A sluice gate controls flow in open channel. The flow of water is from aeration
tank to Mixer tank / Spliter box. Here two sections considered for the flow of
water ie; section 1 is for inflow to sluice gate and section 2 is for out flow from
sluice gate, Assume the flow is uniform and the pressure is hydrostatic.
Neglecting bottom friction and atmospheric pressure.
Two cases are considered for design of fixing arrangements ie; case1 Sluice gate
is fully closed and case 2 Sluice gate is partially closed

Case 4: Sluice gate is half closed (h2=h1x3/4)
Entire force for sluice gate is transfered finally through embeded chemical anchor. Water pressure
is perpendicular embeded anchor. Total force is checked for 4 number of bolt embeded anchor.
Embeded chemical anchor is designed using Hilti profis software.
