c. Example Problem #2 (SI Units). From example problem no. 4, Chapter III, an existing 2134<br />

mm by 2134 mm concrete box culvert was originally designed for a 50-year flood <strong>of</strong> 16.990 m 3 /s<br />

and an ELhd <strong>of</strong> 34.747 m. Upstream development has increased the 50-year run<strong>of</strong>f to 28.317<br />

m 3 /s.<br />

Given:<br />

Inlet Invert Elevation: 30.480 m<br />

Existing Entrance Condition: Square edge<br />

Barrel Slope (S): 5 percent<br />

Roadway Centerline Elevation: 35.204 m<br />

Culvert Length: 60.960 m<br />

Requirements: In order to save the existing culvert barrel, design a new side-tapered inlet that<br />

will pass the new 50-year run<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> 28.317 m 3 /s at the original ELhd <strong>of</strong> 34.747 m. The sidetapered<br />

inlet will be constructed upstream <strong>of</strong> the existing barrel. Prepare outlet control, throat<br />

control, and face control performance for the new inlet.<br />

Note: Charts 14A, 15A, 57A, and 58A, are used in this solution.<br />
