported
through the pipeline and past the dam, where it is returned to downstream receiving waters.

2.1.2 Data Collection
For the design of the continuous flushing system, it requires the sediment concentration data and
Particle distribution curves. These data were provided by the Mount Kailash Pvt Ltd. To install
the hydrosuction sediment system it requires the different equipment like motor, pipes and
valves. To get the cost of these equipment, we have done the market survey.
2.1.3 Consultation
During our project, we have consulted with the people from respective fields. Our external
supervisor Er. Dewakar Acharya also plays important role for the topic selection, he also
suggest us suggest with different ideas. Our internal supervisor Er. Sudip Jha suggests us with
his different ideas regarding the project. We have also consulted with Prof. Ramesh Kumar
Maskey for the continuous flushing system.
2.1.4 Office Works

After the collection of the data, we determine the size of the pipe, Head loss, sediment flow rate
and discharge through the pipe. We calculate the time require to operate this system and
conventional system. On the basis of time of operation, the operation cost is determined for both
the conventional and continuous system. With the help of data collected from the market, the
installation cost for the HSRS is determined. The total cost for the installation and operation for
both the system is determined. The total cost require for the continuous flushing system is found
to be minimum.

2.2 Methodology (part II Structure Analysis of Powerhouse)
2.2.1 Literature Review
a) Topic selection
Design of powerhouse requires both the knowledge on hydropower and structure, so we are
interested on the design of the power house. So, we decided to do the Final year Project on detail
design of power house.
b) Power house
Power house is the conspicuous and vital part of the hydroelectric plant. Two basic requirement
of the power plant is the functional efficiency and aesthetic efficiency. Depending upon the
location of the construction power house can be
i) Surface Power House

ii) Underground Power House
Our powerhouse is of surface type.
c) Dimension of the Power house

i) Machine hall or unit bay: Length of the machine hall depends on the number of units, the
distance between the units, sizes of machine and clearance. Centre to center distance between the
units is taken as (5D+2.5) m. The machine hall width is determined by the size and clearance
space from the walls gangway. The height of the machine hall is fixed by head room requirement
for the crane operation.
ii) Loading bay: Loading bay also known as erection or service bay is a space where the heavy
vehicles can be loaded and unloaded, the dismantled parts of the machines can be placed and
where small assembling of the equipment can be done. The loading bay should be of sufficient to
receive the large parts like the rotor and runner. The loading bay floor will be having a width at
least equal to the center distance between the machines.
iii) Control bay: It is the main room and controls the equipment like runner, gates, valves,
generator etc. It may be adjacent to the unit bay i.e. machine halls as it sends instructions to the
operation bay from where the operation control is achieved.
9
d) Power house Structure
A hydropower station structure can be broadly visualized consisting of two main divisions:
i) Super structure
The portion of the structure that is above ground level which receives the live load, dead load
and other loads is referred to as Super structure. Following are super structures that we have
designed in our project:
a) Beam
b) Column
c) RCC gantry beam
d) Corbel
e) Slab
f) Staircase
g)Truss
ii) Sub Structure
A Sub structure is an underlying or supporting structure to superstructure. It is below ground

level. Foundation is part of substructure. Substructure is the lower portion of the building which
transmits the dead load, live loads and other loads to the underneath sub soil. Following are the
sub structures that we have designed in the project:
a) Mat foundation
b) Shear wall
10
e) Estimation of load
IS 456:2000 is taken as the references for the estimation of load. The total loads that acts on the
support beams for two way slabs may be assumed as the load within the respective area of the
slab bounded by the intersection of 45o line from the corners with the median line of the panel
parallel to the long side. Obtained triangular and trapezoidal loading is converted into equivalent
uniformly distributed load as described in respective section as in fig.
Load in the shaded area to be

carried by beam A
Load in the shaded area to be

carried by beam B
Figure 1: Distribution of loads from slab onto the supporting beam
11
Types of Load
i) Dead load
Dead load is the load which is given by the self- weight of the structures like beam, slab, column,
wall, staircase and so on. IS 875:1987(part I) is used as the reference. Dead load acting at the
slab is transferred as trapezoidal and triangular loads on beam. Dead load from slab is transferred
in beam as uniformly distributed load. Dead load of beam is considered as UDL. Dead load of
column is considered as the point load acting at the joint
ii) Live Load
The magnitude of live load depends upon the type of occupancy of the building. IS875:1987(part
II) is used as the references for the load. In our case the occupancy is an industrial building with
heavy duty equipments. The live load distribution varies with time. Hence each member is
designed for worst combination of dead load and live loads.
iii) Earthquake Load
No building is entirely safe from earthquake. But it is in the best efforts of many building codes
to ensure a level of safety to the building by enhancing its strength and ductility. Any building
should be designed in such a way that
It should not have structural cracks in times of minor earthquake
It should have minor repairable cracks in moderate earthquake
It should not be grounded in times of major earthquake
Earthquake or seismic load on a structure depends on the size of the structure, maximum
earthquake intensity or string ground motion and the local soil, the stiffness, design and
construction pattern, and its orientation in relation to the incident seismic waves. Building
experiences the horizontal distortion when subjected to earthquake motion. So building should
be designed with lateral force resisting system. For design purpose, the resultant effects are
usually represented by the horizontal and vertical seismic coefficient h & v. Alternatively, the
dynamic analysis of the building is required under the action of the specified ground motion or
design response spectra. Since the probable maximum earthquake occurrences are not so
frequent, buildings are designed for such earthquakes so as to ensure that they remain elastic and
the building is prone to least damage.
Seismic load is calculated by using seismic coefficient method as specified in IS 1893(part I):
2002.

2.2.2 Data Collection
As we are re-designing the power house of Thapa Khola HEP. For the penstock and powerhouse
sizing, design discharge and head are needed. On the basis of discharge and head, power plant
capacity is determined and plant capacity determines the size of the machine hall, loading bay
and the control bay. Discharge and head data were provided by the host organization and the
reference drawings of constructed power house of Thapa Khola HEP were provided from the
host organization.
Preliminary sizes of the flexural members of the structural system i.e. slab and beams are worked
out as per the limit state of serviceability (deflection) consideration by conforming to IS456:2000
Cl.23.2.1.Similarly, for the compression member, i.e. columns, the cross sectional area of the
column is worked out from the net vertical axial load on the column lying in the ground floor
assuming suitable percentage of steel. The net vertical axial load on each column is worked out
from the factored dead load and live load on the contributing area, which is taken as half of the
slab areas adjacent to the column under consideration. The load is increased by 20% for the
earthquake load to give the net vertical load.
The following data are used for this project work:

Concrete grade: M25
Steel grade: Fe 500
Imposed load: as per code (IS 875:1987 part-2)
Industrial building with heavy duty equipment: 10kN/m2
Staircase, passages, lobby: 4kN/m2

2.2.3 Consultation
During our project, we have consulted with the people from respective fields. Our external
supervisor Er. Dewakar Acharya also plays important role for the topic selection, he also
suggest us suggest with different ideas. Our internal supervisor Er. Sudip Jha suggests us with
his different ideas regarding the project. We have also consulted with Prof.Dr.Ramesh Kumar
Maskey for the continuous flushing system.
2.2.4 Office Works
a) Preliminary Design
Preliminary sizes of the flexural members of the structural system i.e. slab and beams are
designed as per the limit state of serviceability (deflection) consideration by conforming to
IS456:2000 Cl.23.2.1. Similarly, for the compression member, i.e. columns, the cross sectional
area of the column is worked out from the net vertical axial load on the column lying in the
ground floor assuming suitable percentage of steel. The net vertical axial load on each column is
worked out from the factored dead load and live load on the contributing area, which is taken as
half of the slab areas adjacent to the column under consideration. Thus preliminary design of
column is done by considering the factored axial load on the column as stated in IS 456:2000
clause 39.3.
b) Structural Analysis
Structural analysis deals with the prediction of performance of a given structure under stipulated
loads and other external effects. The performance characteristics of the structure under the
actions of stresses and stress resultants such as axial forces, shear forces, bending moment,
deflection and support reactions has been analyzed using SAP 2000V14. The result is compared
with the preliminary design of the members.
c) Detailed Design
Limit state method is used in design of all structural members. The beam has been designed by
using IS 456:2000. Slab has been designed using coefficient given in appendix D of IS 456:2000.
The column has been designed by using SP16. Other members like corbel, staircase, mat
foundation has been designed using the respective codes. Reinforcement detailing has been
carried out by IS 13920:1993( ductile detailing).

