Selection of type of aqueduct
The above data of hydraulic particulars, a type-3 aqueduct is designed. It is only purely from an
economical aspect that we go in for the type-3 aqueduct. For major drains it will be
uneconomical to go in for a type-3 aqueduct as the extra cost of barrel with a large number of
vents will be more than the cost of other works necessary for a type-3 aqueduct.
So, whenever an aqueduct are to be actually constructed, comparative costs are to be
worked out for a type-2 and a type-3, and whichever is economical is to be chosen and adopted.
In the case of a type-3 aqueduct, the canal will be flumed and taken through a masonry or
reinforced concrete trough supported on piers and abutments. The maximum velocity through the
trough is generally taken as twice the normal velocity or 1.5m/s whichever is less.

Design of drainage water way
Let us provide 3 vents of 2.5 m wide length of water way, l=3X2.50=7.5 m
Sill level of canal trough
= 39.75 m (given)
= 39.75-0.25 = 39.50
= 38.00
Since the M.F.L of the drain = ultimate bed level of the canal
Let us adopt depressed bed level of the drain = 37.00
Depth of water = y1 = Bottom level of the canal trough slab- depressed B.L
Of drain=39.45-37=2.45 m
Let the design velocity in the drain, V1= 3.25 m/s (assume)
Discharge in the drain, Q1 = 60 m3/s
Q1=A1 X V1,
60= A1 X 3.25
A1=18.46 m2
A1=L X y1
18.46 = L X 2.45
L = 7.54 m
Length of barrel = B+ 2X (thickness of side wall)
= 12 + 2X (0.3) =12.60 m

Check for loss of head in the canal due to fluming of canal
through the trough
water way
In a type-1 or type-22 aqueduct, the canal water way is not reduced and is taken over the drain as
it is. Hence, there is no loss of head in the canal.
However, in case of a type
type-3 aqueduct, the canal water-way
way is flumed or reduced,
resulting inn an increase in velocity through the trough. Unless there is a difference in water levels
before entry and after exit, attainment of increased velocity in the trough is not possible.
In aqueduct of short lengths, by limiting the velocity to twic
twicee the normal canal velocity,
the loss of head may be very small or almost negligible and hence it is generally ignored. The
assumption is that the upstream water surface will in course of time assume a flatter slope to the
extent required to drive the flow through the trough with that bit of extra velocity.
However, in large and longer aqueducts it is not so. In order to economies in cost of the canal
trough, we may be forced to increase the velocity through the trough. In addition, the length of
the trough is an additional factor. These two factors combine to indicate a significant loss of
head, which will have to be provided for, while formulating the canal hydraulic particulars.
Structures constructed ignoring this aspect will not function properly.
In the present case, to illustrate this aspect, the loss of head in the canal is computed.

Fixing the M.F.L of the drainage
The MFL of the drain in rear of the siphon barrel is 39.75. So, the barrel flows full under
maximum flow conditions. The necessary afflux required to push through 60 m3/s with a velocity
of 3.25 m/s is calculated by unwins inverted syphon formula,

Design of side walls of canal trough
Bottom level of the side wall = bottom level of the canal trough
Top level of the side wall = U/S F.S.L + 0.5 = 42.50 + 0.5 = 43.00
Depth of water h = U/S F.S.L Sill level = 42.50 39.75 = 2.75 m
Let top thickness = 2 m
It is designed as a cantilever wall
of water = 10 KN/m3
