Q50 HFL(BL+Depth of flow+Afflux) = 392.95 m
Catchment Area = 283.08 sq.km
VC provided for Proposed = 401.30 - 392.953
Pro. ( BOG - Q50 HFL) = 8.34 m
No of span = 2 = 1.50 m

Span in "M" = 18.30 FB provided for Proposed = 403.55 - 392.953

( FL - Q50 HFL) = 10.59 m
Rail Level = 404.29 ˃ 1.00 m

Formation Level = 403.55 The bridge is SAFE for passing the Q50 discharge with Std. V.C and F.B.

Bottom of girder (RL-DC) = 401.30 Scour depth calculations:

Silt factor "f" = 4.50
Bed Level (average) = 386.09
Q50 Discharge = 1045.2 Cumecs
Pier thickness = 1.50 m
Foundation design Discharge = 1.3 x Q50 discharge
