Hydrology Report Bridge 4/1 Weligama–TelijjawilaB466 Road HYDROLOGICAL STUDY FOR BRIDGE NO 4/1 WELIGAMA – TELIJJAWILA B466 ROAD
1 Introduction
This report hydrological and hydraulic analysis which was carried out after site reconnaissance. It provides recommendations for the proposed opening sizes for the bridge at Weligama – Telijjawila B466 Road.
The main stream is the Polwatte Ganga.
2 Methodology of the Assessment
2.1 Salient Steps The proposed methodology for the drainage assessment consists of the following steps.
(1) Assimilation of all relevant topographic and hydrologic data relevant to the roads drainage. i.e. 1:50,000 digital maps of Survey Department were mainly used in a GIS base along with Google Earth satellite imagery.
(2) Site reconnaissance and understanding the prevailing drainage and scour issues especially around the candidate bridge.
(3) Hydrologic and hydraulic computations to ascertain the capacity adequacy of the candidate bridge
(4) Conclusions regarding the structure capacity in terms of the present and proposed opening sizes/cross section, scour depth etc.
2.2 Assimilation of Topographic and Hydrological Data
2.2.1 Topographic Data for Catchment Delineation Digital maps with 1:50,000 scale was used to locate the bridge catchment areas as these maps are accurate and user friendly while gathering information related the catchment. Bridge location was obtained through GPS coordinates and the locations were transmitted to a GIS database (Arc Maps).
2.2.2 Hydrologic Data The main hydrologic data required for the hydrological and hydraulic assessments apart from the topographic information are;
Rainfall Intensity Duration Frequency Curves (IDF Curves) for different road stretches
Time of concentration

2.3 Rainfall Intensity Duration Frequency (IDF) Curves
Rainfall and Intensity Duration Frequency [IDF] Curves were obtained from the research paper Entitled “Towards More Efficient Hydraulic and Hydrological Design of Cross Drainage Structures Using New Developed Intensity Duration Frequency Equations” by D G L Ranathunge. This paper has presented IDF curves for many localities throughout the country where pluviograph rainfall data are present (mainly the principal met stations manned by the Department Meteorology and selected other stations manned by the Department of irrigation).These IDF curves equations serve as secondary data derived from primary rainfall data obtained from the Department of Meteorology and Department of Irrigation etc. IDF curves for Galle was used for the calculations as this is the closest meteorological stations with IDF information.

2.4 Intensive Site Reconnaissance Survey for Understanding Prevailing Drainage Issues
Drainage issues were identified during a site visit on 21st March 2014. The relevant stakeholders close to the bridge were met and their views were obtained to assess the prevailing flooding issues. The Bridge in consideration has the following observations.
1. The Downstream connect with the sea about 3 km distance. 2. Down stream Polwaththa and upstream Koledanda bridges are on the same river.

3. Has never flooded according to the information received.
2.5 Hydrologic and Hydraulic Computations – Capacity Adequacy Checks Hydraulic computations were carried out to test the adequacy of the hydraulic structures using the SCS Formula for peak flow computations employing HEC HMS flood model software of US Corps of Engineers and Manning’s equations for hydraulic capacity computation using “Hydraulic Toolbox” software.
2.6 Hydrologic Design
2.6.1 General
The Hydrologic Calculation of the Denipitiya Bridge will be governed by the Hydrological condition of the Koledanda Bridge which is only 500m in the Upstream of the Polwatte Oya.
Therefore the Outflow of the Koledanda Bridge will be the inflow of Denipitiya Bridge,
Same Calculation of defining the peak flow for the Koledanda Bridge is used here (Considering the Flood Plain Effect)
For this calculation it is assumed that the water reaching the bridge at certain level starts to collect in the flood plain. In Koledanda bridge it is above 0.00mMSL elevation. And the rate of the water level increase is assumed 20mm per every 15 minutes at the peak discharge time.
To find the Peak Discharge Itterative method used with the help of Hydraulic Tool Box software and is presented below.

Hydrology Report Bridge 4/1 Weligama–TelijjawilaB466 Road Calculation of Backwater effect.
Sea level could rise to about 0.95m MSL in a combined extreme event with maximum spring tide (0.35m) wind set up (0.2m), wave set up (0.1m), cyclone 0.3m totaling to 0.95m
Backwater profiles along the main stream was calculated using the direct step method from a sea water level of 0.95 m MSL. M2 type backwater curves are found to exist along the streams towards the bridges. Simplified floodway parameters are assumed in the direct step method calculations. Backwater profiles and the design flood levels at the bridge is given in the Figure below.

Hydrology Report Bridge 4/1 Weligama–TelijjawilaB466 Road Scour Calculation.
Provision in Essentials of Bridge Engineering (D . Johnson Victor) Mean Depth of Scoure Dsm = 1.34 (Db2/Ksf) 0.33 Db = Discharge in m3/s per m Ksf= Silt Factor (Lacey Method) 1.2445 for 0.5mm Medium sand. For Denipitiya Bridge Total Discharge 220.075 m3/s Width = 95m Therefore Db = 2.33 Dsm= 2.18 m Calculation of Scour For nose of piers Maximum Scour depth From HWL = 2.0* Dsm = 4.36 m Maximum Scour depth from river bed = Dmax – HWL Calculated HWL=4.30m Therefore minimum Depth required for foundation = 0.06m
3 Conclusions and Recommendations
3.1 Conclusions 1. Calculated HFL is 1.205 as per the Backwater effect .
2. The Soffit level of the proposed bridge is 2.267mMSL.
3. Since the effect of backwater is critical in this sea area the free board is 1.062m.
4. While considering the sea water levels it is revealed that the Proposed Bridge will not be submerged by rare
floods of high magnitude.
3.2 Recommendations
1. The proposed soffit level 2.267.mMSL is recommended.
