Hydrological Analysis
Main
Objectives:
To
Estimate
the
Maximum Quantity of Water Expected to
Reach the Element of Drainage System
Under Consideration.
Various Factors Affecting the Run-off
are
Rate of Rainfall,
Type of Soil and Moisture Condition,
Topography of the Area,
Type of Ground Cover Like Vegetation, etc.

Rational Formula
Used to estimate the peak run-off water for highway
drainage:
Q = C i Ad
Where, Q = run-off,
C = run-off coefficient (ratio of run-off to rate of
rainfall)
i = rainfall intensity mm/s
Ad = drainage area in 1000
C depends mainly on the type of surface and its slope.
Ad consists of several types of surface run-off coefficients
C1, C2, C3, with their respective areas A 1, A2, A3, .
The weighted value of C =
Design value of i is to be determined for the expected
duration of storm and frequency of occurrence.

Hydraulic Analysis
After determining the design run-off Q, the next
step is the hydraulic design of drains.
Side drains and partially filled culverts are
designed based on the principles of flow through
open channels.
If Q is the quantity of surface water to be
removed by side drain and V is the allowable
velocity of flow on the side drain, the area of
cross section A of the channel is found from the
relation:
Q = AV

Functions of a Culvert
To collect and carry the water across the
road so as not to cause damage to road
bank or the stream bed by scouring.
To allow sufficient waterway to prevent
heading up of water above the road
surface.

Pipe Culverts
When the stream carries low discharge and
alignment has high embankment, pipe culverts
are considered more suitable.
Pipe is laid slightly inclined.
Minimum diameter of the pipe culvert is limited to
600 mm to facilitate cleaning and avoid blocking.
The standard length of the RCC pipe is fixed at
2.5 m, jointed by collar or tongue and groove.
Pipes may be made of stoneware, concrete, RCC,
etc.
The standard size of pipe culverts are 0.5 m, 0.75
m, 1 m, 1.25 m and 2 m in diameter.

Box Culverts
Box culvert of square or rectangular shape is
made of RCC.
Rectangular shaped culverts referred to as box
culverts - are commonly used to cater for larger
crossings.

Inverted Siphon
Structure with lowering an invert level of conduit
across the road to desired level and both inlet and
outlet pits are provided to receive flow from and
discharge water to the downstream drain
respectively.
Inverted siphons (also called depressed sewers)
allow storm water to pass under obstructions
such as rivers.

Causeway
Provided instead of culverts on less important
road which saves the construction cost.
Provided where the maximum depth of flow does
not exceed 1.5 m.

Level (Irish Bridge)

bridges.

The procedure for design of filter is briefly discussed below:1. On a grain size distribution chart plot the grain size
distribution curve for the foundation soil.
2. Find the value of D15 size of foundation material and plot a
point of particle size D15 of foundation to represent the lower
limit of D15 size of filter. This to fulfill the permeability condition
given by:- (D15 of filter / D15 of foundation ) should be > 5.
3. To fulfill the condition to prevent piping :- ( D 15 of filter / D85 of
foundation ) should be less than ( < ) 5, hence plot a point to
represent the upper limits of D 15 size of filter given by 5D85 of
foundation.
4. Find the size of perforation in the drain pipe or the gap in the
open joints pipes and let this be = D p. Plot a point to represent
D85 size of filter given by the size 2D p.
