Determine the culvert size (i.e. diameter, D) required for the following design conditions: culvert length of 60.0 m (this is not the horizontal distance, but the actual culvert barrel length), slope of 0.10, discharge of 2.50 m3/s, an unsubmerged outlet, and a submerged inlet with a headwater depth of 2.0 m above the culvert invert. The culvert will be corrugated metal (n= 0.024) constructed with a headwall and a square-edged entrance.

The peak discharge for a circular culvert was found to be 1.25 m^3/s. It has been determined that a water flow speed of 1.5 m/s is needed to maintain scour velocity. Calculate the approximate diameter of a circular culvert needed to carry the 1.25 m^3/s if the culvert is flowing at a depth 3/4 of the diameter. Assume that the flow in the culvert is not complex and water does not pond at either end of the culvert.
A concrete pipe culvert is to be constructed under road to carry a maximum discharge 9 m3 /sec. If the length of pipe culvert 10 m on slope 1/100, ?? = 0.5, ?? = 1, n = 0.018, ?? = 0.18. Find the diameter of the pipe.
an emergency spillway for a detention basin is constructed as a trapezoidal channel with bottom width of 3 m and side slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical lines with grass (n=0.040). The elevation of the crest of the emergency spillway is 150 m. The slope of the channel is 0.0080 m/m. Compute a chart showing the relationship between reservoir elevation and discharge into the channel
A storm drainage channel has the shape shown in Figure 5. It is made of unfinished concrete and has a slope of 0.5 percent. During normal times, water remains only in the small rectangular section. When there is a big rainfall, the upper section allows large volumes to be carried by the channel. a. Compute the hydraulic radius and normal discharge when the water depth is 0.50 m. b. Compute the hydraulic radius and normal discharge when the water depth is 2.50 m.
A 1.5 m diameter culvert (concrete barrel, well-rounded entrance) that is 20 m long is installed at a slope of 2%. The design discharge is 9.5 m^3/s and the inlet will be submerged but not the outlet (assume Type B culvert). Determine the depth that will result upstream (i.e. headwater depth, HW) during the design flood event. Hint: assume hL ACTUAL = hL ALLOW.
Develop a conceptual design for a trapezoidal concrete (Gunite, good section) channel that is sized to convey a design discharge of 50 m3 /sec. Evaluate the feasibility of constructing a channel with a bed slope of 0.005, a bed width of 3 m, and side slopes of 2:1. Determine the design flow depth. If the flow depth exceeds 2.0 m, the design will not be feasible. Comment on the feasibility of the design and, if necessary, discuss ways the channel might be modified to comply with the maximum flow depth of 2.0 m.

Read the question carefully and give me both a&b right solutions. A 1.3-m wide rectangular channel with a bed slope of 0.00019 has a depth of flow of 0.8m. Manning’s roughness coefficient is 0.017. (a) Can Manning’s equation be applied to this system (i.e., is the flow fully turbulent)? (b) Regardless of the answer to part a, determine the steady uniform discharge in the channel.
Show that for a hydraulically efficient rectangular channel, the flow depth is half the width of the channel. Using your answer, calculate the best hydraulic rectangular cross-section to convey Q=10m^3/s discharge with n=0.02 and S=0.0009 canal characteristics.
Four wells located at the corners of a square area with side length of 50 m are to be used to control the water table elevation below a construction site. If the saturated thickness of the aquifer at a fully penetrating stream 60 m from the near two wells is 30 m, calculate the minimum discharge (same for four wells) rate to maintain at least a drawdown of 6 m at the center of the construction site.
