Introduction
Cross Drainage Works
Definition:
A cross drainage work is a structure carrying the discharge from a natural stream across a canalintercepting the stream.
Canal comes across obstructions like rivers, natural drains and other canals.
The various types of structures that are built to carry the canal water across the above mentioned
obstructions or vice versa are called cross drainage works.
It is generally a very costly item and should be avoided by
Diverting one stream into another.
Changing the alignment of the canal so that it crosses below the junction of two streams.
Types of cross drainage works
Depending upon levels and discharge, it may be of the following types:
(a) Cross drainage works carrying canal across the drainage:
the structures that fall under this type are:
1. An Aqueduct
2. Siphon Aqueduct

Aqueduct:
When the HFL of the drain is sufficiently below the bottom of the canal such that the drainagewater flows freely under gravity, the structures known as Aqueduct. An aqueduct is a water
supply or navigable channel constructed to convey water. In modern engineering, the term is
used for any system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels, and other structures used for this purpose.In a more restricted use, aqueduct (occasionally water bridge) applies to any bridge or viaduct
that transports water instead of a path, road or railway across a gap. Large navigable aqueducts
are used as transport links for boats or ships. Aqueducts must span a crossing at the same level asthe watercourses on each end. The word is derived from the Latinaqua ("water") and ducere ("to
lead").
In this, canal water is carried across the drainage in a trough supported on piers.
Bridge carrying water
Provided when sufficient level difference is available between the canal and natural andcanal bed is sufficiently higher than HFL.

Classification of aqueduct and siphon aqueduct:
Depending upon the nature of the sides of the aqueduct or siphon aqueduct it
may be classified under three headings:
Type I:
Sides of the aqueduct in earthen banks with complete earthen slopes. The
length of culvert should be sufficient to accommodate both, water section of
canal, as well as earthen banks of canal with aqueduct slope.
Sides of the aqueduct in earthen banks, with other slopes supported by
masonry wall. In this case, canal continues in its earthen section over the
drainage but the outer slopes of the canal banks are replaced by retaining wall,
reducing the length of drainage culvert.
Type II:
Sides of the aqueduct made of concrete or masonry. Its earthen section of the
canal is discontinued and canal water is carried in masonry or concrete trough,
canal is generally flumed in this section.
Siphon Aqueduct:
In case of the siphon Aqueduct, the HFL of the drain is much higher above the canal bed, andwater runs under siphonic action through the Aqueduct barrels.
The drain bed is generally depressed and provided with pucci floors, on the upstream side, the
drainage bed may be joined to the pucca floor either by a vertical drop or by glacis of 3:1. The
downstrean rising slope should not be steeper than 5:1. When the canal is passed over thedrain, the canal remains open for inspection throughout and the damage caused by flood is rare.
However during heavy floods, the foundations are succeptible to scour or the waterway of drain
may get choked due to debris, tress etc.

The structures that fall under this type are:
Super passage
Canal siphon or called syphon only.
Super passage:
The hydraulic structure in which the drainage is passing over the irrigation canal is
known as super passage. This structure is suitable when the bed level of drainage is
above the flood surface level of the canal. The water of the canal passes clearly below thedrainage
A super passage is similar to an aqueduct, except in this case the drain is over the canal.
The FSL of the canal is lower than the underside of the trough carrying drainage water.Thus, the canal water runs under the gravity.
Reverse of an aqueduct

Canal Syphon:
If two canals cross each other and one of the canals is siphoned under the other, then the
hydraulic structure at crossing is called canal siphon. For example, lower Jhelum canalis siphoned under the Rasul-Qadirabad (Punjab, Pakistan) link canal and the
crossing structure is called L.J.C siphon In case of siphon the FSL of the canal is much above the bed level of the drainage trough,
so that the canal runs under the siphonic action.
The canal bed is lowered and a ramp is provided at the exit so that the trouble of silting is
minimized.
Reverse of an aqueduct siphon
In the above two types, the inspection road cannot be provided along the canal and a
separate bridge is required for roadway. For economy, the canal may be flumed but the
drainage trough is never flumed.
Selection of suitable site for cross drainage works:
The factors which affect the selection of suitable type of cross drainage works are:
Relative bed levels and water levels of canal and drainage
Size of the canal and drainage.
The following considerations are important

