OPEN CHANNEL – WSP Computations
2) A 500-ft long, 6-ft diameter reinforced concrete pipe culvert (n =0.012) is used to convey stormwater
from a detention reservoir to a downstream flood control channel. The slope of the culvert is 0.02.
The culvert outlet is placed at an elevation so that it will not be submerged and the flow falls freely from
into the flood control channel. Assume the appropriate boundary condition location has a water depth
equal to critical depth.
For a discharge of 230 cfs, compute the WSP using a spreadsheet. Use a increment of 0.1 feet.
