4. Determine the AEP

AEP:Because it is a longitudinal drainage channel alongside a major road, thus it can
be regarded as kerb and channel flow of major road according to table 7.3.1, thus the
ARI is 10, while the AEP is 10%.

AEP:it can be regarded as kerb and channel flow of major road according to table
7.3.1, thus the ARI is 10, while the AEP is 10%.
Task 4 (~50%):

At the intersection of the above-mentioned road and the channel, a culvert system
(longitudinally shown in Figure 3) is required. Design the configuration of the
required standard box culvert(s) and provide the drawings 2 based on the information
given below. As a summary of your calculation steps, fill the relevant parts of the
attached design calculation form and insert in after the last calculation in this part.
The road width is 11 m, its crown elevation is 125.65 m and its cross fall (cross road

slope) is 3.5%. The Allowable Headwater (AHW) is 17 cm below the shoulder height
to avoid any potential damage. The inlet invert height is 122.85 m. Downstream of the
culvert, maximum allowable velocity is 1.7 m/s. The culvert is 27 m long and needs to
be made of reinforced concrete with a height limit of 1.7 m. The culvert entrance type
is square edged with 70o wingwall flare and there is no chance of blockage. What do
you recommend for the downstream protection? Provide the details if a protection is
required. Furthermore, check your design for an extreme event (AEP=1%) with 10%
more discharge. Pros and cons of the design option need to be discussed.
