- Normal uplift pressure with gallery drain working
- Silt deposit up to 30 m height
- No wave pressure and no ice pressure
-Unit weight of concrete = 2.4 Ton/m³ and unit weight of silty water = 1.4 Ton/m³
- Submerged weight of silt = 0.9 Ton/m³
- Coefficient of friction = 0.65 and angle of repose = 25°
