Question
The 100-year flood for the compound channel shown in Problem 1 is 300 m3/s. Determine the normal flow depth in tne main channel for the 100-year flood.

Transcribed Image Text:The diagram illustrates a soil profile with two distinct layers, separated by a horizontal boundary. It's a cross-sectional view often used in geotechnical engineering to analyze soil characteristics.
**Description:**
- The bottom layer is labeled with depth \( h_1 \) and width \( b_1 \).
- The upper layer is labeled with depth \( h_2 \), with a total width of \( b_2 \).
- The vertical distance \( Z \) represents the depth from the surface to the point of interest in the lower layer.
- An inverted triangle symbol denotes the potential or surface indicator at the top of the upper layer.
This illustration is commonly used to represent a soil stratigraphy where different layers have distinct properties such as permeability, compaction, or load-bearing capacity. Understanding these parameters is crucial for construction, excavation, and environmental studies.
