Design a trapezoidal channel to pass a discharge of 10m3/s and the channel will be excavated through rock by blasting. The topography in the area is such that a bottom slope of 1 in 4000 will be suitable. Assume that n = 0.030 and select a value for the side slope, Z, as 1 horizontal to 4 verticals. Sketch the diagram for all calculated dimensions.

3. a) A trapezoidal open channel is being designed to convey a discharge of 11.0 m3/sec. The channel will be excavated into clay and will have the following properties: side slope of m = 1.5, the bottom slope of So = 0.001, Manning’s n = 0.022, and bottom width b = 1.0 m. For these conditions is there a risk of channel erosion? b) The earth-works contractor that will carry out the excavation suggests that the side slope angle can...