Chapter 3
Continuous Flushing Settling Basin
3.1 Continuous Flushing System
To supply the sediment free water continuously through the water conveyance system, the
sediments need to be flushed out continuously. Continuous flushing system minimizes the
manual work. On conventional system the sediment flushes at once as a result the sediments get
deposited to the downstream. In this method the sediment flushes in the continuous manner. So,
the deposition of sediment in the downstream minimizes. There are different methods for the
continuous flushing system. In this report we will discuss on serpent sediment sluicing system
and perform detail design on hydrosuction sediment sluicing system.
3.1.2 Serpent Sediment-Sluicing System

The invention concerns a method and means for removing sediment particles from a settling
basin with a longitudinal sluice along its bottom to facilitate a controlled removal of the sediment
particles through an outlet, which sluice being sealable against said basin by at least one sealing
organ. The invention can be used for the extraction of sediments from rivers carrying sediments
in suspension, so as to control the processes on the river bed or utilize such sediments for a
variety of purposes including: sand and gravel extraction, earth filling, mineral exploration, or
the measurement of sediment-transport in rivers. A specific application of the invention is as a
water outlet in river development systems and associated constructions such as hydropower
stations, irrigation systems and normal water supply where there is a need to remove sediments
in the river water before it is lead into the pipelines, tunnels or channels that connect the river to
the end user.
The main purpose of the invention is to find a method and a means of removing sediments that
does not involve halting the fluid flow and only a restricted amount of fluid is required to remove
the sediments.
15
3.1.3 Hydrosuction sediment removal system
Introduction
Hydrosuction Sediment Removal System (HSRS) remove deposited or incoming sediment in
reservoirs using the energy represented by the difference between water levels upstream and
downstream from a dam.
There are two types of hydrosuction sediment removal. The first is hydrosuction dredging, in
which deposited sediment is dredged and transported to either a downstream receiving stream or
to a holding or treatment basin [Fig. 4(a)]. The second is hydrosuction bypassing, in which
incoming sediment is transported without deposition past the dam to the downstream receiving
stream [Fig. 4(b)].
Figure 2: Hydrosuction Sediment Removal System (HSRS)
a. Hydrosuction Dredging
b. Hydrosuction Bypassing
16
a) HSRS Dredging
Conventional method of hydraulic dredging use a mechanical pump to supply the driving power
to remove deposited sediment from the reservoir. Hydrosuction dredging removes sediment from
reservoir using hydraulic head represented by the difference between water level upstream and
downstream from the dam. The potential energy thus stored drives water and sediment into
sediment removal pipelines. No external energy is required to transport the sediment from the
intake point to the point of discharge.
The method uses a pipeline at or near the bottom of reservoir that extends upstream to the point
of sediment deposition to the dam. The pipe continues over or through the dam to a discharge
point downstream. The water-sediment mixture is transported through the pipeline until it is
discharged into the relatively clear water that passes the dam through outlet or hydropower
turbines. Sediments need not to be stored in spoil area. Two variations of hydrosuction dredging
have been used: bottom discharge and siphon dredging. In siphon dredging, the discharge pipe is
passed over the top of dam and in bottom dredging the pipe passes through a low-level outlets at
the dam. Both methods may employ a floating barge, which moves the pipeline inlet around the
reservoir to access a larger area.
b) HSRS Bypassing
Hydrosuction bypassing would employ the same principle to transport the sediment, but would
feature a permanent inlet station upstream from the reservoir deposition zone to collect the
sediment into the pipe or pipelines. The sediment/water mixture is transported through the
pipeline and past the dam, where it is returned to downstream receiving water.
3.2 Benefits of HSRS over Conventional Method

It helps to return the downstream system to its more natural, pre-dam condition by
releasing the sediment in accordance with the d/s transport capacity
It reduces the shock that associates with the flushing technique
Less water is used, thus conserving the reservoir water storage
In the bypassing mode, the fraction of sediment entering the bypass system never
deposits on reservoir and a better sediment balance is maintained across the dam
17
3.3 HSRS components
The principal components of HSRS are the intake, pipeline, valve, outlet works and appurtenant
facilities.
3.3.1 Intake
Intake shapes for hydrosuction dredging vary from a straight-end inlet to a dustpan shape. A tin
attachment may be useful for scarifying the bed and suspending the sediment near the inlet.
Intakes may be equipped with external power cutter heads or water jet to suspend deposits from
consolidated beds.
3.3.2 Pipeline
Sediment bypassing requires a permanent structure that excludes sediment from incoming flow
and introduces it to the bypassing pipelines.
Flexible and/or rigid pipes are used to transport sediment and water in a dredging HSRS. A
portion of the pipeline upstream from the dam is usually supported off the reservoir bottom to
make the pipeline easier to move [Fig. 4(a)]. Flexible pipe near the intake or rigid pipes
connected with rubber elbows in the pipeline can be used to facilitate movement. Rubber elbows
however, introduce additional friction losses.
Piping system for a bypassing HSRS need not be flexible. A pipe or manifold of pipes at the
sediment excluder would be attached to a permanent pipeline system that extends to a
downstream discharge point. A separate pipeline to introduce clear water into the system may be
helpful to prevent pipeline blockage and to regulate concentration to match downstream
sediment deficit conditions.
3.3.3 Outlet
The location of the HSRS outlet depends on the intended use of the sediment. For all cases, the
outlet should either be submerged or turned upward so it is always full to avoid air entering the
pipeline. The simplest discharge option is to release the sediment and water into the channel
downstream the dam. Care must be taken to avoid deposition by adding only as much sediment
to the stream as it can transport.
3.3.4 Valve
A valve location at the dam or near the outlet controls flow in the pipeline for hydrosuction
dredging. Easy excess to the valve under all operating conditions and water level is essential.
The water and soil conservation division (1989), in China, offers several practical
recommendations for locating the pipeline valve. They recommended that if the hydraulic head is
not excessive, the valve be fully open when operating, to avoid debris catching in the valve plate.
In the case of sediment bypassing, several valve to control the clear water intake (if used) and the
sediment pipe manifold would be necessary. The sediment-intake valve may need to adjust
automatically to admit only as much sediment as will make up the sediment deficit downstream.
18
Approximate valves for slurry flow are pinch and diaphragm valves, ball valve and plug valve.
Valves should be shut off during period of icing or heavy debris.
Ancillary facilities for hydrosuction dredging may include a raft or barge to move the pipeline
inlet to the reservoir, an externally powered water jet or cutter head at the inlet to breakup
consolidated sediments (if required) and instrumentation to monitor the operation. Newer
reservoir or unconsolidated sediments may not need a water jet or cutter head to loosen the
sediment.
3.3.5 Mechanical Dredging

In hydrosuction dredging it is difficult to move the pipe different position of settling basin. So
we have proposed to provide the mechanical dredging system. In this system the sediment is
transfer from inlet to the mouth of flushing opening. This is consisted of two wheel of length
40m operated with the 0.5kW (for each settling Basin). The sediment transport rate with this
system is 0.05m/s. The detail drawing is shown in annex.
3.4 Hydrosuction Dredging Case Histories

