Question

Use Table C-4 for the following: 

a. A rectangular channel is 4 m wide and has a longitudinal slope of 0.002. The channel is poured concrete and it is discharging a uniform flow at 25 m3/s. What is the normal depth? Use Table C-4 for the roughness coefficient.


b. A trapezoidal channel is designed for a uniform flow of 170 cfs. The channel has 8 ft bottom width and a side slope of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical. If the channel longitudinal slope is 0.001, what will be the normal depth? The channel material is asphaltic concrete. Use Table C-4 for the roughness coefficient.

(1) For air blown concrete, use n=o.012 (if troweled) and n=0.025 if purposely roughened.
Note: For channels with revetments or multiple lining types, use composite Manning roughness coefficient
based on component lining materials.
