Design a gravity spillway with an upstream face sloping at 3V:2H and a crest width of 35 meters. This spillway must manage a 100-year flood flow of 602 cubic meters per second. Ensure the safety of nearby communities by maintaining the upstream water surface at a design discharge elevation of 856 meters, with the reservoir bottom at 850 meters. Downstream, the spillway feeds into a 35-meter-wide stilling basin at an elevation of 842 meters, which transitions to a culvert under a railway line.
Develop and present detailed profiles for the spillway crest, face, and the transition arc leading to the stilling basin. Design the stilling basin and determine its length. The culvert, downstream of the stilling basin, is made of multiple uniform rectangular concrete barrels with entrance characteristics K=0.061, M=0.75, c=0.042, Y=0.80 and an entrance loss coefficient k=0.6. The culvert spans 75 meters in length on a 5% slope.
Calculate the required quantity and dimensions of the rectangular barrels to ensure that the headwater elevation remains below the water depth downstream of the hydraulic jump in the stilling basin. Note that a barrel height should be 60% of its width. Furthermore, give an allowance of 200mm for the concrete thickness of each barrel. Assume a Manning roughness for the concrete culverts of 0.018 and a tailwater elevation of 0.8 meters.
