    SIXTH SEMESTER B.TECH DEGREE EXAMINATION(S), DECEMBER 2019
    Course Code: CE 302
    Course Name: DESIGN OF HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES

    Max. Marks: 100 Duration: 4 Hours

    Use of Khosla’s chart, Blench curve and Montague curve are permitted in the exam hall

    PART A
    Answer any two full questions, each carries 15 marks. Marks

    1 a) Distinguish between Bligh’s theory and Khosla’s theory. (4)


    b) Explain the different types of aqueducts. (5)
    c) A channel section has to be designed for the following data. Discharge = 300 (6)
    cumecs, silt factor =1, side slope 0.5:1. Also find the longitudinal slope.
    2 a) What are the different types of cisterns used in falls? (4)
    b) Distinguish between watershed canal and contour canal (4)
    c) Calculate the length of waterway, regime sour depth and the total energy level at (7)
    the upstream of a vertical drop weir for the following data. Maximum flood
    discharge = 2600 cumecs, H.FL before construction = 290.0m, minimum water
    level =d/s bed level = 283.0m, F.S.L of canal =289.0m, allowable flux = 1.0m
    and f=1.
    3 a) What is balancing depth? (2)
    b) Two end sheet piles of length 6m and 8m are provided below an impervious floor (9)
    of 25m length. Total head created on the floor is 5m. Calculate the average
    hydraulic gradient. Also find the uplift pressures at points 6, 12 and 18m from
    the u/s end of the floor and find the thickness of the floor at these points using
    Bligh’s creep theory. Take specific gravity of concrete as 2.25.

    Top width of banks = 1.5m
    At the proposed site a fall of 1.5m is available. Good foundation is available 1m
    below natural surface level. The canal section and flow conditions are same
    below the fall. Assume any other data if required.
