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.

A trapezoidal channel is to be designed through a silty clay alluvium on a slope of 0.0035 ft/ft. The angle of repose of the material is 35° and the Manning coefficient is 0.025. If the channel is to be designed to carry a maximum discharge of 700 cfs at a depth of 4.9 ft, determine if rip-rap will be required, and, if so, compute the stone size for both the bed and sides.

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...

A trapezoidal channel has a bottom width of 3.25 m and sides with a slope of 1 vertical to 1.5 horizontal. The slope of the bed is 1 in 2000 and the depth of water is 1.2 m. a) Using the Manning Formula with n = 0.025, calculate the velocity and the discharge rate of the flow. b) Calculate the Chezy number for the channel and use that to re- calculate the velocity and the discharge rate of the flow....

A 5 m wide rectangular channel carries a flow of 20 m3/s. The slope of the channel is 0.005 and the Manning’s n is 0.03. The flow encounters a 0.5 m step up that is 0.1 m long. The depths far upstream and downstream are normal. Classify this channel Qualitatively sketch this scenario, label gradually varied flow curves and provide appropriate depths. Draw this scenario on an E-Y cycle graph, and label all depth changes.
