Roller Steel Gate Design Guide

This document provides an example problem for designing steel gates for a regulator. It outlines the steps to: 1. Determine the type of gates needed based on the width of vents and maximum water height. For this problem, a double gate is required. 2. Design the I-beam structure, including calculating the average water pressure, required section modulus, and sketching how pressure is distributed across the beams. 3. Calculate the lifting force needed to open the gate, accounting for the gate's own weight and water pressure forces.

Design of the Controller Steel Gates


If the width of vents of a regulator is 6.0m and maximum height of water upstream gates is
4.00m, the following are required to design roller steel gates:-
1. Determine the type of the used gates.
2. Determine section modulus (Z) of steel beams of gate, (consider the lower channel beam).
3. Show by a sketch how the water pressure is divided equally on the steel beams of gate.
4. Determine the lifting force of the steel gate (own weight of gate 150 kg/m2, µ1= 0.15cm,
µ2 =0.20, d = 5cm, D=25cm).

1- Determining the type of gate

d = 4.0m
S = 6.0m
Assume single gate
Hg = d+0.30 = 4.30m
Lg = S+0.30 = 6.30m
Ag = 4.30*6.30 = 27.09 > 16m2 Use double –gate

Average Water Pressure on the lower gate, p = γ w (0.75 *d) hg

p = γ w (0.75 *4) 2.25 = 6.75 t/m
R R

Take (4-I beams) and consider the lower channel

4- Lifting force (T)


For roller gates, the lifting force (T),
F
T = G + (μ 1 + μ 2 r)
R
- μ 1 = 0.15 cm,
R R μ 2 = 0.20,
R R r = 2.50cm, R=12.50cm

G= γ g (hg * Lg )
R R tons (own-weight of gate)
G= 0.150 (2.25*6.30 ) = 2.13 tons

F= γ w (0.75 *d) hg * Lg
R R tons (total water pressure on the lower gate)

F= γ w (0.75 * 4)*2.25*6.30 = 42.525 tons


R R

42.525
T = 2.13 + (0.15 + 0.20 * 2.5) = 4.34 tons
