Study of Radial Gate & its Piers

This book deals with analysis, design, and detailing of radial gates subjected to water loads. The Programming is carried out in C++ language for the analysis and design of Radial gate. The design of radial gate mainly involves design of skin plate, horizontal girders, radial arms and trunnion. The design is carried out for FRL and then sections obtained are checked for HFL, Hydrodynamics Pressure etc. with increase in permissible stresses by 33% as per the provision of BIS.The Program gives output in terms of section sizes and stresses they carry. Greater care has to taken in deciding the location of horizontal girder so that they carry almost equal horizontal forces, thus resulting into economical design of girder. Radial Arms are designed as compression members and the bracing are designed for carrying 2.5% loads on the arms carry. This is also done in C++ language. The radial arm, in turn, transfers the loads to trunnion girder via trunnion bracket. It is basically a design of steel connection and same is carried out in Excel, using welding application.The second part of design consists of design of Pier and its footing that carry loads from Gates.
