Iyy = 0.898
13 The pier is having semi circular shape in both faces along drain having dia 0.75 mt.at top and
   1.23 mt.at RL 148.00
14 No dimension shall be directly measured from the drawing.
15 SBC of soil has been assumed as 25.00 t/sqm. And silt factor as 1.25 . Soil tests are to be
   carried out at pier locations and ensure the assumed parameters otherwise design is to be
   modified accordingly.
16 The deepest nallah level has to be avoided while locating piers.
17 Suitable u/s & d/s transitions joining canal & trough are to be provided as per site.
