Culvert Tutorial Problem PDF

The document provides details for two tutorial problems calculating suitable culvert sizes. Problem 1 gives data to calculate a pipe culvert size under outlet control, including flow rate, lengths, and water level details. Problem 2 uses the same data to calculate a box culvert size under outlet control and check outlet velocity.

TUTORIAL PROBLEMS

Problem 1 PIPE CULVERT (Outlet control)

Given the following data calculate a suitable pipe size and check the outlet
velocity for the possibility of erosion.

Step 1 : Data
Flow Q = 0.5 m3/s
Culvert length, L = 120m
Natural waterway invert levels : inlet R.L. = 100.0m
: outlet R.L. = 99.0m
Acceptable upstream flood level : R.L. = 103.0m

Desirable road pavement level : R.L. = 102.5m


Minimum height of road above headwater level : 0.5m
Required freeboard : Nil
Estimated downstream tailwater level : R.L. = 100.5m
Maximum headwater height, HW, is the lesser of:
iii) Maximum practical culvert height: 102.5– 0.5 – 100.0 = 2.0m, and
iv) Acceptable u/s flood level 103.0 – 100.00 = 3.0m
Therefore Maximum HW = 2.0m

Problem 2 BOX CULVERT (Outlet control)

Step 1 : Using the same data as provided for the previous pipe culvert calculate a
suitable box culvert size and check for the effects of the outlet velocity.
