A hydrological analysis was completed for a basin above a proposed roadway and culvert crossing on SR 530. The analysis found that the 25-year flow event was 300 cfs and the 100-year flow event was 390 cfs . In the vicinity of the round culvert, the preferable roadway profile would place the centerline at elevation 1,530 feet, about 10 feet higher than the existing channel bottom. The tailwater depth was found to be 5 feet during the 25 year flow event and 5.5 feet during the 100-year flow event. Also, there are no fish passage concerns at this location. Assume that the culvert will be 100 ft long and will match the existing channel slope of \(0.005\mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{ft}\)\((0.5\%)\). Determine the culvert size, and calculate the controlling headwater elevation and corresponding outlet velocity for both the 25- and 100-year events.
Assumptions:
- Culvert will be circular and concrete
- Headwater to diameter ratio will be \(\) or \(=1.25\) for the 25-year flow
- Culvert end will be left projecting out of the fill since the culvert ends will be out of the clear zone
