Highway Drainage

Highway drainage is the process of extracting and regulating the excess surface water on the pavement by giving the desired slope. The construction of a highway drain helps to divert the water present on the surface, and sub-grade by the means of slope. Highway drainage systems are a necessary part of smooth functioning of traffic, since the highway drainage systems provide proper disposal of unwanted substances from the highways.

10 In a channel of rectangular cross section with a slope of 1 in 1000, the discharge is to be 1,4 m³/s when the channel is running full. Its depth is half as its breadth. If the channel is roughly excavated, the coefficient of discharge C is 27 in SI units, and the Chezy formula is V = C √(Rs). If the bottom and side slopes are finished smoothly, C = 81 (R = hydraulic radius, s = slope) Assuming the cost of excavation /m³ is twice the cost of smooth finishing /m² Compare the costs of the two types of channels.
The ratio between discharge and top width of a best hydraulic rectangular channel is 91/50, calculate the depth of the water and the channel width if the bed slope is 1/ 3000 and Chezy coefficient; C = 50.
