Identification of channel diversion and bank protection techniques for toorsa river
This project aims for desigining of flood embankment structures to accommodate both normal flows as well as the highest designed flood for the return period of 100 years form flood frequency analysis. The new channel dimensions are being determined and embankment protection works for the floods are being designed and recommended. Having found steel sheet pile more advantages and safety, the same is recommended for the river training works. The focus of the project was confined to the channel diversion along with proper embankment works. The methodology included the usage of several approaches such as ARC –GIS to obtain catchment area and cross section of the river,and hydraulics analysis was done using HEC-RAS and the slope/W analysis check was done for the stability of the embankment works. The laboratory test such as sieve analysis, bulk density test, specific gravity test was done to determine the classification of the soil, compaction of the soil, to use different parameter for the desigini g works.
