Question

Your engineering firm has been hired as a consultant to evaluate engineered channels to replace an existing natural stream. The existing channel has a length of 1.2 miles with an average bedslope of0.0042ft/ft. Thedesign flowfor this channel is2,250 cfs.The client requests that you conduct a feasibility study to replace the natural stream with a concrete-linedchannel. Base your design on the best hydraulic section and select two of the following section shapes to evaluate:rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, and half-circularsections.Provide a freeboard of at least 10% of the flow depthat design discharge. Subcritical flowis preferredin the engineered channel. After completing the design of the channel, perform an extreme event analysis by determining the normal depth for a flow of twice the design flow. Discuss ifflooding is an issue for this extreme event.
