The alignment of the proposed railway line Murkongselek to Pasighat connect two state of North-
east region Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The awarded work falls between Ch 0.780 to 27.062
Km in connection with construction of the above-mentioned B. G line. It starts at Murkongselek
Railway station (Ch: 0.780km) and ends at Pasighat (CH: 27.062km).
The design of drainage system is done in accordance with the reference codes and standards, to
meet or exceed the specified performance. Latest editions of following reference codes and
standards along with amendments wherever applicable will be used.
1) AutoCAD software has been used to find the catchment area from the Topographic
sheet of survey of India.
2) Bhuban 2D is used for identify the catchment.
3) Google Earth software has been used to identify the location.
The climate of the area is warm, when compared with winter, the summers have much more
rainfall. The 100 years 24 hours annual rainfall in the area is about 480mm. These locations
are in the northern hemisphere.
Proposed alignment is located on the north bank of the river Brahmaputra It has an average
elevation of 150 metres. The evergreen forests on low hills create an undulating landscape.
After the detailed hydrological studies and climate studies the following BR. No. 31 proposed.
Physiographic parameters of various structure sites have been assessed based on Google earth
map and Auto cad software. Inputs in the study include the field surveys data, geotechnical
investigations, and information gathered during field visit, the following structures are
proposed;
Table 1 Bridges Details
i. The bridge structures are planned considering the slope of the embankment.
ii. The bridges planned considering the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and
ridges.
iii. The bridges planned considering the flood discharge of the area.
3.1 General
Hydrological design of Stream is the study and analyses of the physical characteristics of
catchment, intensity-duration characteristics of rainfall of different frequencies to arrive at a
suitable method of predicting design (peak) flood and it is a very important step prior to the
hydraulic design of bridges drainage system. Such analysis is necessary to determine the
magnitude of flow and the duration for which it would last. It includes the analysis of size and
shape of catchment area, topography, land use characteristics, natural storage, soil type, soil
cover, drainage pattern, rainfall intensity of the area, time of concentration and the peak flow.
The data required for the hydrological design include point value and intensity of rainfall of the
area concerned, the catchment area characteristics viz. soil type, vegetation cover, land use
pattern.
3.2.1 Rainfall
The intensity rain fall data is main factor for affecting water catchment area.. The project
area will be located Assam and Arunachal Pradesh Border area and north of River
Brahmaputra, The annual rainfall for surrounded project area is is getting maximum
100years 24 hours rainfall of 480 mm.
Runoff from adjacent land depends on the topographical features of the area. It is,
therefore, necessary to gather information on natural or manmade ridge lines running
along the proposed road alignment. These ridges should be considered as boundary for
defining catchment area contributing to flow from the adjacent width of lands.
Topographic sheets are very useful in delineating small catchment areas. The accuracy of
manual delineation increases in rolling to hilly terrain. Special care is required for
delineating very small catchments in flat terrains.
In this report we are using to collect the water catchment area and hydrological detail like
slope, stream length, natural ponds, reservoir etc. are taken topographic sheets.
This approach is appropriate for estimating peak discharges for big drainage areas of above 25
sq. km. In this approach flood peak is only estimated on the basis of regression relationship.
Flood peak with physiographic parameters and corresponding 100 yr TD hr point rainfall is read
from isopluvial maps supplied by the IMD are obtained by substituting the corresponding
parameters in the empirical relation developed on the basis of regression analysis. The peak
runoff (As per CWC Report) is given by the following expression,
a. Topographic sheets are very useful in delineating catchment areas. The accuracy of
manual delineation increases in rolling to hilly terrain. Special care is required for
delineating very small catchments in flat terrains.
b. Specifically, in this report Auto cad software is used for computing water catchment
area (A)from topo sheet.
c. The water catchment area picked from ground surface based on sloping pattern of
contour level.
During bridge discharge calculation required discharge (peak run-off Q) calculated and
from that the HFL for that discharge calculated. The design will be considered safe when
the provided bridges vertical clearance value is achieved above than the required HFL the
design will be considered safe and span size is sufficient.
As per detailed calculation provided in Annexure-1, maximum daily rainfall (480mm per day)
for catchment area of 13768998.51 m2 and flood discharge 1807.43 m3/s calculated HFL for span
of 4x45.7m is 148.838m and the total provided vertical clearance 3.047m which is greater than
required 1.5m, hence provided span of bridge is sufficient for that effective catchment area.

Effective width of pier, b = 1.5 m
Effective width of abutment, = 1.4 m
Effective width of water way, B' = 188.96-3x2x1.5-1.4

Cross section area from Q 100 = Q100/V

So depth of flow, d = 292.749/ 178.56

Waterway area required for Q 100 design discharge

Design depth of flow = 752.469/ 178.56
