CULVERT CAPACITY CHART PROCEDURE

GIVEN DATA:

A=12xSr.No
Cp=0.95
Cg=0.30
40% Area is paved
60% Area is Unpaved
Height of Embankment= Sr.No+20
Top Width of Embankment=Sr.No+50
𝑺𝒐 =1%=0.01
Side Slope=2:1
n=0.012
HW=10ft
I=3𝒊𝒏⁄𝒉𝒓
C=0.60
Sr.No=28

SOLUTION:
A=12x28=336 Acres
40% Area is Paved=336x0.4=134.4 Acres
60% Area is Unpaved=336x0.6=201.6 Acres
Height of Embankment=28+20=48ft
Top width of Embankment=28+50=78ft

1. Design Flow
Q=CIA
Q=I(CgAg+CpAp)
Q=3(0.3x201.6+0.95 x134.4)
Q=564.48 Cusecs

Figure: 54 Q value is not in the Graph so we Increase Diameter.

Try 66” Diameter Pipe

Figure: 55 Q value is not in the Graph so we Increase Diameter.

Try 72” Diameter Pipe

Figure: 56 HW=17.6feet HW is greater than the Allowable, Try another

Try 78” Diameter Pipe

Figure: 57 HW=13.8feet HW is greater than the Allowable, Try another

Try 84” Diameter Pipe

Figure: 58 HW=11.8feet HW is greater than the Allowable, Try another

Try 90” Diameter Pipe

Figure: 59 HW=10.4feet HW is greater than the Allowable, Try another

Try 96” Diameter Pipe

Figure: 60 HW=9.5feet HW is Less than the Allowable so it is ok

For Inlet Control HW=9.5feet

For Outlet Control

L=270feet Say 300feet
Q=564.48
𝑺𝒐 xL =0.01x300=3 Inlet Control Governs HW=9.5 feet
From Figure: 60
HW+𝑺𝒐 xL=10.2feet
HW+3=10.2
HW=10.2-3
HW=7.2feet

For Outlet Control HW=7.2feet
