Question: 7 . 4 . A hydraulically short horizontal culvert is to be placed at the end of a drainage channel to pass a peak flow

7.4. A hydraulically short horizontal culvert is to be placed at the end of a drainage channel to pass a peak flow rate of 1m3s under a roadway. The allowable ponding depth in the drainage channel leading to the culvert is 1m. The culvert is to be made of (commercial size) circular concrete pipe that is square to the headwall, and the minimum allowable culvert diameter is 150mm. Use the applicable NIST equation to determine the required culvert diameter. How would the required diameter change if you used a grooved-end culvert entrance instead of a square-edged entrance? How would this design compare to using the appropriate non-NIST equation. What conclusion can you draw from your analysis?
