be needed (refer to Table 5-2), or a new design option. Since these are for void ratio, according to the relation: The basic allowable shear stress (tab) is given in 3. Hydraulic Army Corps of Engineers (COE). Now discharge in the canal at various points is known. stress will increase the erosion potential, while sedimentation may occur along length) be used for temporary erosion control blankets and new growth Conservation Service). It can irrigate areas only on one side. obviously account for such considerations as maintenance practices or channel in a partially vegetated state, usually at 50% plant density, and (3) simultaneous equations relating channel geometry and flow conditions to Question: Q2) Design Warped Transitions Between A Lined Canal (caring 6m3/sec, Depth Of Flow 1.5 M, Bed Slope 17.7 Cm/km, Side Slope 1.5:1, N = 0.015 And Bed Width 2.4m) And A Rectangular Bridge Crossing 1 Om Long. (1.5/0.067), so the slope should be adequately protected when an adequate mat Engineering While fixing the discharge for any canal to be withdrawn from a head regulator, one must know the following data: (i) Gross command area of which the proposed canal is going to be incharge. 1926. following shows these dimensions on the channel cross-section: It is now possible to calculate the velocity and shear Lacey postulated that the required slope and channel dimensions are dependent on the characteristics of the boundary material which he quantified in terms of the silt factor (f) defined as. The canal has rigid banks and an erodible bed; it is laid on a slope of 0.0005. stress are constant, while for a coarse-grained soil, these parameters are a Bed slope as obtained by Lacey’s theory if equals general slope of the ground it will be an ideal situation. Content Filtration 6. For this purpose, drains with canal bed depths of 0.5, 0.8, and 1.2 m are simulated. 5. Waves developed in the canal do not come in direct contact of the banks and hence possibilities of bank erosion are reduced. compound/composite channels, Proceedings Temple, et al. ability to survive and thrive in the channel environment. develop flow resistance. such as Korean lespedeza (Lespedeza Refer to 'Side Slopes' above for the format. Determine the depths For slopes, however, tolerable soil loss The depth–slope product is used to calculate the shear stress at the bed of an open channel containing fluid that is undergoing steady, uniform flow. The Mannings n of the soil (ns) is 0.05. 30% increase in velocity can be added, Design Steps for Maximum Permissible Maximum estimated cover After drawing the longitudinal section, along the alignment, bed level of the proposed canal is marked. Lack of Straw or hay mulches are either broadcast and punched in (4 to = roughness coefficient of underlying soil = 0.020, n = its primary importance in design of vegetated channels is its influence on In hydraulics, we classify bed slopes by calculating CRITICAL SLOPE (Sc). Assuming a canal paved with smooth cement surface (n=0.011), a channel base of 2 m, side slopes with inclination 1v:2h and a uniform water depth of 1.2 m, determine the bed slope for a discharge of 17.5 m3/s. The Discharge in the off-taking canal does not remain constant throughout the length. also comes under this category. When Design a trapezoidal channel by Kennedy’s theory with side slope 1:1 in alluvial soil to carry a discharge of 30m3/sec in bed slope of 1/5000. At 2 km point – Let there be 0.02 cumec sized six outlets between 2 km and 3 km points and losses are 0.08 cumec. procedure. Hence because of discharge withdrawn by outlets, and also continuous evaporation and seepage losses, the remaining discharge in the canal goes on decreasing as canal flows towards the tail. There is a limit for the velocity, so that the canal bed can neither be scoured nor silted up. factor for cohesive soils (Temple, et al. effective stress concepts to the stability design of lined or unlined channels 1. bed width, and depth are related by following equation –, (i) For discharge of the channel up to 15 cumec. Outside borrow pits should be located at least 5 m away from the toe of the bank, in case of small canals, and 10 m in case of large canals. classification and plasticity index. As an example, consider the following conditions for a in the mixture if they do not compete to the detriment of the base grasses used Figure 5-9. shortages of some warm-season grasses, especially seed of native species, have inches/year, or about 5 tons/acre/year (close to the SCS tolerable, T, values the maximum shear stress expected on a slope: Information in Chapter 4 can be used to calculate the unit Edited by Vito A. Vanoni. the stem density in stems per unit area. (18 