Sluice gate design 1

[msa661]

hi all...
i am new to this site and perhaps this is my first post...

i want to have your expert advices about a sluice gate design. i have attached a picture of that gate showing loadings and dimensions of gate. kindly guide me about its flexiure and shear design.

this gate is in a dam and fluid head has been calculated. kindly also highlight some critical issues which can possibly be faced...

Mainly hydrostatic pressure. Ask a hydraulist for characteristics of discharge (flow rate, velocity...)

We generally hire a speciality company like Rodney Hunt to design and fabricate sluice gates.

This site is not intended for engineers to drop off a sketch and come back and pick up a design.
Preposterous.

Where is the sluice gate? Looks more like a breakwater to me?

Confused !?

This looks more like a Howell-Bunger Valve than a sluice gate to me.
