Determine the various forces acting on a concrete weir given the following information (7 marks): Height of weir = 2.0 m; Top width of weir

Determine the various forces acting on a concrete weir given the following information (7 marks):

  • Height of weir = 2.0 m;
  • Top width of weir (weir crest width) = 0.5m
  • Upstream water depth = height of weir;
  • Downstream water depth is one-third of the weir height;
  • Depth of silt on the upstream = 0.5m;
  • Vertical upstream face;
  • Downstream slope of 1:0.5;
  • Foundation material = rock, coefficient of friction, f = 0.70

Also check the stability of the weir against:

  • Sliding (2 marks)
  • Overturning (5 marks)