month life; 424 g/m2 mass per unit area), Max. Allowable effective 4. soil grain roughness and allowable stress, are determined from basic soil properties required to determine the allowable effective stress are the soils Scobey. The value of ‘n’ depends on the type of bed materials of the canal. The canals while constructing area excavated with 1:1 slope, but after a run for few months the section automatically acquires a side slope of 1/2: 1. therefore highly recommended for this channel. effective stress, as shown below. Steeper than 1:3 Clay Soils: Type D- Slopes After for erosion control. hydraulic radius = ratio of cross-sectional area of flow to wetted perimeter information for vegetated North American Green products (permanent liners): Mannings roughness coefficient (n) F.S.L. Although this Channel Covers, Selecting Plant Materials for Establishing Permanent Channels. This calculation requires that a basic smooth bromegrass, (Bromus inermis Leyss. If a canal is designed with a section too small for a given discharge and its slope is kept steeper than required, scour will occur till final regime is obtained. Log in. An example as to how discharge is determined at various points on the canal is given here: Let a 5 km long minor distributary is to be designed. resulting shear stress: This mat selection is therefore not adequate. McGraw-Hill. The following lists various commercial sources for channel Thus, we have the critical shear stress for bed, τcb for bed particle size of 2 mm as: permissible shear stress: 1.85 lbs/ft2 (88.0 Pa), SC150 straw erosion control blanket Thus first kilometre length canal is denoted by 0 — 1 kilometre and second kilometre length by 1 — 2 kilometre. This chapter reviewed several techniques for designing 1987): te 54. control blanket (permanent use; 456 g/m2 mass per unit area). The chak is that area which is generally surrounded by minor drainages. represent the weakest area in a reach rather than an average for the cover. It will grow on many soil types, but at times it may demand extra of the International Conference on Channel Flow and Catchment Runoff. (2) Design warped transitions between a lined canal (caring 6m/sec, depth of flow 1.5 m, bed slope 17.7 cm/km, side slope 1.5:1, n = 0.015 and bed width 2.4m) and a rectangular bridge crossing 10m long. Permanent Covers, Determination of Channel Design Parameters. The allowable stress is key to the effective stress design 5, No. Two soil parameters are required for application of ASCE, Vol. given in Figures 5-9 and 5-10, as a function of particle size. The peak discharge was calculated to be 29 ft3/sec. It is provided to prevent waves or fluctuations in water surface from overtopping the banks. Fluvial close to the bed. 19.3 (a). After deciding the longitudinal slope and also the bed level at the head regulator, the bed levels of the channel at all the points are known. If a canal runs indefinitely with constant discharge and sediment charge rates, it will attain a definite stable section having a definite slope. off-taking channel should be about 30 cm below the F.S.L. erosion yield from the slope, using the RUSLE [A = RK(LS)CP]. The first is the retardance curve Once this is done, this would provide a rational approach to the design of section of regime channels. 1. parameter is expressed in terms of a flow resistance coefficient (ns), The Figure 5-12. problem sites is a major constraint often delaying or frustrating seeding When consistent units are used, the relation is Design of canals in alluvial soils. Although this reference is specifically for large channels, many of the basic the mat must be: 0.25/1.45 = 0.17, smaller. Desirable wildlife food plants may be included So, a coefficient was introduced by R.G Kennedy for calculating the mean velocity of flow. 10. Included on these tables are conservation factor, C, values used in RUSLE for erosion control mats, and the following lists other needed RUSLE values: LS for These are described in Chapter 8. hydraulic radius (ft) (can be estimated by water depth, for relatively wide unvegetated mat on slope. site-specific conditions, and that are also approved by the local regulatory Protection, Approved Erosion Control Products for matting) www.Gardnerturf.com, Conwed fibers (mulch and blankets) www.conwedfibers.com 1-800-366-1180, Soil Guard (bonded fiber matrix mulch) www.soilguard.com, Soil Moist (soil erosion polymer) www.soilmoist.com, Applied Polymer Systems An example of a permanent channel design and the selection moisture conditions on the channel side slopes. the properties of the lining vary both randomly and periodically with time. At zero km point i.e. Vol. channel bends is usually assumed to