When the bed level of the canal is much above the HFL of the drainage, an
aqueduct is the obvious choice.
When the bed level of the drain is well above FSL of canal, super passage is
provided.
The necessary headway between the canal bed level and the drainage HFL can
be increased by shifting the crossing to the downstream of drainage. If,
however, it is not possible to change the canal alignment, a siphon aqueduct
may be provided.
When canal bed level is much lower, but the FSL of canal is higher than the
bed level of drainage, a canal siphon is preferred.
When the drainage and canal cross each other practically at same level, a level
crossing may be preferred. This type of work is avoided as far as possible.
Factors which influence the choice / Selection of Cross Drainage Works
1. The considerations which govern the choice between aqueduct and siphon aqueduct are:
2. Suitable canal alignment
3. Suitable soil available for bank connections4. Nature of available foundations
5. Permissible head loss in canal
6. Availibility of funds
Compared to an aqueduct a super passage is inferior and should be avoided whenever possible.
Siphon aqueduct is preferred over siphon unless large drop in drainage bed is required.
Uses:
Historically, agricultural societies have constructed aqueducts to irrigate crops. Archimedes
invented the water screw to raise water for use in irrigation of croplands.
Another use for aqueducts is to supply large cities with drinking water. Some of the Roman
aqueducts still supply water to Rome today. In California, United States, three large aqueducts

supply water over hundreds of miles to the Los Angeles area. Two are from the Owens River
area and a third is from the Colorado River.
In more recent times, aqueducts were used for transportation purposes to allow canalbarges to
cross ravines or valleys. During the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, aqueducts were
constructed as part of the boom in canal-building.
In modern civil engineering projects, detailed study and analysis of open channel flow is
commonly required to support flood control, irrigation systems, and large water supply systems
when an aqueduct rather than a pipeline is the preferred solution.
In the past, aqueducts often had channels made of earth or other porous materials but significant
amounts of water are lost through such unlined aqueducts. As water gets increasingly scarce,
these canals are being lined with concrete, polymers or impermeable soil. In some cases, a new
aqueduct is built alongside the old one because it cannot be shut down during construction.

Chapter-3
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 beuneconomical 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)
Thickness of bottom slab = 250 mm (assume)
Thickness of wearing coat = 80 mm (assume)
Bottom level of the canal trough = sill level- thickness of wearing coat-
Thickness of bottom slab
= 39.75-0.08-0.025=39.64 m
Bottom level of slab = 39.75-0.25 = 39.50
Average bed level of the drain = 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 y

18.46 = L X 2.45
L = 7.54 m
Length of barrel = B+ 2X (thickness of side wall)

Consider section D-D
From C-C to D-D, there is a uniform velocity. The loss of head in the trough is only
friction loss which manifests itself as surface fall to sustain the velocity.
This loss of head is calculated using mannings formula, using the value of 0.014 for n

Design of canal apron
In between the canal wings, concrete is laid as a apron to prevent water percolating by the side
of the abutment exert pressure under the drainage apron. The uplift is maximum when the canalis full and drainage is empty.
In this case, the gross head causing uplift at F.S.L
Before the water creeps to the bottom of the drainage aprons, some head is lost .assuming that
the canal apron is laid sloping from the top of trough slab +39.75 to a level +38.00 (ground level
) for a length of L meters, as shown in fig the vertical creep is neglected.
The canal wing upstream and downstream will be splayed such that by the time the end of apron
is reached, the distance between their faces is equal to the theoretical bed width of
canal,i.e.,20.00 meters. This decides the splay of canal wings.
The apron is to be laid from canal sill level to natural ground level
Gross uplift head = canal F.S.L-foundation level
= 42.00-37.00
= 5m
Let us provide the canal apron sloping from top of the trough slab +39.75 to a level (ground
level) = 38.00

The foundations of returns and apron retaining wall are to be taken down to 40.36-3.56

However the foundations have been taken down to +36.40 and are quite safe.
On D/s side also, the foundations are taken down to +36.40 and as the distance between the
returns is also more or less same . The foundations adopted are safe.

INSPECTION TRACK
The inspection track on the left embankment of canal also has to be taken across the drain by
means of a bridge just by the side of the canal trough.
The width of roadway between kerbs may be kept large enough to meet the demands of traffic
proposed on the canal banks. In this case, it is kept as 3.65 meters (12 feet wide). Depending on
the traffic, the road bridge may be designed. In the present case, the roadway is carried over plain
concrete arches since there is enough headroom above water level. The springings of arches are
kept above water level in the drain.
Semi-circular arches or reinforced concrete deck slabs can be adopted.
In this case the thickness of 50 cms adopted for the arches is quite enough and the detailed
design of arch is not attempted.
Keep the springing level of arches a little above the rear M.F.L., i.e., +40.00.
Bottom level of arch (intrados) is 40.00 +.
=..
Thickness of arch = 0.50 m.
Therefore, top of arch (extrados) = 41.75.
This top level of road surface may be kept at +43.00. The space in between the road level and
top of arch is covered with earth to act as cushion over the arches.
The road width between kerbs is kept at 3.65 meters with suitable parapets. The inspection
track over the arches is suitably connected to the canal banks by canal transitions.

