L T P/D Cr<br />
3 0 2 5<br />
Module I<br />
Dams-Gravity dams, arch dams, buttress dam, forces acting on dam-theoretical and practical pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> gravity<br />
dam-low dam, high dam-stability <strong>of</strong> dam-stress in elementary pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> gravity dam. Function <strong>of</strong> shafts,<br />
galleries, keys and water seal.<br />
Arch dams-types, forces acting-design methods (Thin cylinder theory only)-Earth dam-Types-criteria for safe<br />
design-causes <strong>of</strong> failure. Spillways-Different types (Design not necessary).<br />
Module II<br />
Diversion head works, layout, functions <strong>of</strong> components-cause <strong>of</strong> failure <strong>of</strong> weirs on permeable soils- Bligh’s<br />
theory-design <strong>of</strong> vertical weir-Khosla’s theory <strong>of</strong> independent variables-use <strong>of</strong> Khosla’s charts and Blench<br />
curves.<br />
Cross drainage works-different types-Canal falls-classification (brief description only).<br />
Module III<br />
Design and drawing emphasizing the hydraulic aspects <strong>of</strong> the following structures:<br />
1. Aqueduct 2.Syphon aqueduct 3.Canal Syphon 4.Notch type canal fall 5.Sarda type fall 6.Canal regulators<br />
(Khosla’s theory)<br />

Question paper:Duration: 4 hrs<br />
The question paper consists <strong>of</strong> Part A , Part B and Part C<br />
Part A(Compulsory) is for 20 marks(4x5) covering the entire syllabus<br />
Part B is for 20 marks covering modules I and II. There will be 2 questions from each module. The candidate<br />
has to answer one question <strong>of</strong> 10 marks from each module<br />
Part C is for 60 marks covering module III. Candidate has to answer one out <strong>of</strong> two questions from this part.<br />
The question consists <strong>of</strong> design and drawing parts.<br />
In the drawing part maximum <strong>of</strong> two views only be asked.<br />
Khosla’s charts and Blench curves are permitted.<br />
Note: No other charts, tables, codes are permitted in the Examination hall .If necessary the same shall be given<br />
along with the question paper by the question paper setter.<br />
