Hydraulic Gates and Valves

Hydraulic Gates :

Leaf or a closure member is moved across the fluid way from an external position to control the flow of water.

Valves:

Closure member is generally rotated or moved from a position within the fluid to restrict discharge passage.

Eg:Butterfly valve, tube valve, spherical valve etc

VERTICAL LIFT GATES These are gates that moves within a vertical groove incised between two piers The vertical lift gates used for controlling flow over the crest of a hydraulic structure are usually equipped with wheels, This type of gate is commonly used for barrages but is nowadays rarely used for dam spillways. Instead, the radial gates are used for dams. This is mostly due to the fact that in barrage spillways, the downstream tailwater is usually quite high during floods that may submerge the trunnion of a radial gate.

Gates:

Page 50: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Co-acting width of skin plate with beam or stiffeners

For design of stiffeners and girders, the skin plate thickness is also taken into account.

The co acting width of the skin plate in non panel construction is restricted by least of the following:

1. 40t + B` where

T = thickness of skin plateB = width of stiffeness flange in contact

2. 0.11 times the span

Page 51: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

3. Center to center distance of stiffener and girder(Hydrostatic force, Hydrodynamic forces, model studies also)For panel construction it is limited by the width = 2 V B whereV = Reduction factor depending upon ratio of support

length to the span of the plate and action of the moment as determined in the design codes viz IS 4622-2003.

B = Half the span of the plate between two girdersHowever care should be taken that the width so calculated does not exceed limits set in IS 800-1980.

Page 52: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

3. Semi flexible Design

For the eventuality of one of the roller not in contact with the track plate and extreme loading conditions arising thereof, our IS codes have made a provision for designing the gate as semi flexible, fitted with number of elements with only two wheels on either side.

The vertical girder in this case is discontinuous. While this features enables saving of steel in design of roller and tracks but at the same time care has to be taken to provide flexible joints between various elements at skin plate and end girder.

Page 53: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

4. Hydrodynamic Loading

The gate is subjected to static water loading when the flow does not take place. When water flows past the gate at partial opening, hydrodynamic forces also occur which may be extreme in some cases causing vibration, cavitation, non-operability and sometimes even failure of gate. The gate has to be designed carefully for following factors:

Page 54: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

a. Gate Slot

b. Gate lip

c. Aeration (air demand)

Sometimes model studies become necessary to find out the amount of hydrodynamic forces and air demand. The problem of hydrodynamic loading becomes extreme at high head of water. Placement of sealing also plays a major role in the design of hydrodynamic loading.

Page 55: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

5. Provision of Stoplogs:

For maintenance of gates, Stoplogs usually 10% of total number of spillway bays is kept.

However care should be taken to ascertain the condition if the Stoplogs are required to be

lowered in flowing water. In such cases, provision of emergency bulkhead gate may be

provided.

Page 56: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Design of vertical lift gate

1. Skin Plate

Skin plate thickness is taken 1.5 mm more for account for corrosion. For non panel

construction it is designed for bending across stiffeners or horizontal girder. For panel

construction is designed for various end conditions as given in design code viz IS 4622-

2003.

Page 57: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

2. Vertical Stiffeners / horizontal girder

Vertical stiffeners or horizontal girders are designed as simply supported or continuous

beams depending upon framing adopted for the gate and take the load from the skin plate.

Design principle at S. No 2 is also taken into account in design.

Page 58: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

The spacing between horizontal girders is adjusted in such a way that all the girders carry equal loading. The following methods may be used for this:

a. Trial and error methodb. Analytical methodc. Graphical method

Care is also taken that the deflection of the gate does not exceed the permissible limit,especially so for the top seal gates.

Page 59: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

3. End vertical girder

The end vertical girder is designed as continuous beam resting on wheel contact point with

concentrated loads coming from horizontal girders, at the points where they meet the end

vertical girder. Torsional effects are also accounted for where applicable. Design principle at S. No 3 is also taken into account in design.

Page 60: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

4. Wheel Assembly:

Wheel assembly consists of Roller, wheel pin, Wheel bearing or bushing. Care should be

taken to ensure the proper design for point contact or line contact loading. The wheel may

have to be crowned for ensuring proper contact.

Page 61: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

6. Seal Assembly

Earlier wooden sealing or leather sealing was adopted for minor works. Nowadays sealing

is generally of rubber. It should be as per IS 15466-2004 “Rubber Seals for Hydraulic gates

– Specification” and it should be designed in accordance with IS 11855-2004 “Guidelines

for Design and use of different types of Rubber seals for hydraulic gates”..

