DESIGN OF HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES

P/D

Cr

Module I
Dams-Gravity dams, arch dams, buttress dam, forces acting on dam-theoretical and practical profiles of gravity
dam-low dam, high dam-stability of dam-stress in elementary profile of gravity dam. Function of shafts,
galleries, keys and water seal.
Arch dams-types, forces acting-design methods (Thin cylinder theory only)-Earth dam-Types-criteria for safe
design-causes of failure. Spillways-Different types (Design not necessary).
Module II
Diversion head works, layout, functions of components-cause of failure of weirs on permeable soils- Blighs
theory-design of vertical weir-Khoslas theory of independent variables-use of Khoslas charts and Blench
curves.
Cross drainage works-different types-Canal falls-classification (brief description only).
Module III
Design and drawing emphasizing the hydraulic aspects of the following structures:
1. Aqueduct 2.Syphon aqueduct 3.Canal Syphon 4.Notch type canal fall 5.Sarda type fall 6.Canal regulators
(Khoslas theory)

Question paper:Duration: 4 hrs
The question paper consists of Part A , Part B and Part C
Part A(Compulsory) is for 20 marks(4x5) covering the entire syllabus
Part B is for 20 marks covering modules I and II. There will be 2 questions from each module. The candidate
has to answer one question of 10 marks from each module
Part C is for 60 marks covering module III. Candidate has to answer one out of two questions from this part.
The question consists of design and drawing parts.
In the drawing part maximum of two views only be asked.
Khoslas charts and Blench curves are permitted.
Note: No other charts, tables, codes are permitted in the Examination hall .If necessary the same shall be given
along with the question paper by the question paper setter.
