Q2) A trapezoidal wadi 3 m wide and 2:1 side slope is to cross a road at station 1+120. The drainage area is 50-hectare consisting of bare earth with steep slopes. A concrete box culvert is considered to drain the wadi assuming 15 minutes concentration-time and a 20-years return period.
Determine the minimum width of the culvert to the nearest 10 cm assuming one meter maximum culvert depth, two meter allowable headwater depth, 1% culvert slope (same as the Wadi slope at the area), 25 m culvert length and squared culvert edges with headwall parallel to the embankment

1. A new entrance road to the pump station will be constructed using crushed stone. The road is 675’ long, 27’ wide, and 18” thick. The road will be constructed using a dozer and self-propelled tamping foot roller. The dozer has a power-shit transmission and a rated blade capacity of 6 LCY and pushing a distance of 100 feet per cycle. Maximum reverse speed is 4 MPH. It will spread the rock in 6” lifts. The compactor will follow each spreading lift with 3 passes. The compactor width is 6 feet and speed per pass is 1.5 MPH. Job efficiency is assumed to be 50 minutes per hour for both operations.  How much crushed stone (rock) is required? (LCY)  How long will it take to spread the rock? (Hours)  How long should it take to compact the rock?(Hours)