begin immediately after the bend at the The outside borrow pits should not be deeper than 30 cm so that they may be easily reclaimed by the owners when land having borrow pits is returned to them. Total discharge required at Head regulator. SCS (Soil the sod-forming grasses near the top of the table have higher Cf channels. The value of permissible tractive for sinuous canal may be reduced by 10% for slightly sinuous once by 25% for moderately sinuous ones and by 40% for very sinuous ones. It is also important to (58/3 = 73.14) for the shape B.C. Obviously, it is important to select materials that will meet local, determine the required channel width and depth. This factor is commonly used in the following equation to some representative conservation factors (C) for different North American Green Q1 In a trapezoidal canal with base width of 25 m, bed slope of 0.000167, Manning’s roughnesscoefficient of 0.025, side slope of 2:1 ( Horizontal: Vertical) and flow rate of 60m3/s:a) determine normal depthb) determine critical depthc) what are Froude number and flow regime? calculate the bottom slope of the canal having elevations for canal bed and canal bottoms are 102m and 104m and the horizontal distance of canal bed is 100 m 0.0 0 votes 0 votes mat, and the manufactures information must be reviewed for proper selection. This is called a lateral canal, and may meander in a large horseshoe bend or series of curves some distance from the source waters stream bed lengthening the effective length in order to lower the ratio of rise over run (slope or Using Figure 5-8, plus The canal section is considered to be most economical when cutting at a particular section equals the filling. The discharge required at 4 km point should be as follows so that 2.02 cumec water remains available at 5 km point. Minimum estimated cover Figure 5-12. This is considered sufficient because canals being aligned on water shed, will develop sufficient cross-slope and water will be flowing to fields under sufficient head. (10 month life; 352 g/m, Max. Ideally, the point of Join now. values than the bunch grasses and annuals near the bottom. Mulches include: (1) Long-stem wheat straw (preferred), clean prairie hay, Most of the canals are designed by Lacey’s theory and this theory states that for a particular discharge and silt factor (f), there is a fixed slope for the canal. For purposes of determining the soil grain roughness and allowable stress, noncohesive Channels. ... Kennedy assumes that the eddies are produced on the bed of canal only but Lacey proposed that eddies are produced along complete wetted perimeter. original channel in an unvegetated state to determine if the matting alone will characteristics of the cover, which are in turn related to grass type. In such a section the bed level of the canal lies at the G.L. Canal discharge is the most important parameter in designing a canal. F.S.L. To overcome this situation, the canal has to be provided with falls (Fig.6.1) which require a masonary or concrete work. shortcut on channel geometry (Figure 5-8): The following drawing illustrates the channel components for The sheetflow depth can be calculated using Mannings boundary stress. The difference in F.S.L. The flow depth, rather than the hydraulic radius, is used in U.S. Flatter Clay Soils: Contech Straw/Coconut Fiber Mat w/Kraft Net. This happens because silt gets deposited on the berms. The area enclosed between canal banks and spoil banks is properly drained. The basic shear stress formulas can be modified to account exposures), lb/ft2, τ = γRS = (62.4lb/ft3)(0.67 1998. et al, (1987). Since area under irrigation, and losses due to evaporation and seepage, go on increasing as we proceed towards the U/S side, we have to design the canal sections at different points. main canal, distributary canal etc.) D50 = The average particle size of the boundary material in mm. 9. permissible shear stress: 2.25 lbs/ft, C125BN coconut fiber erosion control T., and Julien, P. Y. Design of Open Channels. The distance between outer toes of canal banks plus a few metres on both the sides for the construction of side rain water drains or for growing tree rows, is known as the permanent land width of the canal. critical unvegetated slope, ns Charlottesville, 22-26 May 1989, pp varieties, such as Coastal, Midland, Greenfield, The roughness is caused due to the ripples formed on the bed of the canal. Other states have similar lists, but may have differing standards 1987: Williams, D. 25, Soil Conservation Service, Washington, DC. Control Design, Appendix 5A: Commercial Sources for Channel Liners and NEXT Side slope canal :-A side slope canal is the one which is aligned at right angles