FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Hydraulic Gates and Valves Sectional Committee had been approved by the Water Resources Division
Council.
The gate in general, is a structural steel frame consisting of end vertical girders with properly spaced horizontal
girders between them. The spacing depends on the design water pressure and on dimensions of the gate. The
frame is held a piece by secure welding or riveting. Skin plate protects the structural framework from damage
due to ice and heavy debris, minimizes downpull, reduces corrosion and facilitates maintenance. However, in
some cases as in the case of fixed wheel gates moving on track provided on the face of the dam, skin plate is
provided on the downstream side. In exceptional cases, skin plate is provided on both downstream side and
upstream sides, if the down stream water is above sill. In such cases, the gates maybe fully or partially buoyant.
In case of fully buoyant gates, buoyancy shall be taken into account in determining the net balance of vertical
forces and addition of ballast may be necessary to ensure lowering without difficulty. This problem is absent in
the case of flooded gates but greater care against corrosion becomes necessary. The wheels are mounted on the
cnd girders. The bottom of gate should be so shaped that satisfactory performance and freedom from harmful
vibrations are attained under all conditions of operation apart from minimizing downpull. A typical arrangement
of various components of gate is shown in Fig. 1.
This standard was first published in 1967 and was subsequently revised in 1978 and 1992 in the light of experience
gaillcd during the course of these years. The first revision incorporated a number of modifications, the prominent
among which were the revision of the permissible stresses, inclusion of tolerances and a typical solved example
in Annex E. The major changes incorporated in the second revision were the calculation of bending stresses in
flat plates, inclusion of formula for calculating the track plate thickness (wheel track with line contact and point
contact) and the criteria for determining the edge distance of the bearing flange of track base from groove face.
AS a result of increased use of the standard, suggestions have been received for fhrther modifying some of the
provisions of the standard, therefore, third revision of the standard is being brought out. In this revision, the
method of design of skinplate and stiffeners has been aligned with IS 4623:2000
Recommendations for structural
design of radial gates (third revision).
Provision for defreezing maybe made for trouble-free hoisting of gates in sub-freezing weather and shall be in
accordance with IS 10021 : 1981 Guidelines for de-icing systems for hydraulic installation (first revision).
The criteria laid down for the design of individual component maybe used for any other type of vertical lift gate
under similar condition.
In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to international co-ordination among the
standards and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in
this country.
For design of concrete and steel strictures general reference maybe made to the latest version of IS 456:2000
Plain and reinforced concrete Code of practice (third revision) and IS 800: 1984 Code of practice for
general construction in steel (second revision) respectively.
The Committee

responsible

for the formulation

of this standard is given in Annex J.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2:1960
Rules for rounding off numerical values (revise~. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

the bearing stress shall not exceed the values specified
in Annex B.

5.5.2.1 For regulating

gates, the designer at his
discretion may make the seals effective throughout the
range of the travel of gates either by fixing the seals to
the embedded parts or by providing a liner plate above
in continuation of the top seal seats for the entire width
of the gate and range of regulation.

5.4.5.1 For antifriction

roller bearings the outer
diameter of the roller bearing shall not exceed 0.6 times
the wheel diameter in case of point contact and 0.8

of the designer. Suitable chamfer shall be provided at
the bottom of the skin plate and clamp plate to
accommodate the bottom wedge seal in compressed
position (see IS 11855).

5.7.1 The wheel track shall provide a true and smooth

machined surface for the wheels to roll and transmit
the loads through the wheels to the track base.
5.7.2 The hardness of wheel track surface shall be kept
minimum 50 points Brinell Hardness Number (BHN)

applles to all components which generally do not have a sustained contact with water, for example, girders, stiffeners of skin plate, even
though there may be likelihood of their wetting due to occasional spray of water. Stop logs are stored above water level and are only
occasionally used, Hence, stresses given under dry and accessible conditions should be applied to them in accordance with S.2.7.

frequent use

accessible applies to gates which are kept in easily accessible locations and can, therefore, be frequently inspected and
for example, gates and stoplogs which are stored above water level and are lowered only during operations. The term
applies to gates which are kept below water level and/or are not easily available for frequent inspection and maintenance,
gates kept below water level or in the bonnet space even while in the raised position or gates which on account of their
are generally in water.

E-1 PROCEDURE

OF WHEEL FOR POINT CONTACT

are mounted and to allow for slight misalignment of

track surfaces, it is assumed that any wheel on one
side of the gate may not bear on the track for a short
distance of travel. This condition
will cause an
overload on some of the adjacent wheels which is
taken for design, with a factor of safet y of 2.0 over
the critical stress on projected area while for a normal
case, that is, all the wheels bearing evenly on the
tracks, the factor of safety shall be taken as 3.0. The
contact of all the rollers with the track can be ensured
if the gate is designed as semi-flexible with a number
of elements each fitted with only two wheels on either
side. The vertical girder in such construction
is
discontinuous.

E-1.l Knowing the water load on the gate, the procedure

for wheel design is as given in E-1.2 to E-1.5.
E-1.2 The design of the wheels is governed primarily
by the stress in the tread. The required projected area
of the tread, that is, the area represented by the product
of wheel diameter and net tread-width, is determined
by the following formula:
Critical stress of projected area in N / mm2
= (Brinell hardness number x O.169) -15.174
E-1.3 Owing to the necessarily extreme stiffness of
the vertical girders of the gate on which the wheels

15

IS 4622:2003
E-1.4 After diameter and net tread dimensions of wheel
have been suitably chosen from the above formula, the
stress may be analyzed with the help of Fig. 11 and
