Transcribed Image Text:4- A moderately curved channel with a slightly rounded non-cohesive bed material with a
diameter of d50 = 25 mm carrying a discharge of 30 m³/s. The longitudinal slope of the
channel is 0.001 and the side wall slopes are designed to be 60% of the angle of repose of the
bed material
Note: Use the Strikler's formula to calculate Manning's value.
Use the Swammy and Mittal's formula to estimate the critical shear stress.
Use the free board depth of 0.5m.
a) Design the channel using the tractive force method for a Bo/y ratio of 20
b) Design the channel using the most efficient hydraulic section
c) Discuss about the channel stability and erosion for both designs in parts a and b
Strickler (Chow, 1959) proposed a correlation between the mean diameter of bed material, deo, and the
Manning's coefficient as:
n = 0.039d¹/6
Swamee and Mittal (1976) proposed an explicit equation to express the
Sheild's curve defined as:
T = 0.155+