Page 62: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

However care should be taken to take the friction coefficient of cladded seals in such a way that takes into account the wearing of cladded surface after repeated usage. Sometimes (for slide gates) metal seals are used which are generally of Brass or Bronze and are fixed to the gate leaf by countersunk screws of stainless steel or of same material

Page 63: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Design of Radial gate

Geometry of Gate:

1. Gate Sill Location

Gate sill is located downstream of crest and as close to the crest as possible to economise on

the height of gate and size of pier. Placement of hoist and bridge etc should also be

considered. As a general guideline sill may be placed at about 0.3 to 0.8 m below the crest.

Page 64: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

2. Radius of Gate

The radius of gate should be ideally between 1.0 times H to 1.25 times H. Where H is the

distance between top of gate and gate sill. However this guideline is for crest radial gate.

For top seal radial gate provided in sluices, consideration for placement of trunnion above

water level and for minimum hoisting effort also needs to be taken into account.

Page 65: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

3. Gate Trunnion;Trunnion is generally placed 1.5 m above the upper nappe of water along piers to preventdamage to trunnion due to floating debris and ice etc. However this guideline is for crestradial gate. For top seal radial gate provided in sluices, consideration for placement oftrunnion above water level and for minimum hoisting effort also needs to be taken intoaccount.

Page 66: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

4. Location of hoist.

If the radial gate is operated with rope drum hoist. The hoist may be located upstream or downstream. Upstream location of rope drum hoist involves less hoisting effort but its connection with gate becomes inaccessible and should be designed for extra safety.

Downstream arrangement of hoisting involves more hoisting effort but the connection to gate is accessible and possible damage due to flowing debris etc is avoided.

Page 67: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Design of various components of Radial Gate

1. Skin Plate

Skin plate thickness is taken 1.5 mm more for account for corrosion.

For non panel construction: designed for bending across stiffeners or horizontal girder

For panel construction:

Designed for various end conditions as given in design code viz IS 4623 -

Page 68: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

2. Vertical Stiffeners or horizontal girders

Designed in the same way as in vertical lift gates.

Total number of horizontal girders should be

kept minimum to simplify fabrication and maintenance as more horizontal girder implies

more end arms which have to be accommodated in trunnion. As a general guidance the number of horizontal girders may be adopted as follows:

Page 69: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

a) For height of gate upto 8.5 m 2 Nos

b) For height of gate between

8.5 m to 12 m 3 Nos

c) For heights above 12 m 4 or more

3. Bracing for Horizontal girder:

Bracing for horizontal girders are designed as per shear force shared by bracing panels at

their locations.

Page 70: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

4. End Arms:

End arms may be straight or inclined to economize on horizontal girder. But in case of

inclined arms, lateral force has to be accounted for by provision of thrust block or trunnion tie beam. These are designed as columns for axial force and bending transmitted by horizontal girders.

Page 71: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

5. Trunnion hubs:

Trunnion hubs are designed as thick or thin cylinders subjected to internal pressure

generated by the resultant load on trunnion

6. Trunnion bushing

Trunnion bushing should be of Aluminum bronze or self lubricating type. Overall economy is to be considered before selecting a type of bushing.

Page 72: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

7. Anchorages

The anchorage system of the radial gate is provided for the transfer of water load through the gate trunnionto the piers or abutments. These may be of following types:

a) Bonded anchorages

b) Unbonded Anchorage

c) Combined Anchorage

d) Pre stressed Anchorage

Page 73: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Bonded anchorage:

Load transfer takes place in bond between the anchors and the concrete.

Unbonded anchorage:

Transfer takes place in bearing between the anchor girder and concrete.

Pre stressed anchorages are becoming popular.

Control Equipment for Hydraulic Gates

It is the equipment used for their operation.These have to be designed for safe and efficient operation of gates

Types of control equipment:1. Screw Hoist :Its limitation is hoisting capacity and inefficiency. it is used for very low head installation where a positive downward thrust is desired for closure of gate.

2. Rope Drum hoist:Downward positive thrust is not required for closure of gates and the gate is to close by its own weight

3. Chain Hoist:Drums are designed to accommodate the required length of rope.

Sprocket and chain is used in place of drum and rope

VERTICAL LIFT GATES These are gates that moves within a vertical groove incised between two piers The vertical lift gates used for controlling flow over the crest of a hydraulic structure are usually equipped with wheels, This type of gate is commonly used for barrages but is nowadays rarely used for dam spillways. Instead, the radial gates are used for dams. This is mostly due to the fact that in barrage spillways, the downstream tailwater is usually quite high during floods that may submerge the trunnion of a radial gate.

