Strengthening the Flood Management Function of DPWH

Design Discharge
The design discharge of the proposed site
shall be determined considering the following
recommendations
Maximum experienced flood (in order to avoid
similar disaster)
In case the elevation of the beneficiary is
higher, higher capacity shall be considered.

Grecile Christopher R.

Revetment

Trial design flood level is the projected
maximum experienced flood levels , with a
gradient corresponding to the riverbed
gradient.

Maximum Scouring Depth/Deepest


Riverbed
Bank erosion is primarily due to scouring of toe
and sides of the banks during the periods of
floods.
Forecasting the deepest riverbed in the future is
an important factor in determining the foundation
depth of the revetment.
The deepest riverbed can be calculated using
scouring depth analysis which will be based on
the average riverbed level. Factors Contributing
to Scouring:
Grecile Christopher R.

Revetment

Strengthening the Flood Management Function of DPWH

Maximum Scouring Depth/Deepest


Riverbed
Estimation Method for Maximum Scouring
Depth
The scouring depth is measured from the
average riverbed level.
Maximum scouring depth (Z) at the proposed
structure site is estimated as the larger value
between the computed maximum scouring
depth (Zc) and the surveyed maximum
scouring depth (Zs).
Grecile Christopher R.

Revetment

Strengthening the Flood Management Function of DPWH

Maximum Scouring Depth/Deepest


Riverbed
Calculated maximum scouring depth (Zc)
is an empirical value that considers the
relationship among the width of a
waterway, depth, the riverbed material, and
the radius of the curve, etc.
Surveyed maximum scouring depth (Zs)
is the deepest riverbed determined from
actual field survey (cross-sectional survey)
Grecile Christopher R.

Revetment

Strengthening the Flood Management Function of DPWH

Maximum Scouring Depth/Deepest


Riverbed
Scouring phenomena occur along the entire river
stretch with different effects for straight line and
bend or curve waterway. The primary factors that
contribute to scouring based on the alignment of
river are:
Straight-line waterway : sand bar height
Curve waterway
: bend of river alignment

Strengthening the Flood Management Function of DPWH

Calculation of Design Velocity


The velocity of flow is an indispensable factor
in the selection of the type of slope covering.
The mean velocity derived in the uniform flow
calculations is not equal to the velocity of flow
in front of the revetment.
The velocity is actually influenced by the
effects of sand wave, bend and foot protection
work.
In designing, it is recommended to correct the
mean velocity to the design velocity of the
revetment.
Grecile Christopher R.

Revetment

Strengthening the Flood Management Function of DPWH

Calculation of Design Velocity


It is necessary to apply the correction to the
mean velocity calculated from the uniform flow
calculation.
In case there will be no correction, use the
maximum value of the mean velocities derived
from the representative cross-sections (design
flood) as the design velocity of the revetment

Factors Contributing to Scouring


Changes in average riverbed elevation
Channel excavation/dredging lowers the
average be elevation, and the bed elevation
in scoured areas becomes lower
accordingly.
There are also cases where the reduction in
sediment transport from the upstream
destroys the sediment balance, resulting in
a lower bed elevation

Grecile Christopher R.

Revetment

Strengthening the Flood Management Function of DPWH

Factors Contributing to Scouring


Variation of Rivers Cross-section
There are two (2) reasons why the river
cross-section directly influences scouring.
One is that the change in river width from
wide to narrow causes the increase in
water depth.
The other is that a curved or meandering
river causes the flow to move toward one
side of the channel, resulting in bank
scouring.
Grecile Christopher R.

Revetment

Strengthening the Flood Management Function of DPWH

Factors Contributing to Scouring

Structures
A structure located in the path of flowing
water increases the velocity of flow around
the structure and cause local scouring.

Grecile Christopher R.

Revetment

Strengthening the Flood Management Function of DPWH

Factors Contributing to Scouring


Sand bar induced scouring

Sand bars are alluvial deposits in the


river, which cause an obstruction to
flow. Since the height of sand bars is
roughly equal to water depth, the
amount of bar-induced scouring
becomes large if the influence of bars
is similar to curving or meandering.

We will focus on the scouring depth due to


bend of river and sand bar

End Protection
The end protection work is indispensable to
the rigid structure type revetments
The end protection shall cover the extent of
the covering work and crest work.
The thickness of the end protection work
shall be from the surface of revetment up
to backfill material. The thickness of the
end protection shall be more than 50 cm.

Partition
In case the length of the rigid type
revetment is more than 50 m, a partition
shall be installed in order to prevent the
damage of the revetment from spreading.
The structure of the partition works shall be
the same as the end protection works.

Transition
A transition work to the natural bank is
installed in order to connect the revetment
and the natural bank smoothly and to
prevent erosion at the upstream and
downstream sides of the revetment from
spreading behind the revetment.
A transition work shall be flexible type like
gabion mattress and the like.

Transition
The fitting angle to the natural bank shall be
30 degrees or less at the upstream side
and 45 degrees or less at the downstream
side. However the fitting angle shall be
determined based on the present condition
of the bank.

Types of Foot Protections


The type of foot protection shall be
determined based on river conditions,
ease of construction, economy etc.

Elevation of Foot Protection


The top elevation of foot protection shall
be set at the same elevation of that
foundation work of the revetment.
In order to prevent scouring, the top
elevation of foot protection work is also set
above the top of foundation of the
revetment.

Elevation of Foot Protection


The bottom elevation of foot protection shall
be set at the same elevation as the top of
foundation work.
If the thickness of the foot protection work is
more than 1.0 meter, the bottom elevation
of the foot protection shall be set at the
same elevation with the bottom of the
foundation.

Width of Foot Protection


The foot protection work requires a
sufficient width that will prevent scouring of
riverbed in front of the foundation of the
revetment.
