Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

The peak discharge was found to be 0.706 m3 /s. It has been determined that a water flow speed of 1.5 m/s is needed to maintain scour velocity. Calculate the approximate diameter of a circular culvert needed to carry 0.706 m3 /s if the culvert is flowing half-full. А) 1.1 m B 1.3 m 0.6 m D 0.8 m
The peak discharge for a circular culvert was found to be 1.25 m^3/s. It has been determined that a water flow speed of 1.5 m/s is needed to maintain scour velocity. Calculate the approximate diameter of a circular culvert needed to carry the 1.25 m^3/s if the culvert is flowing at a depth 3/4 of the diameter. Assume that the flow in the culvert is not complex and water does not pond at either end of the culvert.
