This document discusses theories for designing weirs on permeable foundations to prevent failures from seepage. It describes Bligh's creep theory, Lane's weighted creep theory, and Khosla's theory. Bligh's theory calculates creep length and floor thickness but does not distinguish horizontal from vertical creep. Lane's theory assigns higher weight to vertical creep. Khosla's theory accounts for pressure distributions and recommends cut-offs and aprons. It is commonly used but requires corrections for floor thickness, pile interference, and slope. Inverted filters and launching aprons are also discussed.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Causes of Failures of Weirs on Permeable
Foundations
2. Find Uplift Pressure and Thickness of Floor using
Bligh’s Creep Theory
Lane’s Weighted Creep Theory
Khosla’s Theory
Application of Correction Factors
3. Launching Apron
5. Causes of Failures of Weirs on Permeable Foundations
Causes of Failure:
1. Due to Seepage or Sub-surface Flow
a) Piping or Undermining
b) Rupture of Floor by Uplift Pressure
2. Due to Surface Flow
a) By Suction due to Hydraulic Jump
b) By Scour on the u/s and d/s of the weir
6.
7. Design of Impervious Floor
Directly depended on the possibilities of percolation in porous subsoil
Water from upstream percolates and creeps (or travel) slowly through weir base
and the subsoil below it.
The head lost by the creeping water is proportional to the distance it travels (creep
length) along the base of the weir profile.
The creep length must be made as big as possible so as to prevent the piping
action. This can be achieved by providing deep vertical cut-offs or sheet piles
1. Bligh’s Creep Theory (1912)
2. Lane’s Weighted Creep Theory (1932)
3. Khosla’s Theory (1936)
8. Bligh’s Creep Theory (1912)
Assumptions:
1. Hydraulic Gradient is constant throughout the impervious length of the apron.
2. Creep Length is the sum of horizontal and vertical creep.
3. Stoppage of percolation by cut off or sheet pile possible only if it extends up to
impermeable soil strata.
11. Bligh’s Creep Theory (1912)
Design Criteria:
a) Safety against Piping
Safe Creep Length, L = C.H
where C = Coefficient of Creep = 1/c
b) Safety against Uplift Pressure
Floor Thickness,
where
h = Ordinate of Hydraulic Gradient Line measures above the top of floor

DESIGN
15. Bligh’s Creep Theory (1912)
Limitations:
1. No distinction between horizontal and vertical creep.
2. Holds good so long as horizontal distance between the pile lines is greater than
the twice their depth
3. Did not explain about Exit Gradient
4. No distinction between outer and inner faces of sheet piles or the intermediate
sheet piles, whereas from investigation it is clear that the outer faces of the end
sheet piles are much more effective than inner ones.
5. Losses of head does not take place in the same proportions as the creep length.
Also the uplift pressure distribution is not linear but follow a sine curve
6. Bligh does not specify the absolute necessity of providing a sheet pile at
downstream which is essential to prevent undermining or piping.
16. Lane’s Weighted Creep Theory (1932)
From the analysis of 200 dams all over the world, Lane’s concluded that horizontal
creep is less effective in reducing uplift than vertical creep. Therefore, he suggested
a factor of 1/3 for horizontal creep against 1 for the vertical creep
Assumptions:
1. Slopes steeper than 450 are taken as Verticals (d)
2. Slopes less than 450 are taken as Horizontals (l)
Creep Length:
Safe Creep Length, L = C.H
17.
18. Khosla’s Theory (1936)
After studying a dam failures constructed based on Bligh’s theory, Khosla came out
with the following;
1. Outer faces of end sheet piles were much more effective than the inner ones
and the horizontal length of the floor.
2. Intermediated piles of smaller length were ineffective except for local
redistribution of pressure.
3. Undermining of floor started from tail end.
4. It was absolutely essential to have a reasonably deep vertical cut off at the
downstream end to prevent undermining.
21. Khosla’s Theory (1936)
Special Cases:
Straight horizontal floor of negligible thickness with
1. Pile at upstream ends.
2. Pile at downstream end.
3. Pile at intermediate points.
4. Depressed below the bed
(with no cutoff)
22.
23. Where
b = Length of weir foundation
d = depth of pile
Φ = Percentage of Pressure at a
given point
H = Height of Water
Example:
PD = (ΦD /H) 100
26. Khosla’s Theory (1936)
Most designs do not confirm to elementary profiles (specific cases). In actual cases,
we may have a number of piles at upstream level, downstream level and
intermediate points and the floor also has some thickness.
Method of independent variable:
This method consists of breaking up a complex profile into a number of simple
profiles. The pressures obtained at the key points by considering simple profile are
then corrected for the following:
1. correction for the thickness of floor
2. correction for mutual interference of piles
3. correction for slope of the floor.
31. Inverted Filter and Launching Apron
Inverted Filter:
An inverted filter is provided immediately at the end of d/s impervious apron to
relieve the pressure.
Approximate length is 1.5 d2
Launching Apron:
After the inverted filter, a launching apron is provided to protect the d/s pile from
scour holes progressing in the u/s direction.
Approximate length is 2.5 d2
A similar launching apron is provided to the u/s side with a length equal to 2d1
