Component parts of a weir ?

Body wall of the weir
Upstream solid apron
Apron on downstream side
Curtain walls on Upstream & Downstream
Talus on Upstream & Downstream
Shutter on the crest of weir

Body wall of the weir

It is a wall which is constructed to raise the water level on u/s
To raise water level on u/s
To resist water pressure
To resist uplift pressure

Upstream Solid Apron

Protect weir from erosive forces during floods
Length of apron depends upon discharge in river and length of weir
To prevent any leakage in the sub soil

Apron on Downstream Side

To reduce the kinetic energy of water
Length depends upon height of fall of water nature of soil discharge in river
Apron is extended up to the point where there is no scope for erosion
It Should have sufficient width to resist uplift pressure

Curtain walls on UpStream & DownStream

Upstream curtain wall
- To reduce uplift pressure
- Length depends on nature of sub soil
- To increase length of the creep
- To reduce exit gradient

Downstream curtain wall
- Protect downstream flow from uplift pressure.
- To resist kinetic energy of water increase length of creep

Shutters

Provide on the crest It can be raised during flood To resist water pressure
- Protect downstream flow from uplift pressure.
- To resist kinetic energy of water increase length of creep