Hydrosuction dredging was first performed in the Djidiouia Reservoir and Dam, in Algeria, from
1892 to 1894. A floating pontoon barge was connected to a submerged pipeline 61cm in
diameter and 1.6 km long. A small turbine at the pipeline outlet generated power for cutting head
at the inlet that chopped up the consolidated sediment before it was mobilized. The reservoir
seriously depleted of storage in its 10-year history, yielded a total of 1,400,000 m3 of silt and
clay in two year operation period. Average sediment concentration in pipeline was 3% and
maximum concentration was 7%.
The Peoples Republic of China to date has the most experience with hydrosuction dredging. The
Chinese have used either the siphon or bottom withdrawal modes in ten reservoirs beginning in
1975. In all cases, the fertile sediment-laden water was passed into irrigation canals downstream
and spread on cropland to replenish the top soil and recharge the nitrogen content. Dam height
varied from 15 to 35m, while initial reservoir storage varied from 1500000-24500000 m3.
Incoming sediment concentration varied from 19 to 150 kg/m3.
19
3.5 Hydraulic Principles
The problem of sediment transport in pipeline is one of two-phase flow and has been considered
by various disciplines over the last several decades. The principles and ideas has been introduced
by several engineering texts, dredging industries and most recently by chemical engineering
works by Shook and Roxo (1991).
Optimum sediment transport in pipelines occurs when the sediment particles are on the verge of
depositing in the pipe. This maximum concentration is referred to as being between a so-called
heterogeneous flow regime and a flow regime with a moving bed. Equations for head loss and
for this condition are needed to design the HSRS pipeline. The problem as applied to reservoir
sediment removal is complicated by the presence of non-uniform and cohesive sediments and by
the difficulty in obtaining detail field measurements that may confirm and verify predicted
relationships.
3.5.1 Head-loss Expression

Most expression for head-loss and transport in heterogeneous two-phase flows follow a form
first used by Durand. After 310 tests with sediment sizes ranging from 0.2 mm to 25 mm,
sediment concentrations range from 2% to 23% by volume, and pipes ranging in size from 38
mm to 710 mm in diameter (1.5 in. to 28 in.). Durand formulated a head-loss function as follows:
= = ( )/().(1)
Where = dimensionless head loss function; K= constant; = dimensionless function of
hydraulic variables; m= exponent; Jm= head-loss gradient for the sediment-water mixture;
J= head-loss gradient for the clear water; and Cv= sediment concentration by volume. The
parameter is defined as
= (V2*Cd0.2)/ [g D(S-1)].. (2)
Where V= flow velocity; D= pipe diameter; S= specific gravity of the sediment; and C d= particle
drag coefficient
Values for K and m have been proposed by different researchers. Durand and Condolios used K=
81 and m= -1.5 based on their experimental data. In another effort to evaluate K and m. zandi
and Govatos analyzed all available data for which the concentration by volume (C v) was greater
than 5%, stating that concentration less than 5% produce less head loss than clear water. They
also determined from experimental plots that about one-third of the data points were for flows in
the moving-bed regime. Upon elimination of these data, they fit two lines to the data; for <10,
K= 280 and m= -1.93, while for >10, K= 6.3 and m= -0.354. No physical significance is
attached to the value of = 10.
For non-uniform sediments it is recommended that a weighted Cd be computed from
20
Cd = p1Cd1 + p2Cd2 +. + pnCdn (3)
Where p1, p2., pn = decimal size fractions from the particle size distribution; and Cd1, Cd2 and
Cdn = drag coefficients of the particle diameters used to represent the sediment size fractions.
The following analysis follows Eftekharzadch(1987) but maintains the constant and exponent as
variables. Substituting from (2) into (1) yields
JmJ 2 m
=K[ ] (4)
CvJ (1)
From the Darcy-Weisbach equation we obtain an expression for dimensionless head loss
J= fV2/92gD).. (5)
Where f= Darcy-Weisbach friction factor. By definition
Cv= Qs/Q= 4Qs/ (D2V). (6)
Where Qs= sediment transport rate by volume. Substituting (5) and (6) in (4) and rearranging
2 1+2 0.5
2
= + 1+ 3+ (1) (7)
2
Equation (7) shows the variation of head-loss gradient, Jm is a function of clear-water friction
and the contribution due to the presence of sediment. The friction loss due to sediment depends
on pipe diameter, D volumetric sediment transport rate Q, sediment size and flow velocity V. the
non-flow variables may be combined into a material constant, as
= 0.5 / [ ( 1)] .. (8)

Where the gravitational constant, g must be expressed in feet per second per second in
accordance with the original derivation,
Substituting into (7) yields
2 2 1+2
= + .. (9)
2 3
Equation (9) can be used to estimate the head loss gradient, J m, in a pipeline transporting a
sediment-water mixture.
21
3.5.2 Sediment-Transport Expression
In hydro suction dredging, the input energy is elevation pressure head, which is relatively fixed
and reflected by the Jm term of (9). The unknowns are flow velocity and optimum sediment
transport rate. Equation (9) suggests that flow velocity varies with sediment transport rate for a
fixed Jm. Therefore, there must exist an upper limit for a given head to transport the maximum
rate of sediment in a pipe. In other words, one can look for a minimum head-loss condition at a
fixed sediment transport rate, or locate the flow velocity at which the head loss gradient is
minimum. This is done by assuming the Darcy-Weisbach friction coefficient f is a constant,
differentiating Jm in (9) with respect to the velocity, and equating the result to zero:
/ = 0 (10)
Which yields,
1
2 21
= ( )
2Qs(1 2m)
Where Vm= flow velocity when the pipe transports the maximum rate of solids with the fixed
head. Rearranging (9) and solving for Qs and simplifying yields the following expression for the
maximum sediment transport rate:
1 2 m
Jm
Qs ( 1 2 m

D 2 2 f D 2

f ( ) 2 m 1 / 2 gD ( ) 2 m 1

Where Qs = maximum sediment transport rate under the available head-loss gradient, Jm.
3.6 Pipeline Design Steps

and trial pipe diameter, D.

Repeat steps 3 to 8 until the difference between the fm values calculated in subsequent steps is
within acceptable tolerance

3.9 Design of Hydrosuction Sediment Removal system
In hydrosuction Sediment Removal system we have to first assume the trial velocity and
calculate velocity of mixture (Vm). Using this velocity of mixture calculate coefficient of
friction. Again start new trial velocity using Vm. This process is repeated till the difference of
consecutive friction coefficient is negligible. Generally the value get converge in 2 to 3 steps.

Preliminary Design
Preliminary design is the process of estimation of approximate size of the structural members
for the analysis. The preliminary design bridges the gap between the design concept and the
detailed phase. As the preliminary design is carried out with respect to the deflection criteria
of the structural element, it is not always sure that the section design during this phase will
pass the analysis. This is because other parameter like EQ load, lateral forces due to earth
pressure are not taken into account.
4.1 Preliminary design of slab
4.1.1 Control room floor slab:

Taking largest clear span = 4600 mm
Shortest span = 3950 mm
Using deflection control criteria defined in IS 456: 2000, clause 23.2.1
Design as two-way slab for continuous slab and span up to 10 m, we have
L/dmin =26* modification factor
For modification factor,

fs = 0.58*fy*
Assuming area of steel required tends to or equal to area of steel provided so,
fs = 0.58*500*1 = 290 kN/m2
Let, us assume % of steel for tension reinforcement be Pst =0.3% of cross section area of slab
Hence, modification factor =1.25 (CL 23.2.2(c), Fig no. (4), IS 456:2000)
So, L/dmin = 26* 1.25 = 32.5
4600
Effective depth = 32.5 = 32.5 = 141.54 ~ 150 mm
Effective cover = 25 mm
Overall depth = 150 + 25 = 175 mm
Adopting overall depth = 175 mm
46
4.2 Design of Beam
4.2.1 Control room

