RIVER TRAINING WORKS BY USING COMPUTER APPLICATION

RIVER TRAINING WORKS BY USING COMPUTER APPLICATION

ABSTRACT

Floods River may develop meanders may break through embankments, attack towns/important structures, bypass bridges & in general causes loss of life and properties. Therefore river training works are generally undertaken aimed at achieving objectives such as flood control, bank protection, sediment control, navigation, improving approach conditions to bridges, barrages & river intakes etc. Several software’s are currently available for dealing with these problems. In this paper the “cross-data” software developed by CWPRS, Pune is used to obtain various parameters of the design. The paper is a design of protection works in the form of porcupines. Also a physical modeling study of rigid bed of the river is also done.
