Computer-Assisted Design of Diversion Weirs
A diversion weir is a headwork facility built across a river to raise water level and to divert water for various purposes, such as irrigation, hydropower generation, etc. In this study, a Windows-based, visual, and user friendly program named WINDWEIR is developed in Visual Basic.NET programming language for the optimum design of a diversion weir with sidewise intakes. The methodology used in the program is developed with reference to the design guidelines reported in the literature and in accordance with the common engineering practice. The program determines the overall dimensions and the total cost of a diversion weir. It also performs stability analyses. The program is relatively flexible such that a design engineer can assess various dimensions of the structure by performing quick successive test runs to achieve an optimum solution among various alternatives. An application is presented to demonstrate the use of the program.
