This document discusses various hydraulic structures used in water management, including energy dissipators, fall structures, transitions, and siphons. Energy dissipators like riprap basins are commonly used to reduce flow velocities and erosion at pipe outlets. They function by creating a hydraulic jump to lower energy. Fall structures are used to control water elevation and velocity. Transitions like subcritical and supercritical require analysis to safely change flow characteristics. Siphons are another type of structure used, with design considerations for single or multiple barrel options. The document provides details on analysis and design practices for different hydraulic structure types.

29.2 EROSION LOCKING AND PROTECTION


When the flow rate in an outlet conduit exceeds the
maximum allowable speed for the local floor or channel
coating, channel protection is required. This protection
consists of a resistant erosion between the outlet and
the stable downstream. The design of the protection is
based on a 20-year period of runoff design events.

29.10 FLOW SPARKLER

There are two important considerations for the design


of flow division devices:

(A) Head Loss - Hydraulic disturbances at the point of


division of the flow result in unavoidable head losses.
These losses, however, can ser reducidas por la inclusión

(B) Waste - At all transitions from large to smaller

Flow spreaders are used to uniformly disperse streams


through the inlet portion of the water quality facility (eg,

29.10.1 GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA

 When the flow enters the spreader through a


pipe, it is recommended that the pipe be Figure 29.21 Level Diffuser (Option A)

 Protection against rocks is required in the 29.11. SIPHONES

Any conduit that falls under an obstruction such as
29.10.2 DESIGN CRITERIA FOR FLOW DISPERSION railroad tracks, depressed roads or utilities, and
OPTIONS recovers the elevation on the downstream side of the
obstruction is called an inverted siphon.
The following are the design criteria for each of the
following diffusion options: Due to the inverted bottom, the siphon is filled with
storm water, even when there is no flow.
 Anchored plate (Option A)
 Concrete sump box (Option B). However, siphons have certain advantages in particular
 Flat notch curved spreader (option C) environments, usually in urban areas where other
 Pass Through Ports (Option D) solutions such as flow.

(A) Option A - Anchored plate The siphons are usually one or several barrels and
consist of an inlet, drop, depressed range, lift and outlet
structure.
Figure 29.21 shows the details of the spreader.
29.11.1 SIPHONS OF A BARREL

Single-barrel siphons can be used to transport


stormwater flows where there are no-flow periods
during which maintenance can be provided.

Although some agencies limit the slope of the ascending


siphon leg to 15%, steeper slopes and even vertical falls
and elevators are acceptable if maintenance chambers

29.25.

29.11.2 MULTI BARRIL SIPHONS

In channels or culverts that transmit a continuous flow,


where a barrel does not have sufficient capacity and the
flow has to be divided, or where redundancy is required Figure 29.25 Profile and plane of the vertical legs of
by local agencies, the multibarril siphon is applicable. double barrel siphon (Engineering News, 1916)
The plan and profiles of these siphons are shown in
Figure 29.26.

When redundancy is required for maintenance


purposes, a barrel of equal additional capacity is
sufficient. To fulfill its functions, the multi-barrel siphon
requires equipment and structure, including doors that
close the barrel to be maintained while the other barrel
is open.

29.11.3 CRITERIA AND PRACTICES OF DESIGN

One of the critical criteria for siphon design is the


maintenance of self-cleaning speeds under very varied
flow conditions (ASCE 1969). Siphons used to transport
rainwater are usually designed for a velocity of 0.9 m / s
for a 5-year return interval design flow. Figure 29.26 Profile and plane of a double barrel inclined