Longest span of beam in X- direction is 5.1 m
Span/dmin = 26 * modification factor
Modification factor = 0.7 (for 2% of steel)
Effective depth = 5100/ (26*0.7) = 280. 22 mm~285 mm
Taking effective cover = 30 mm
Therefore, overall depth, D = 315 mm
To find the width of beam (b),
Width of beam = d to 2/3 d
=310/2 to (2/3) *310
= 155 mm to 206.67 mm
Taking overall width of beam (b)= 250 mm
Section of beam = 315 mm * 350 mm
Longest span of beam in Y- direction is 4.45 m

Span/dmin =26 * modification factor
Effective depth = 4450/ (26*0.7) = 244.51 mm~250 mm
Therefore, overall depth, D=280 mm
Width of beam = d to 2/3d
=280/2 to (2/3) *280
=140 mm to 186.67 mm
Taking overall width of beam (b) = 200 mm
Section of beam= 200 mm * 280 mm
47
4.2.2 Machine hall
Longest span of beam in X- direction is 5.95 m
Effective depth = 5950/ (26*0.7) =326.92mm ~ 330 mm
= 360/2 to (2/3) *360
= 180 to 240
Taking overall width of beam (b)= 240 mm
Section of beam = 240 mm * 360 mm
Longest span of beam in Y- direction is 4.65 m

Effective depth = 4650/ (26*0.7) = 255.49 ~ 260 mm
= 290/2 to (2/3) *290
=145 to 193.33
Taking overall width of beam(b) = 200 mm
Section of beam = 200 mm* 290 mm
48
4.2 Design of column
Design of column along X-axis at point(C1)
Slab load
Slab thickness = 175mm
Unit Weight of concrete = 25 kN/m3
Self-weight of slab = 25 175/1000 =4.375 kN/m2
Load due to floor finish= 1 KN /m2
Live load = 10 KN/m2

Area of trapezoidal section = 2

Area of triangular section= 2*3.95*1.975 =3.9 m2
Total self-weight of slab= (1+4.375+10) *(10.36+3.9) = 219.25 kN
Slab load form 3 storey = 3*219.25 = 657.75 KN
Load from beam:

= bx *Dx *Lx* density + by *Dy *Ly*density
=0.315*0.350*25*5.1 +0.2*0.280*25*4.45/2
=14.05+3.115
=17.165 *4
=68.66 KN
Load from brick
Wall thickness = 9 = 0.2286 m
3.94
Length of wall = 4.61 + = 6.58 m
2
Load from wall = 6.58*0.2286*4.5*20.4*0.9 = 89.03 * 4 = 356.1 KN
Load from column:
Self-weight of column= B*D*5*25 = 125 BD *4 = 500 BD KN
So, total load = 657.75 + 68.66 +356.15 +500 BD = 1082.56 + 500 BD KN
Taking FOS = 3 and adding 20% for earthquake consideration
Puz = 3*1.2*(1082.56+500 BD) = (3897.22 +1.8* 10-3 Ag) KN
From IS 456:2000, CL 39.6
Puz = 0.45 fck. Ac + 0. 75fy.Asc
Assume 3% of Ag steel
fck = 25 Mpa
fy=500 Mpa
BD= Ag
(3897.22+1.8*10-3*Ag) *103 = 0.45*25*0.97*Ag + 0.75*500*0.03*Ag
Ag = 191415.52 mm2
Take B*D = 450 mm * 450 mm

4.3 Preliminary Design of Penstock
A penstock is a pipe that conveys the flow from the surge tank or forebay to the turbine. The
preliminary sizing of penstock can be done using continuity equation with permissible
velocity of water in pipe.

Load Calculation
5.1 Vertical Load Calculations

Load on beams due to slab have been calculated according to Clause 24.5 of IS 456:2000.
Loads on columns are calculated by adding reactions in the beam in both directions
(transverse and longitudinal), and self-weights of a column. Factored loads are obtained by
multiplying the loads by load factor 1.5. The thickness of wall is taken 0.228 meter and the
deduction is done for windows and doors according to its location i.e. interior 10% deduction
and exterior 10% deduction.
a) Slab Load Distribution

The load of the slab is assumed to be formed in the triangular and trapezoidal form forming at
an angle 450 as discussed earlier. Such triangular and triangular load is converted into
uniformly distributed load using the formula below:
Triangular load UDL = qLx/3
Trapezoidal load UDL= qLx/6(3-m2)
Where, q = intensity of load
Lx = short span length
Ly = Long span length
m = (Lx/Ly) = Short span/Long span
b) Self-Weight of Slab
On Second Floor, First Floor and Ground Floor at Control Room
Thickness of slab = 175mm
Unit weight of concrete = 25 kN/m3
Self-weight of slab (only) = 25*0.175 = 4.375 kN/m2
Self-weight due to floor finish= 0.816 kN/m2 (from above data)
Total self-weight = 5.191 kN/m2
51
c) Self-Weight of Wall
Height of wall= 4.4 m
Unit weight of brick masonry = 20.04 kN/m3
Thickness of wall = 0.25m
Self-weight of exterior wall= 4.4*20.04*0.228*0.9 = 18.0937 kN/m (assuming 10%

deduction for doors and windows)
Self-weight of interior wall = 4.4*20.04*0.114*0.9 = 9.047 kN/m (assuming 10% deduction

for doors and windows)
Shear Wall
Height of shear wall= 4.4 m
Height of shear wall= 1.22 m
Unit weight of concrete= 25 kN/m3
Thickness of wall= 0.175 m
Self-weight of shear wall= 4.4*0.175*25 = 19.25 kN/m
Self-weight of shear wall= 1.22*0.175*25= 5.34 kN/m
d) Self-Weight Of Beam
Size of beam along x-axis and y-axis = 0.4m*0.3m (control room)
Self-weight of beam along x-axis and y-axis = 0.4*0.3*25 = 3 kN/m
Size of beam along x-axis and y-axis = 0.5m*0.4m (machine hall except roof section, roof
section has size that of control room)
Self-weight of beam along x-axis and y-axis = 0.5*0.4*25 = 5 kN/m
e) Self-Weight of Column
Size of column= 0.5m*0.5m (control room)
Self-weight of column= 0.5*0.5*25=6.25 kN/m
Size of column = 0.6m*0.6m (machine hall)
Self-weight of column = 0.6*0.6*25 = 9 kN/m

5.2 lateral load calculations
Lateral loads or horizontal forces applied on respective floor of the building have been
computed using Seismic Coefficient Method. The horizontal forces due to earthquake
shock are determined and the next step was to find the design forces in the members due to
these lateral forces.
5.2.1 Seismic Weight

Seismic weight is the total dead load plus appropriate amount of specified amount of imposed
load. The weight of columns and walls in any storey shall be equally distributed to the floors
above and below the storey. The seismic weight of the building is the sum of seismic weight
of each floor.
Seismic weight = DL +0.25LL (For LL up to 3 kN/m2)
= DL +0.5LL (For LL greater than 3 kN/m2)

5.2.3 Calculation of Fundamental Natural Period of Vibration of the Building
According to IS 1893:2002 Clause 7.6.1
The approximate fundamental natural period of vibration (Ta), in seconds, of a moment-

resisting frame building without brick infill panels may be estimated by the empirical
expression:
Ta = 0.075 h0.75 (for RC frame building)
where,
h = height of building, in m. This excludes the basement storeys, where basement walls are
connected with the ground floor deck or fitted between the building columns. But it includes
the basement storeys, when they are not so connected.
63
The approximate fundamental natural period of vibration ( Ta ), in seconds, of all other

buildings, including moment-resisting frame buildings with brick infill panels, may be
estimated by the empirical
expression:
Ta = (0.09 h)/(d)
where,
h = height of building as defined above, and
d = Base dimension of the building at the plinth level in m, along the considered direction of
the lateral force.
Table 8: Calculation of Natural time period in each direction
Calculation of Natural time period in each direction

