Question: A 4 5 0 m m diameter culvert has been designed to convey a discharge of Q = 0 . 5 5 m 3 s

A 450mm diameter culvert has been designed to convey a discharge of Q=0.55m3s of
storm-water under a residential road. The culvert is 37.5m long and has a slope of 1.3%. The
downstream flow depth was obtained as 0.35m from a hydraulic analysis. You are required
to determine:
1.1 the head required to convey the discharge through the culvert at full flow conditions;
(a) If concrete pipe is used with a Manning's roughness coefficient of n=0.0155 with an
inlet headwall of socket type.
(b) If corrugated steel pipe is used with a Manning's roughness coefficient n=0.024 with
an inlet headwall of square edge design.
1.2 What is the corresponding headwater depth in 1.1(a) and (b) above?
A 4 5 0 m m diameter culvert has been designed to
