Example #3:
A circular concrete pipe culvert has a diameter of 36 in., a length of 100 ft, and
a slope of 0.50 percent, as illustrated in Figure below. The invert of the culvert
will match the channel bottom elevation, which is 125.30 ft at the upstream end.
Assuming that the culvert operates under inlet control, use nomograph
(attached) to estimate the headwater elevations corresponding to discharges of
30 and 60 cfs. The culvert inlet consists of a headwall with a square edge at the
barrel entrance.
