Calculation For Hydrology BFC32002

1) The document provides calculations to design a trapezoidal drainage channel for a 37.07 acre commercial site after construction is finished. 2) Key results of the calculations include a normal flow depth of 1.191m, a critical depth of 1.084m, and dimensions of the trapezoidal channel shape. 3) A cost estimate of RM7,106 is provided for excavation and concrete lining of the 200m long channel based on unit costs.

CALCULATION

For after construction is finished, the site will turned to commercial place.
Calculation (after construction):

Qpeak=

CiA
360

DETAILS:
C=0.90, i=100m/h (duration for 30 minutes),
A= 37.07 acers
1 acers= 0.405 hectare (ha)
A=37.07 x 0.405 = 15.01335 acers
Qpeak=

( 0.90 ) (100)(15.01335)
360

= 3.75 m3/s

SUGGESTED DESIGN:

Shape : Trapezoidal shape


Lining : Concrete (rough finish)
Base : 0.8 m (since width cannot exceed 1m)
z: 0.5
Angle : 63.43
S0 : 0.005m

To design the shape and calculate the normal depth, we assume the Qpeak to be larger than
3.75 m3/s, which is 4 m3/s.

SELECTION OF S0
S0 = 0.005 m
x
=0.005 m
1000

x = 5 m for every 1000 m drop.

Gradient = 5
Gradient =

y0 y1
x0 x 1

Tan = 5
Tan-1 (5) =
= 78.69
The water is able to flow since the angle is greater than 10.

Thus, the height of design must exceed 1.191m.

BEFORE AND DURING CONSTRUCTION


We assumed the construction site is a forest cover, based on our observation on the topographical
map.

Thus, this channel will able to carry both flow, before and after construction. There will be no
spillways occur at the drain.

Assuming the discharge is 4m3/s;


y0 = 1.19m

FIND CRITICAL DEPTH


Ac = Byc + zyc2
Ac = 0.8yc + 0.5yc2

Tc = B + 2yz
Tc = 0.8 + (2)(0.5)z

Emin = 1.084+ (2)(9.81)(1.4547)2

Assuming H is 50% from the height of the drain :


H = (0.5)(1.2) = 0.6m
Hmin = E0 - Emin
= 1.48576 1.4694
= 0.0164 m
H Hmin = 0.6 0.016

Backflow of water will happen


The sediment must not exceed 0.0164m or else backflow of water will happen.

ESTIMATION OF COST
Assuming the length of the channel is 200m, the excavation cost is RM 4/m3 and lining cost is
RM5/m2.
Volume of excavation = Area channel x Length
= 1.68 m2 x 200
= 336 m3
Cost excavation = 336 x RM4 = RM1344

Area of lining = Perimeter channel x Length


= (0.5 + 0.8 + 0.5 + 0.8 + 2(1.581)) x (200)
= 1152.4 m2
Cost lining = 1152.4 x RM5 = RM 5762

Total cost = RM 1344 + RM 5762 = RM7106

JUSTIFICATION OF DESIGN
Q=AV
Q= 4m3/s, A=1.66m2
V=2.41m/s

For recommended limit velocity, since we are using hard lined channel, the limit velocity is
4m/s

Vdesign<Vrecommended limit
Thus, the flow in the channel does not exceed the recommended limit.