Design of foundation of abutment and piers
Foundation of piers and abutments are to be taken down to hard ground. As per data, hard
ground is available below +37.00.
So the foundation of piers level of foundation is +37.00.
As seen in the plan the drainage sill is kept at +37.00 and with a depth of drainage floor as 60
cms, the bottom level of the drainage apron also is at +36.40.
So, the drainage apron, foundation of piers and abutments will all be laid as one block of
concrete of 60 cms. thick (for the drainage barrel portion) as shown in the plan.
This distributes the load of the structure evenly on the soil below and drainage apron will also be
capable of acting as an inverted arch to take care of the extra uplift pressure.
Where the soil of enough bearing capacity is met with at a deeper level, the foundation will be
taken deeper and the drainage apron will be at higher levels. in such cases, the actual pressure
under the foundation of abutments will have to be checked and verified so that they do not
exceed the safe bearing capacity.
The drainage apron in such cases, not being monolithic with the foundation of the abutments and
piers will not be able to take care of the any uplift pressure by arch action. The uplift pressure
that can be resisted is only due to the weight of the concrete apron.
In the present case, for safety the thickness of the pier adopted is 1.00 meter. Abutment under the
road arches has a bottom width of 1.75 meters and top width of 1.00 meter .the abutment under
the road arches has a bottom width of 2.25 meters and a top width of 1.25 meters. The abutment
has a uniform face better 1 in 8.
These abutments, in actual construction, will have to be carefully checked for the stability taking
into account the earth pressures, surcharge, etc. acting on them. The maximum pressures on the
soil have to be checked so that they do not exceed the safe bearing pressure on the foundation
soil.

Arc lengths to fix the lengths of drainage wings
Downstream side of drain:
Canal F.S.L +42.00
Drainage bed +37.00
Difference +5.00 m
Arc length =5 meters.
Upstream of drain:
Canal F.S.L +42.00
Drainage bed +38.00
Difference +4.00 m
Arc length along which creep may occur =4X4=16 meters.
Since the downstream transitions of canal will be lined with masonry even beyond the canal
wings, the creep length is fixed from the end of canal aprons upstream and the arch length along
which creep occurs is shown in the plan.
In the drawing, keeping the distance between the returns as 14 meters both upstream anddownstream and keeping the lengths till the hydraulic gradient cuts the proposed drain bed level,
the actual arc lengths along which the creep occurs are more than the required. Hence the
proposed splays as in the drawing are adopted.
Solid apron in the drainage bed will be provided up to the end of the end of the drainage wings.
The length of the drainage wings is limited by a hydraulic gradient as shown in dotted line in the
drawing.

Design of anchorage arrangements
Since the barrel is flowing full and the drain M.L.F. on both sides is above the bottom level of
the roof slab there will be an upward thrust acting on the roof slab there will be an upward thrustacting on the roof slab.so the roof slab have to be well anchored to the piers and abutments to
prevent the upward movement of the R.C. slab.
The uplift is maximum when the barrel is full and canal empty. The worst condition is at
upstream end of roof slab. M.F.L. just upstream of R.C. trough
Bottom level of the trough
Difference =1.14
Thickness of roof slab
Roof slab will counteract
meters of uplift head
Net uplift head
Say 0.50 meters.
So, necessary anchoring arrangements are provided as holding-down bolts fixed on the piers
through R.C slab.
Design of anchor bolts:
Clear span of the slab =2.50m
Upward thrust acting on one span along the entire width of slab
= 2.5 X 12.60 X 0.5 X 1000 = 15750 kg.
Assuming 20 mm dia.rod, the thrust that can be registered by one holding-down bolt
= 1260 X 3.14 = 3956 kg.
No bolts required =157503956 = 4 Nos (approx.)
So provide 4 holding-down bolts on each pier.it is enough to provide half the number on the
abutment, but in this case provide 3 bolts, one at each end of trough and one in the middle.