Height Dimension Ta as per Ta as per
Direction (m) (m) Clause Clause
7.6.1 7.6.2
X-direction 12.63 20.9 0.50 0.25
Y-direction 12.63 4.95 0.50 0.51
Hence, the fundamental natural period of vibration (Ta) is taken as 0.51.
64
5.2.4 Base Shear Calculation
The total design lateral force or design seismic base shear (Vb) along any principal direction
shall be determined by the following expression:
Vb = Ah*W
Where,
Ah = Design horizontal acceleration spectrum value as per 6.4.2 (IS 1893:2002), using the
fundamental natural period T, as per 7.6 in the considered direction of vibration, and
W = Seismic weight of the building as per 7.4.2 (IS 1893:2002).
The design horizontal seismic coefficient Ah for a structure shall be determined by the
following expression:
Ah= (Z/2)*(I/R)*(Sa/g) (IS 1893 (part I):2000 Clause 6.4.2)
Provided that for any structure with T 0.1s, the value of Ah will not be taken less than Z/2
whatever be the value of I/R
Where,
Z= Zone factor for the Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) and service life of structure
in a zone. The factor 2 in the denominator of Z is used so as to reduce the Maximum
Considered Earthquake (MCE) zone factor to the factor for Design Basic Earthquake (DBE).
Zone Factors
Seismic Zone II III IV V

Seismic Intensity Low Moderate Severe Very Severe
Z 0.1 0.16 0.24 0.36
65
I= Importance factor, depending upon the functional use of the structures, characterized by
hazardous consequences of its failure, post-earthquake functional need, historical value, or
economic importance.
I=1.5 for important services and community buildings, such as hospitals, schools,
monumental structures, emergency building like telephone exchange, television station, radio
station, fire station buildings, large community halls and power stations.
I=1 for all other buildings.
R= Response reduction factor, depending on the perceived seismic damage performances of

the structure, characterized by ductile and brittle deformations. However the ratio (I/R) shall
not be greater than 1.
R=5 for Special RCC Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF)
Sa/g= Average response acceleration coefficient based on appropriate natural periods and
damping of the structure.
For medium Sa/g= 1+15 T {0.0<T<0.10}
=2.50 {0.10<T<0.55}
=1.36/T {0.55 <T<4.0}

Base shear= Ah*Wi
To find Ah
Z=0.36 (for seismic zone V)
R=5 (response reduction factor)
I=1.5 (importance factor)
Sa/g = 2.5 (spectral acceleration depending upon the period of vibration and
Damping 5%
g= acceleration due to gravity
Hence, Ah = (Z/2)*(I/R)*(Sa/g)
= (0.36/2)*(1.5/5)*(2.5)
=0.135

5.2.5 Lateral Load Distribution and Storey Shear
Vertical distribution of base shear to different floor levels
The design base shear Vb computed can be distributed along the height of the building as per
following expressions:
Qi = (Vb*hi2*Wi) / (Wi*hi2)
Where, i is from 1 to n
n= number of storey in the building at which the mass is located
Qi= Design lateral force at each floor
hi= height of floor i measured from base
Wi= seismic weight of each floor

Structural Design
6.1. Introduction
It includes the manual calculations of the moment, shear force which determine the size,
reinforcement of different structural component. In case of slab, beam and mat foundation, we
have used moment coefficient method mentioned in IS 456:2000 and RCC gantry beam has been
designed as a simply supported beam. Corbel and staircase has been designed according to IS.
Design of column requires moment and for which we have to analyze the frame structure. The
moment has been taken from SAP 2000v 14 for the manual design of column calculation. As our
site is in the seismic prone zone, the detailing of component is based on IS 13920:1993(ductile
detailing). Roof truss load has been calculated based on the IS 875 part1, part2 and part 3. Truss
members and connection are designed using IS 800: 2007. These designs are based on Limit
State method.
6.2 Limit State Design:

Above design is based on Limit state method. The object of design based on limit state concept is
to achieve an acceptable probability that a structure will not become unserviceable in its lifetime
for which it is intended that is it will not intended limit state.
It consists of two parts
1) Limit state of collapse

2) Limit sate of serviceability
Limit state of collapse: The limit state of collapse of the structure or part of the structure could be
assessed from rupture of one or more critical section and from buckling due to elastic or plastic
instability (including the effects of sway where appropriate) or overturning. The resistance to
bending, shear, torsion and axial loads at every section shall not be less than the appropriate
value at that section produced by the probable most unfavourable combination of loads on the
structure using the appropriate partial safety factors.
Limit state of serviceability:

i) Deflection: The deflection of a structure or part thereof shall not adversely affect the
appropriate or efficiency of the structure or finishes or partitions.
ii) Cracking: Cracking of concrete should not adversely affect the appearance or durability of the
structure; the acceptance limits of cracking would vary with the type of structure and
environment.

6.3 Design of structural elements
We have designed the following structural elements in our project:
a) Design of Beam
b) Design of RCC gantry Beam
c) Design of Slab
d) Design of Column
e) Design of Corbel
f) Design of staircase
g) Design of mat foundations
h) Design of shear wall
i) Design of truss
6.3.1 Design of Beams

A reinforced concrete member should be able to resist the tensile, compressive and shear stresses
induced in it by the loads acting on the member. Concrete is fairly strong in compression but
very weak in tension. Plain concrete are thus limited in carrying capacity by the low tensile
strength. Steel is very strong in tension. Thus, the tensile strength of concrete is overcome by the
provision of the reinforcing steel in the tension zone round the concrete to make a reinforced
concrete member.
We have determined the moment and shear force in the beam through the coefficient method.
Condition for the coefficient method to use are unless more exact estimates are made, for beams
of uniform cross-section which support substantially uniformly distributed loads over three or
more spans which do not differ by more than 15 percent of the longest, the bending moments and
shear forces used in design may be obtained using coefficients given in Table 12 and Table 13
respectively of IS 456: 2000.

6.3.2 Design of Two-way Slabs
When slabs are supported on four sides, two-way spanning action occurs. Such slabs may be
simply supported or continuous on any or all sides. The deflection and bending moments in a
two-way slab are considerably reduced as compared to those in a one way slab. Thus, a thinner
slab can carry the same load when supported on all the four edges. In a square slab, the two-way
action is equal in each direction. In long narrow slabs, where the length is greater than twice the
breadth, the two-way action effectively reduces to one-way action in the direction of the short
span although the end beams do carry some slab loads.
Restrained slabs
A slab may have its few or all edges restrained. The degree of restrains may vary depending
whether it is continuous over its supports or cast monolithically with its supporting beams. A
hogging or negative bending moment will develop in the top face of the slab at the supported
sides. In these slabs the corners are prevented from lifting and provision is made for torsion. The
maximum moments Mx and My at midspan on strips of unit width for spans lx and ly are given
by:
Mx = xwlx2
My = ywlx2
Where, x and y = moment coefficients.
lx = length of shorter side
ly = length of longer side
Mx and My = maximum moments at midspan on strips of unit width and spans lx
and ly.
In table 26 of IS 456:2000 nine separate slab arrangements are given. Bending moment
coefficients given in this table were obtained by using the yield line theory.
The bending moments calculated from the coefficients are assumed to act in the middle strips of
the slab. In the edge strip the minimum quantity of main reinforcement is sufficient.

