Question: Road A is located parallel to River S , and it cuts one of its tributaries at point M as in Figure 1 . A

Road A is located parallel to River S, and it cuts one of its tributaries at point M as in Figure 1. A 50 m long pipe culvert crossing is to be used to allow the passage of water below the pavement at pointM. The area is at Dunedin and the rainfall intensity - duration-frequency results is in table 3.a. Given the runoff coefficient c=0.3, calculate the peak discharge (*) for the culvert at M for flood with an Annual Recurrence Interval of 50 years.b.The pavement is at RL=58 m and the minimum height of pavement above head water is 1 m.Assuming the flow through the culvert (headwall with socket end) is based on inlet control, find the size of pipe culvert to be used. (suggested trial sizes of 1.2 m,1.5 m, and 1.8 m).The inlet control monograph is in Figure 2.c. After exiting from the culvert, the water will flow along a 150 m reinforced concrete drain before discharge into the River S. The drain is 3m wide and with a freeboard of 0.2m, find the size of RC drain to be used, given that the Mannings coefficient n=0.013.