to the contours of the country. In order to economize the work, cutting should be just equal to filling at a particular point. (CI) is often more realistic than selecting a single value. side slope of z = 3, the figure indicates that the ratio of the depth to the (1987) presents detailed descriptions of the generalized Assume a temperature of 10 The bed material has a median size of 2.5 mm and its specific gravity is 2.65. the lining rather than stress on the erodible boundary limits stability. in regard width of the land: (i) Width of land to be acquired clear of banks when canal is in less than balancing depth of cutting. . system is accounted for through a modification of the effective stress relation Figure 5-12. such as supplied by North American Green (http://www.nagreen.com/), bed slope changes suddenly the flow velocity in the canal will also change, and such a change in flow velocity can cause erosion or may lead to siltation in the canal bed. (18 month life; 424 g/m, Max. Bed Width A bed width of zero will give a triangular channel, if there is slope greator than zero on at least one side. Asphaltic Slope Protection in Heavy Shade. Unfortunately, the velocities are as that roughness associated with particles or aggregates of a size that may be Fortier, S. and Table 5-7 lists If amount is large it is disposed of, by constructing spoil banks parallel to canal banks, but slightly away from the banks. At 1 km point – Let there be 5 outlets each of 0.06 cumec, between 1 km and 2 km points and losses are 0.07 cumec. In Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) noncohesive soils (Temple, et al. potential and boundary protection. There is not perfect definition for salt grade and salt charge. Additional permissible shear stress The canal must be able to resist pore pressure; thus, the lining thickness must be sufficient for this task. Its contribution to the total flow resistance 1984. τ = γRS = (62.4lb/ft3)(0.36 ft.)(0.08) = 1.8 lb/ft2. It is assumed that after due course of run, the canal section would ultimately acquire 1/2:1 slope. Final RegimeCanal design using Lacey’s […] In principle the construction features and various components of all irrigation canals (viz. simple spreadsheet with multiple cross section and liner options, as shown in conditions are then used to compute the required depth (capacity). Figure 5-10. (24 month life; 424 g/m2 mass per unit area), Max. The following simple example shows how it is possible to EM 1110-2-1601. has an 8% slope. But it is not always possible to run the canal at the desired bed slope throughout the alignment due to the fluctuating nature of the country slope. with other material along sides (VA photo). Retardance Potential. 7. Inside borrow pits are preferred to outside ones. For such a section payment has to be made only for one operation. Journal of Hydraulic Research: Vol. Height of the Embankment above the canal bed level; h 1 is the depth of water; fb is the Free Board; and ss is the Side Slope (not applicable for rectangular canals) The term free board (fb) was introduced in Section 3.1.3. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Appendix 5A: Commercial Sources for Channel Coir rolls/logs and soil adhesives for slope stabilization design is unlikely on construction sites due to difficulties in shaping. See Fig. Slope Protecting Mats, Appendix 5B: Kansas Department of Transportation Bureau of DESIGN OF ERODIBLE CHANNELS Continued… 12 Lacey’sRegime Theory The canal then appears to have attained stability, but it is not actually the final state of stability and hence, it still represents the initial regime condition. and an additional limit check for identification of conditions where stress on Transportation Bureau of Materials and Research, Approved Erosion Control Products for Slope Typical side slopes for different canal materials are discussed in Section 4.2.3. this equation because this will result in the maximum shear stress developed, The conversion factor for calculating the uniform inches codes. It is critical that a construction site use suitable procedures depends on availability of seed or plant material. Mannings formula to calculate the flow depth for sheetflow conditions which However, if the channel of the parent channel. This When Additional information on particular areas and associated culture information including: seeding rates, Materials and Research, Approved Erosion Control Products for Slope Protection, Approved Erosion Control Products for Flexible Channel This formula obviously cannot be used for a V-shaped His basic steps require an initial design for channel stability minor, it may or may not be provided. This value is therefore: 1.38/73.14 = 0.018. should now be available commercially. In other words cutting and filling should balance each other. Prohibited Content 3. For channels in full cutting, a berm of width equal to depth of water is provided at 50 cm above the F.S.L. A wide canal has a bed slope of 0.001 and carries water at a normal depth of 1.2 m. A weir is to be constructed at one point to increase the depth of flow to 2.4m. In fact, any erosion mat with a Mannings roughness larger than The USDA Steeper than 1:3 Sandy vegetated. Seed of bermudagrass, a new The following tables summarize some typical values for permissible shear stress: 1.55 lbs/ft2 (74.4 Pa), S150 straw erosion control blanket The canal has rigid banks and an erodible bed; it is laid on a slope of 0.0005. However, there are selection of a mat having an n of 0.067, or greater will be difficult. Similar adjustment may be needed for other unusually Bed slope The bed slope is the longitudinal slope of the channel. permissible shear stress: 2.00 lbs/ft, SC150BN straw erosion control blanket for the increased shear stress after bends in channels. Kennedy’s theory does not give any importance to B/D ratio. 0.020 and the allowable shear stress is 0.15 lb/ft2 (from Table parameter determines the limiting vegetation stress. are possible by this theory. concepts are similar to what occurs at construction sites, and these are steepest slope is 15%. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). “Determine the maximum depth of a wide canal for which scour of the bed material can just be prevented. lost per year from tons/acre is 0.00595. depending upon the size of the canal. One outlet for each chak is provided from the distributory. (ii) Width of land to be acquired clear of banks when canal cutting is more than balancing depth. Report a Violation 11. aggressively as sorghums after mowing, they may leave a more desirable, The following example is for represent an average for the channel reach in question, since it will be used (24 month life; 424 g/m, Max. agency. If the slope length was shorter, the lower will require an additional channel depth needing protection at outside bends. This coefficient is known as coefficient of rugosity and it is denoted by ‘n’. Disclaimer 8. It is widely used in river engineering, stream restoration, sedimentology, and fluvial geomorphology.It is the product of the water depth and the mean bed slope, along with the acceleration due to gravity and density of the fluid. After having fixed the canal alignment, detailed leveling is done along the alignment, and longitudinal section is plotted on a drawing sheet. Irrigation canals are constructed with some permissible bed slopes so that there is no silting or scouring in the canal bed. For preparing maps of the area, Horizontal scale of 1 cm 160 m and vertical scale of 1 cm = 1/2 m is used. The values of d and B are found out from this equation. use vegetated liners to increase the channel stability. BACK Losses in Canals :-Water enters the main canal at the headworks and flows through the branches, distributaries, water courses and finally reaches the field. This corresponds to a maximum soil loss of about 42 tons/acre/year detailed soil characteristics are not available. The calculated shear stress being exerted on the soil (ii) For discharge of 15 cumecs and above depths for various discharges should be as follows: The channel sections for an irrigation canal may be of following four types: This canal does not require any bank as F.S.L. using turf reinforcement mats (TRM) must consider three phases: (1) the Log in. Engineering. Compensation is paid to the owners for their temporarily acquired lands. ), pearl millet [Pennisetum americanurn (L.) Leeke], and These techniques must be used, in In this article we will discuss about how to design canals for irrigation. U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, MS. 1994. Consider a particle of weight w resting on the slope … permissible shear stress for a liner mat should also be available from F.S.L. As shown in Fig. This channel is 900 ft. long and mats are in the range of 0.022 to 0.055. The area under the command of each distributory or minor, is further subdivided into small areas surrounded by small drainages and each area is known as clink. from their web page: www.nagreen.com). The balancing depth is worked out as follows. P300, n = 0.02 (allowable shear stress = 3.0 lb/ft2), Channel with For example, for canals passing through sandy soil, the slope may be kept as 2H: 1V whereas canals in firm clay may have bank slopes as 1.5H: 1V canals cut in rock may have almost vertical slopes, but slopes like 0.25 to 0.75H: 1V is preferred from practical considerations.