6.3.3 Design of Column
A column may be defined as an element used primarily to support axil compressive loads and
with a height of at least three times its lateral dimension. A compression member subjected to
pure axial load rarely occurs in practice. All columns are subjected to some moment which may
be due to accidental eccentricity or due to end restraint imposed by which may be due to
accidental eccentricity or due to end restraint imposed by monolithically placed beams or slabs.
The strength of column depends on the strength of materials, shape and size of the cross-section,
length and the degree of positional and directional restraints at the ends. A column may be
classified based on the different criteria such as:
a) Shape of cross-section,
b) Slenderness ratio,
c) Type of loading, and
d) Pattern of lateral reinforcement
A column may be rectangular, square, circle or polygon in cross-section. The code specifies
certain minimum reinforcement bars depending on its shape. A column may be classified as
short or long depending on its effective slenderness ratio. The ratio of effective column length to
least lateral dimension is referred as effective slenderness ratio. A short column has a maximum
slenderness ratio of 12. A long column has a slenderness ratio greater than 12. However,
maximum slenderness ratio of a column should not exceed 60.
A column may be classified as follows based on the type of loading:
a) Axially loaded column,
b) a column subjected to axial load and uni-axial bending, and
c) A column subjected to axil load and bi-axial bending
A reinforcement concrete column can be classified according to the manner in which the
longitudinal bars are laterally supported, that is,
a) Tied column, and
b) Spiral column

6.3.4 Corbels
A corbel is a short cantilever projection which supports a load bearing member. The distance
between the point of application of the load and the face or root of the corbel is less than the
effective depth of the root of the corbel. Moreover, depth at the outer edge of the corbel is not
less than one-half of the depth at the support of the corbel.
The ratio of the distance of the point of application of the load from the support a to the
effective depth of the member supporting the load is referred to as the a/d ratio or shear
span/depth ratio. When the ratio a/d is less than 2, the load is transferred to the support through
strut action rather than through flexure .this is similar to the truss action in a simple beam near
the support. Clause 28 gives design requirements for a corbel.
Figure 5: Corbel Dimension
Assumptions
1. A corbel is designed for the limit state of collapse.
2. The concrete and reinforcement in the corbel are designed on the basis of truss analogy,
that is, simple strut and tie system.
3. The resistance provided to the horizontal force should be greater than one-half of the
design vertical load on the corbel.
4. The compatibility of strains between the strut and tie should be satisfied at the root of the
corbel.
123
Truss Analogy

Detailing of Reinforcement
Figure 7: Corbel Detailing

1. The main tension reinforcement should not be less than 0.4 % of the cross sectional area
at the face of the supporting member.
2. The maximum tension reinforcement should not exceed 1.3 % of the cross sectional area
at the face of the supporting member.
3. The tension reinforcement should not be anchored at the front face of the corbel either by
welding it to a transverse bar of equal strength or, by bending back the bars to form
loops. In any case, the bearing area of the load should not project beyond the straight
portion of the bars forming the main tension reinforcement.
4. When the corbel is required to resist a horizontal force applied to the bearing plate,
because of shrinkage and temperature changes, additional tension reinforcement should
be provided to transmit this force in its entirely. This reinforcement should be welded to
the bearing plate and adequately anchored.
5. Theoretically compression reinforcement is not required. However, where the main
tension bars at the front face of the corbel are welded to a transverse bar, only nominal
compression steel to anchor the stirrups is provided as in fig
6. Shear reinforcement is provided in the form of horizontal stirrups distributed in the upper
two thirds of the effective depth of the corbel at the column face as shown in fig .
7. The area of shear reinforcement should be at least 50 % of the area of the main tension
reinforcement and should be adequately anchored.

6.3.5 Design of Staircase
Staircase is designed and built for the purpose of providing access to different levels within a
building. There different types of staircases like straight stairs, quarter-turn stairs, dog-legged
stairs, spiral stairs, helicoidal stairs, open-well stairs etc. But structurally, staircases may be
classified largely into two categories depending on the predominant direction in which the slab
component of the stair undergoes flexure:
Stair slab spanning transversely (stair widthwise).
Stair slab spanning longitudinally.
In our project we adopt open-well stair considering structural feasibility.
Following IS 456:2000 code; design of staircase is accomplished.

6.3.6 Design of Raft Foundation
If the loads transmitted by the columns in a structure are so heavy or the allowable soil pressure
so small that individual footings would either overlap or cover more than about one-half of the
area, it may be better to provide a continuous footing under all columns and walls. Such a
footing is called a raft or mat foundation. Raft foundations are also used to reduce the settlement
of structures located above highly compressible deposits. Since rafts are usually at some depth in
the ground, a large volume of excavation may be required. If weight of excavated soil is equal to
the weight of the structure and that of the raft, and the center of gravity of excavation and
structure coincide, settlement should be negligible. Where complete compensation is not
feasible, a shallower raft may be acceptable if the net increase in loads is small enough to lead to
tolerable settlement. A raft may be rectangular or circular and may be with or without an
opening.
Methods of analysis
The essential task in the analysis of raft foundation is the determination of the distribution of
contact pressure underneath the raft which is a complex function of the rigidity of the
superstructure, raft itself and the supporting soil. The following methods of analysis are
suggested which are distinguished by the assumptions involved.
Rigid foundation
Conventional method This method is based on the assumption of linear distribution of contact
pressure. The basic assumptions of this method are as follows:
The foundation is rigid relative to the supporting soil and the compressible soil layer is
relatively shallow
The contact pressure variation is assumed as planar such that the centroid of contact
pressure coincides with the line of action of the resultant force of all loads acting on the
foundation
Flexible foundation
Simplified method In this method, it is assumed that subgrade consists of an infinite array of
individual elastic springs each of which is not affected by others. The spring constant is equal to
the modulus of subgrade reaction (k). the contact pressure at any point under the raft is,
therefore, linearly proportional to the settlement at the point. This method may be used when the
following conditions are satisfied:
The structure combined action of superstructure and the raft may be considered as
flexible with a relative stiffness factor K is less than 0.5
Variation in adjacent column load does not exceed 20 percent of the higher value

Design of Raft foundation of Control Building
Reference Step Calculation Output
1. Known data:
Grade of concrete = M25
Grade of Steel = Fe500
Size of column = 500 mm 500 mm
Safe bearing capacity of soil q = 180 KN/m2

Total vertical load Q = 16486 KN
Area of footing A = 4.95 20.9 = 103.45 m2 total vertical load
Weight of footing = 10 % of Q = 18134.6 KN
= 1648.6 KN
Total weight on soil = 16486 + 1648.6 Arequired = 100.74
= 18134.6 KN m2
Actual area of footing required = 18134.6/180 Aprovided = 103.45

= 100.74 m2 < m2
103.45 m2
Hence ok.
137
2. Cantilever length from center line of column
From left column = 0.25 m
From right column = 0.25 m
From top column = 0.25 m
From bottom column = 0.25 m
3. Eccentricity along x-direction

Taking moment of column forces about the grid 1-1
x = 10.097 m
ex = 10.097 10.2 = -0.103 m
Eccentricity along y-direction

Taking moment of column forces about the grid A-A

ey = 2.225 2.225 = 0
20.9 4.95^3
Ix = = 211.24 m4

A = 103.455 m2
Mxx = P.ey = 0.00 KNm
Myy = P.ex = -1703.40 KNm
P/A = 159.35 KN/m2
4.
Soil pressure at different points is as follows:

= .x .y

Corner A-1
A -1 = 163.97 KN/m2
138
Corner A-2
A -2 = 161.66 KN/m2
Corner A-3
A -3 = 159.35 KN/m2
Corner A-4
A -4 = 157.04 KN/m2
Corner A-5
A -5 = 154.74 KN/m2
Columns in grid A-A and B-B are similar from

geometrical dimension and loading point of view
Corner B-1
B -1 = 163.97 KN/m2
Corner B-2
B -2 = 161.66 KN/m2
Corner B-3
B -3 = 159.35 KN/m2
Corner B-4
B -4 = 157.04 KN/m2
Corner A-5
B -5 = 154.74 KN/m2
5. Maximum soil pressure = 163.97 KN/m2 <180KN/m2

