Example Problem #2 (English Units)<br />

A new culvert at a roadway crossing is required to pass a 50-year flow rate <strong>of</strong> 300 ft³/s. Use the<br />

following site conditions:<br />

ELhd: 110 ft based on adjacent structures<br />

Shoulder Elev: 113.5 ft<br />

Elevation <strong>of</strong> Stream Bed at Culvert Face: 100.0 ft.<br />

Natural Stream Slope: 2 percent<br />

Tailwater Depth: 4.0 ft<br />

Approximate Culvert Length: 250 ft<br />

<strong>Design</strong> a reinforced concrete box culvert for this installation. Try both square edges and 45degree<br />

beveled edges in a headwall. Do not depress the inlet (no FALL).<br />