Cost Estimates for Gates, hoists &Embedded parts

Directly Proportional to the weight of gateFixed Wheel

Wg = K L1.5 * H1.75 ( K varies from 0.017 to 0.043 )We= 0.35 * WgWh = K * Capacity of hoist

Hoist Capacity = Wg + Friction + Lifting Beam + …Radial Gate

Wg = K L1.9 * H1.35 ( K varies from 0.018 to 0.031 )We= 0.35 * WgWh = K * Hoist capacityHoist Capacity = 0.75 to 1.5 times Gate weight

Hydrodynamic Loading

• When water flows past the gate at partial opening, hydrodynamic forces also occur which may be extreme in some cases causing vibration, cavitation, non-operability and sometimes even failure of gate. The gate has to be designed carefully for following factors.

• Gate Slot

• Gate lip

• Aeration (air demand)

Page 106: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Provision of Stoplogs

• Stoplogs usually 10% of total number of spillway bays is kept.

If the Stoplogs are required to be lowered in flowing water. In such cases, provision of emergency bulkhead gate may be provided.

Page 107: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Hoist Equipment

• Positive driven type hoist- Screw rod hoist, hydraulic hoist, Rock& Pinion type hoist.

• Loose driven type hoist- Rope hoist, chain hoist

• The capacity of the hoist depends on the weight of the gate leaf, weight of the moving parts, wheel and track friction, seal friction, hydraulic down pull etc.

Page 108: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Hoist Bridge

• Erection of the hoist bridge follows immediately after the completion of the radial gate steel work. Reference for the placement of the hoist bridge on the piers is again taken from the trunioncentre line.

• Incase of vertical lift gates the reference is the axis of the drum and also the hoist bridge should be installed properly with reference to the centre of gravity of the gate or according to E.M. parts already fixed.

Page 109: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Manual operation

• The manual operation should invariably be provided for emergency operation in the event of electric power failure.

• Electric inter-locks shall be provided to prevent operation by electric power when the manual drive is engaged.

Erection of Gates

• Erection of radial gate or a vertical lift gate, dry sill is an essentiality.

• An erectors job is basically divided into 3 parts-(i)those parts which are to be embedded (ii) the gate (iii) lifting mechanism.

• Though the electro-mechanical (E.M) parts may look insignificant either in size/ weight or in money value in relation to the more visible portion of the gate, the real success in the gates performance will depend on the accuracy with which E.M parts are erected.

Rubber Seals

• Rubber seals are the last items to be fitted to the skin plate before painting the steel work is taken up.

• Normally the rubber seals are considered to be the most effective way to make the gates watertight. Sometimes metal cladded seals are also used (i) to reduce frictional load (ii) to prevent the seal from extruding or being jammed into the clearance space available between the calmp bar and the seal plate due to the venturi action of the water when the gate is being closed under unbalanced head.

Testing of the gates after erection

• The gate should be tested preferably in dry condition with hoist duly connected for its smooth working.

• The gate should move up and down and it should be ensured that there is no obstruction and no undue effort required for its operation. If the gate is not going down on its own weight or found tight in some position reasons should be investigated and remedied instead of forcing the gate down.

Periodical Check-up

• Periodical maintenance has to be arranged for the different parts of the gates and hoists depending upon their wear and tear and accessibility,

• Generally period of maintenance is recommend for every three months, six months and one year for the different parts.

• A chart has to be prepared for strict adherence.

Page 119: HYDRO MECHANICAL DESIGN - aphrdi.ap.gov.inAPHRDI/AEEs/Bapatla... · •Load on concrete Structure ... Wheel Pin : Checked in bending & shear Wheel : Contact stress ... Gate Slot b.

Periodical Check-up

• After every 25 operations or 3 months whichever occurs first.

• Check up and ensure that all electrical connections are tight and in order.

• Check up the wire rope for any cut strands, corrosion, abrasion etc., throughout the length of wire rope.

• Spares to be Maintained: complete set of rubber seals for one gate, bolts and nuts required for fixing one set, HR Fuse units (fuse wire-5A,10A,15A each 3 Pcs.) and, Motor