Hence ok.
139
6. In the x-direction the raft is divided into two strips
(i) Strip A-A
Width = 2.475 m

Cantilever Moment along X-direction

Span = 0.00 m
2
Maximum 0.0

moment 2
= 0.00 KNm/m
140
Therefore,
Maximum Factored Bending Moment = 426.4 KNm/m
Limiting Moment of Resistance = 0.133 ck bd2
Therefore depth required d = 360mm
7. Check for Punching Shear :
Let depth required = 670mm

Shear Strength of Concrete = ks c
Where ks = 1 + c
Short dimension of column
c = = 1
Long dimension of column
Therefore ks = 1

c = 0.25 ck N/mm2
= 1.25 N/mm2
Hence,
Shear Strength of Concrete = 1.25 N/mm2
For Corner Column

Perimeter bo = 835 + 835 + 0 + 0
= 1670 mm
Vu 1363000
Nominal Shear Stress v = =
bod 1118900
= 1.22 N/mm2
For Side Column
m
Perimeter bo = 4010 m
Vu 1877000
Nominal Shear Stress v = =
bod 2686700
= 0.70 N/mm2
141
Hence Effective depth is O.K.
Therefore effective depth
required = 670 mm
Adopt effective
depth = 670 mm
Overall
depth = 710 mm
8. Development length
0.87
Development length =
4
Where bd = 1.6 1.4 = 2.24

Therefore Ld = 49
For 20mm bar ( along x-direction)

Ld = 980 mm
For 20 mm bar ( along y-direction)

Ld = 980 mm
9. Reinforcement in long direction
M = 0.87 y Ast (d - yAst/ckb)
4.26 108 = 0.87500 Ast (670-500 Ast/251000)

Solving
Ast = 1534 mm2/m
Minimum reinforcement required = 0.12%

= 852 mm2/m
Therefore area of steel required = 1534 mm 2/m
Provide 20mm dia bar @ 200mm c/c in long direction

( At top and bottom)
142
Reinforcement in short direction
M = 0.87 y Ast (d - yAst/ckb)
4.06 108 = 0.87500 Ast (670-500 Ast/251000)

Solving
Ast = 1456 mm2/m
Minimum reinforcement required = 0.12%

= 852 mm2/m
Therefore area of steel required = 1456 mm 2/m
Provide 20mm dia bar @ 220mm c/c in long direction

Design Summary
Overall depth of footing = 710 mm
Size of footing = 4.95 m 20.9 m
Main reinforcement in long direction = 20mm dia bar @ 200mm c/c in long direction

6.3.7 Shear or Flexural walls
Reinforced concrete walls in buildings are required to carry vertical loads, lateral loads as
well as bending moments in the plane of the walls. The lateral loads due to wind or
earthquake may be acting normal to the width or thickness of the wall. If the lateral loads are
acting normal to the smaller dimension of the wall in plan, it is referred to as a shear wall .
The term shear wall is a misnomer. It resists major portion of the lateral shear in buildings
through flexure deformations and not through shear deformations. Thus flexure wall is a
correct term. A wall may be added solely to resist lateral forces or concrete walls enclosing
staircases or elevator shafts may serve the same purpose.
The reinforcement and check of the shear wall is designed accordance with clause 9 of IS
13920.
Factored Axial force = 654.07kN (from SAP 2000)

Factored Bending Moment = 48.5 kNm
Length of wall = 5.1m
Thickness of wall = 180 mm ( Trial thickness)
fck = 25 N/mm2
Minimum amount of reinforcement require for each direction horizontal and vertical= 0.25%

148
The reinforcement provided
Ast = 0.0025*t w*lw = 2295mm2
Provide 10mm bar at spacing of 170mm c/c in both horizontal and vertical directions.
Check for spacing according to IS 13920 clause 9.1.7
170< lw/5 = 5100/5 = 1020mm hence OK
170<3*tw = 3*180 = 360mm hence OK
Design for Shear

Shear force from lateral loading = 211.526kN
Shear force from earth pressure = 343kN
Total factored shear force for design = 554.52kN
The nominal shear stress

Where,
Vu = factored shear force,
tw = thickness of the web, and
dw = effective depth of wall section. This may by taken as 0.8 l w for rectangular sections
v = 0.755 N/mm2
c = 0.36 N/mm2 from table 19 IS 456:2000
Here c < v
fyAhdw
Vus = 0.87 Sv
Adopt 10mm dia. Bar

So Ah = 77.5mm2
Where Vus = ( Vu ctw dw ),
149

Provide additional 10 dia bar at spacing of 489 mm

Hence
Provide 10mm bar at spacing of 170mm c/c (spacing in horizontal) in vertical directions
and 120 mm c/c in horizontal direction ( spacing in vertical)

6.3.8 Truss Design
Introduction
A truss is a structure comprising one or more triangular units constructed with straight slender
members whose ends are connected at joints referred to as nodes.
External forces and reactions to those forces are considered to act only at the nodes and
result in forces in the members which are either tensile or compressive forces.
Moments (torsional forces) are explicitly excluded because, and only because, all the joints
in a truss are treated as revolute.
Different types of wooden and steel roof trusses
1. King Post Truss

2. Queen Post Truss
3. Howe Truss
4. Pratt Truss
5. Fink Truss
6. Fan Truss
7. North Light Roof Truss
8. Quadrangular Roof Truss
Trusses for large span construction
Tubular steel roof truss
Tubular monitor steel roof truss
1. King post truss
King Post Truss is a wooden truss.
It can also be built of combination of wood and steel.
It can be used for spans upto 8m.
2. Queen post truss

Queen Post Truss is also a wooden truss.
It can be used for spans up to 10m.
3. Howe truss
It is made of combination of wood and steel.
The vertical members or tension members are made of steel.
It can be used for spans from 6-30m.
151
4. Pratt truss
Pratt Truss is made of steel.
These are less economical than the Fink Trusses.
Vertical members are tension and diagonal members are compression.
Fink Trusses are very economical form of roof trusses.
5. Fan truss
It is made of steel.
Fan trusses are form of Fink roof truss.
In Fan Trusses, top chords are divided into small lengths in order to provide
supports for purlins which would not come at joints in Fink trusses.
6. North light roof truss

When the floor span exceeds 15m, it is generally more economical to change
from a simple truss arrangement to one employing wide span lattice girders which
support trusses at right angles.
In order to light up the space satisfactorily, roof lighting has to replace or
supplement, side lighting provision must also be made for ventilation form the
roof.
One of the oldest and economical methods of covering large areas is the North
Light and Lattice girder.
This roof consists of a series of trusses fixed to girders. The short vertical side of
the truss is glazed so that when the roof is used in the Northern Hemisphere, the
glazed portion faces North for the best light.
152
Used for industrial buildings, drawing rooms etc.
7. Quadrangular roof trusses

These trusses are used for large spans such as railway sheds and Auditoriums.
8. Large span trusses
Different Terms and Terminologies in Truss

a) Bottom chord: The bottom members of a truss
b) Bottom chord splice: If the bottom chord is too long for two bottom chords, the middle
bottom chord is referred to as the splice.
c) Butt cut: A small 90 degree cut at the end of a truss usually 1/4 .
d) Heel height: The thickness of a truss at the end of the bottom chord. Measured from the
bottom of the bottom chord to the top of the top chord at the end of truss.
e) Overall height: A vertical measurement taken at the midpoint of a truss from the bottom
of the bottom chord to the peak.
f) Overhang: The horizontal distance measured from the end of the bottom chord (butt cut)
to the end of the tail, not including the fascia. If the wall is cantilevered the measurement
is from the outside of the wall to the end of the tail.
g) Ties: Tension carrying members are called ties.
h) Struts: Compression members are called struts.
i) Span of truss: The distance between the supporting end joints of a truss is called its span.
j) Rise: The rise of a truss is the vertical distance between apex and the line joining the
supports.
153
k) Pitch: The ratio of the rise to the span is called pitch.
l) Panel: The portion of the truss lying between the two consecutives joints of the upper
chord is called a panel.
m) Bay: The portion of the roof contained between successive trusses is called bay.
n) Purlin: The member spanning from truss to truss which is meant to carry the load of the
roofing material and to transfer it to the panel joints is called purlin.
Loads on the Trusses

