A bridge is placed in a long rectangular channel. The channel width
upstream (us) and downstream (ds) from the bridge is B=3.5m.
The flow rate in the channel is 15m3s, the channel bed slope is
1%, and the Manning roughness coefficient is n=0.014.
What is the critical depth us from the bridge?
What is the us channel's normal depth? Is it subcritical or
supercritical flow?
What is the minimum channel width such that the usWL is
not influenced for this discharge?
A bridge is placed in a long rectangular channel.
