Question: A trapezoidal channel is designed as the main hydraulic structure to carry Q = 8 . 0 m 3 s at S 0 = 0

A trapezoidal channel is designed as the main hydraulic structure to carry Q=8.0m3s at S0=0.0012,n=0.017, and m=1.0. The unit cost of the base lining material and side-lining material are respectively $40 per m2, and $45 per m2. The combined cost of the corner materials is $8.0 per meter. [25 Marks]
2.1 Proportion the canal section using the minimum lining cost approach, (Note: No need to check for flow velocity and Froud Number).[15 Marks]
2.2 Determine the total cost of the concrete lining if Freeboard is Fb=0.75m.[10 Marks]
A trapezoidal channel is designed as the main
