Question: A concrete rectangular box culvert has a width of 1 . 0 m , height of 0 . 5 m and a length of 3

A concrete rectangular box culvert has a width of 1.0 m , height of 0.5 m and a length of 30 m with square-edged entrance conditions and free jet outlet flow.
Using the following data:
Manning's \(\mathrm{n}=0.013\); and \(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{d}}=0.62\)
1. Establish the stage (headwater level)-discharge relationship for the culvert with a Slope \(=1\) in 1000 for a range of head water level for investigation: \(0-3\mathrm{~m}\). Neglect the velocity of approach.
2. Establish the stage (headwater level)-discharge relationship for the culvert with a Slope \(=1\) in 100 for a range of head water level for investigation: \(0-3\mathrm{~m}\). Neglect the velocity of approach.
3. Plot the Performance Curve (Stages vs Discharge) for both Slope conditions.
4. Analyze the two (2) graphs (rising and falling stages).
5. Discuss the optimal suited application(s) for each slope condition.
