Standard radial gates are designed for a wide, clear waterway opening. These (or traitor) gate acts similar to a section of a drum. Pressure is transferred from the curved face through the horizontal support beams to the radial arms which is at the sides of the opening. The support beams act as columns and transfer thrust to a common bearing located on either side of the gate opening. Flow is underneath the curved face when the gate gets opened. This design results in a light in weight, economical gate that can be opened and closed with minimum work requirement and with comparatively small number of turns of the hand-wheel on the hoist. Glass fibers is used in manufacture of structural of wide range of special purpose product. In the case of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) have the same tendency due to the influence of reinforcement and its internal orientation in the layers (anisotropy). Hydraulic Gate radial gates are made with two types of installations. The first, and the most commonly used, is an overflow type. This gate is designed for 1 fit of water flowing over the top of the gate when the gate is in closed position. Adequate safety factors prevent damage to the gate if there is a moderate, additional overflow beyond that limit for a short period. The second type of radial gates employs the use of a breast-wall. This is a vertical concrete wall above the top of the gate opening , as a result there is an additional storage capacity in front of the gate. Most radial gates are “raise to open type” a variation is the “lower to open type”. This requires a weir wall for mounting a seal that must make contact with the curved face plate.