1) Dead loads
The dead loads of the truss include the dead load of roofing materials, purlins,
trusses and bracing systems. The unit weight of various materials are given in IS
875-part I.
G.I sheets= 85 N/m2
A.C sheets= 130 N/m2
Roof covering weight including laps, connector etc.
G.I sheeting= 100-150 N/m2
A.C sheeting= 170-200 N/m2
Weight of purlin= 100-120 N/m2 of plan area.
5 to 10 kN is added for electric fixtures, fans.
W= 20+6.6L N/m2 for a live load of 2 kN/m2
If the live load is more, the above value is to be increased by LL/2.
W= 10*{(L/3)+5}*(s/4)
Where s= spacing of trusses.
2) Imposed load
Up to 10 degree slope= 0.75 kN/m2
For more than 10 degree slope= 0.75-0.02*(-10)
3) Wind loads
Basic wind speed (Vb): Up to 3000 m, the value of basic wind speed is 47 m/s and
beyond that it is taken 55 m/s.
Design wind speed (Vz): The basic wind speed is modified to include the
following effects to get design wind velocity at any height (Vz) for the chosen
structure:
Risk level;
Terrain roughness, height and size of structure; and
Local topography.
It can be mathematically expressed as follows:
Vz= Vb*k1*k2*k3
Where k1= design wind speed at any height z in m/s.
K2= probability factor (risk coefficient)
K3= topography factor.
Design wind pressure (pz)= 0.6*Vz2
154
Wind load on individual members
F= (Cpe Cpi)*A*pz
Where
Cpe= external pressure coefficient
Cpi = internal pressure coefficient
A= surface area of structural elements or cladding unit, and
Pz= design wind pressure
Load Combination
Various combination of the loads on roof trusses are considered, and the critical condition
is considered for the design. It may be noted that earthquake loads are not significant for
roof trusses because of the small self weight. The following load combinations may be
worked out:
i. Dead load + snow load
ii. Dead load + partial or full live load
iii. Dead load + wind load + internal positive air pressure
iv. Dead load + wind load + internal suction air pressure
v. Dead load + live load + wind load

Structural Analysis
7.1 Salient features of sap 2000

For the structural analysis of the power house and control room SAP V14 has been use.
The SAP name has been synonymous with state-of-the-art analytical methods since its
introduction over 30 years ago. SAP2000 follows in the same tradition featuring a very
sophisticated, intuitive and versatile user interface powered by an unmatched analysis engine and
design tools for engineers working on transportation, industrial, public works, sports, and other
facilities.
From its 3D object based graphical modeling environment to the wide variety of analysis and
design options completely integrated across one powerful user interface, SAP2000 has proven to
be the most integrated, productive and practical general purpose structural program on the
market today. This intuitive interface allows you to create structural models rapidly and
intuitively without long learning curve delays. Now you can harness the power of SAP2000 for
all of your analysis and design tasks, including small day-to-day problems.
Complex Models can be generated and meshed with powerful built in templates. Integrated
design code features can automatically generate wind, wave, bridge, and seismic loads with
comprehensive automatic steel and concrete design code checks per US, Canadian and
international design standards.
Advanced analytical techniques allow for step-by-step large deformation analysis, Eigen and
Ritz analyses based on stiffness of nonlinear cases, catenary cable analysis, material nonlinear
analysis with fiber hinges, multi-layered nonlinear shell element, buckling analysis, progressive
collapse analysis, energy methods for drift control, velocity-dependent dampers, base isolators,
support plasticity and nonlinear segmental construction analysis. Nonlinear analyses can be static
and/or time history, with options for FNA nonlinear time history dynamic analysis and direct
integration.
From a simple small 2D static frame analysis to a large complex 3D nonlinear dynamic analysis,
SAP2000 is the easiest, most productive solution for your structural analysis and design needs. In
Structural analysis of the power house we use IS 1893:2002 for the seismic Considerations.

Envelope is formed using this 14 load combinations. The function of envelope is to show the
maximum value among above load combinations
Restraint the base joint
The base of the column are restrained
Diaphragm the joints
The diaphragm constraints are defined to the joints at slab level so that all these joints move
together with the slab in the same direction.
For each floor diaphragm are formed except at the position where columns are restrained.
Meshing the area
Meshing of the area is done to transfer the slab load uniformly to the beam so that slab and beam
deflect in a same pattern.

Cost Estimation
8.1 Introduction
Before undertaking the construction of the project, it is necessary to know tis probable cost
which is worked out by estimating. An estimate is a computation or calculation of quantities
required and expenditure likely to be incurred in the construction of the work. The primary
object of the estimate is to enable one to know beforehand, the cost of the work. The estimate is
the probable cost of a work and determined theoretically by mathematical calculations based on
the plans and drawing and current rates.
For all engineering works it is required to know beforehand the probable cost of construction
known as the estimated cost. If the estimated cost is greater than money available, then attempts
are made to reduce the cost by reducing the work or by changing the specifications. From this the
importance of estimate to engineers is known. In preparing an estimate, the quantities of different
items of work are calculated by simple measurement method and from these quantities of
different items of work are calculated. The subject of estimating is simple, nothing much to
understand, but knowledge of drawing is essential.
Accuracy in estimate is very important, if estimate is exceeded it becomes a very difficult
problem for engineers to explain, to account for and arrange for the additional money.
Inaccuracy in preparing estimate, omission of items, changes in design, improper rates, etc. are
the reasons for exceeding the estimate, through increase in rates is one of the main reason. So,
one has to take care of these things while preparing an estimate.
8.2 Detailed estimate

Preparation of detailed estimate consists of working out the quantities of different items of work
and then working out the cost i.e. the estimate is prepared in two stages:
i) Details of measurement and calculation of quantities
ii) Abstract of estimated cost
Detailed estimate method has been used as the method for estimating the quantities.

Rate analysis
9.1 Introduction
The determination of rate per unit of particular item of work, from the cost of quantities of
materials, the cost of laborers and other miscellaneous petty expenses require for its completion
is known as the analysis of rate. Rates of materials are usually taken as the rates delivered at the
site of work and include the first cost (cost at origin), cost of transport, taxes etc.
For the purpose of analysis, the details about all the operations involved in carrying out the work
should be available, the quantities of materials required and their costs should be known and the
number of different categories of laborers required and the capacity of doing work per labourer
and their wages per day should be known.

Conclusion
The project entitled Design of Continuous Flushing Settling Basin and Powerhouse has been
completed. A thorough knowledge on the application of load and moment in the structural frame
of any building has been gained. The reinforcement and dimensioning obtained from software
and by manual calculation is different from one another so appropriate result has been taken
consider
ing their strength, stability and economy. The reinforcement of major components of powerhouse
has been taken from SAP 2000 as its result is found to be more accurate and reliable. The HSRS
system is found to be economical to operate for months of higher discharge and for high head
HEP. We were well trained with the use of different software like AutoCAD, SAP 2000. The
analysis, design and detailing has been done according to IS 456:2000, IS 13920:1993, IS 875
(part I, part 2, part 3):1987, IS 1893 (part 1):2002 and seismic coefficient method is used for
lateral load. Project was only limited with the practical applications of the studied course
throughout our bachelors degree.
The structural analysis of the building using SAP 2000 has been done. The earthquake
requirements have been fulfilled. The building was within deflection limit. Thus the powerhouse
was considered safe in all aspects of structural integrity.
