3. A culvert with a headwall is to be laid through a road embankment at the natural stream slope of 0.004. The inlet invert is set at an elevation of 20.5 m and the maximum allowable headwater elevation is 23.0 m. The length of the culvert is100 m and the tailwater elevation is 22.0 m. Check to see whether a 1500 mm (width) by 1200 mm (depth) twin box culvert is sufficient to allow a design discharge of 6.0 m³/s to pass through the culvert. If so, sketch the most likely flow conditions at the inlet and outlet of the culvert.

Q4) A rectangular open channel of width 3.0 m carries a discharge of 2.5 m3/s at an average velocity of 0.6 m/s.

There is a rectangular channel that will be excavated downstream of a dam after a stilling basin both with a width of 15 meters. The depth of the wather flow upstream of the dam is 4.27 meters and the discharge flow above the dam is 112.5 cubic meters per second. the channel wil be excavated in earth and n = .o25 and maintains a uniform flow depth under a subcritical flow regime. I need to determine 1. the bottom channel slope needed in the downstream channel and 2. the length of the stilling basin if the dissipation stucture starts at dissipated along the structure. The design should consider that the flow depth at the end of the still basin is similar to the flow depth in the channel. For a more realistic approach in the design, the head loss between the station upstream of the dam and the station at the beginning of the still basin is 10% of the velocity head observed at the beginning of the basin

A trapezoidal channel with sidewalls of 60 degrees has a bottom width of 4 m at total depth of 5 m and has a constant bedslope of 0.005. A flow of 40 m3/s fills the channel to a depth of 3.5 m, the maximum for normal operation. Downstream a topographic constriction requires that the channel be rectangular with a maximum width of 4 m. Assuming no changes in materials and no energy losses, estimate the depth in the downstream rectangular section and recommend a total depth for the rectangular channel.
