Tutorial Chapter 4

1. Design a stone masonry hydraulically efficient triangular lined channel with roughness
coefficient n = 0.017 to pass design discharge of 5 m3/s on a slope of 0.001.

2. Design a brick masonry cement plaster hydraulically efficient rectangular lined channel
with roughness coefficient n = 0.014 to pass design discharge of 7.5 m 3/s on a slope of
0.001.

3. Use Kennedy’s theory to design an earthen trapezoidal channel having side slope ½: 1
(H:V) with channel roughness coefficient n = 0.0225 to pass design discharge of 14 m 3/s
on a slope of 1/5000. Use critical velocity ratio m = 1.0

4. Use Lacey’s silt theory to design an earthen unlined trapezoidal channel having side slope
of 1/2:1 (H: V) to carry discharge of 25 m3/s. The mean particle diameter of the channel
bed and side material is of size 0.12 mm.

5. The slope of a channel in alluvium soil is 1/5900. Find the channel section and the
maximum discharge which can be allowed to flow in it. Take Lacey’s silt factor f=1, the
channel is of trapezoidal section having side slope ½:1 (H: V).

6. A canal is to be designed to carry a discharge of 56 cumes. The slope of the canal is 1 in


1000. The soils is coarse alluvium having a grain size of 5 cm, Assuning the canal to be
unlimited and of a trapezoidal section, determine a suitable section for the canal Ф may
be taken as 37°. PU 2019
Note: Use Kennedy formulae
Assume Kutter coefficient = 0.0225, coarser silt or debris of hard soil m=1.30

7. An irrigation channel has a bottom width 8 m and side slope of 1.5H: 1V in cutting and
2H: 1V in filling. The width of the crest of bank is 2m and its height above the ground level
is 3m. Compute the balancing depth and draw a neat x-section of the canal illustrating
the various dimension and level it.

8. Design an trapezoidal irrigation channel to carry 56.63 cumecs of discharge with B/D ie
base width to depth ratio as 11.3 and side slope 0.5:1. The critical velocity ratio is 1.3.
Assume a suitable value of Kutter’s rugosity coefficient.

9. Design an irrigation channel to carry 50 cumecs of discharge. The channel is to be laid at


a slope of 1 in 4000. Take CVR= 1.12.
10. What do you mean by economics of lining? Explain with mathematical formula. What is
Lacey’s perimeter? Derive the relation for this parameter with discharge, P=4.75√𝑄 .

11. Derive the relation among slope, silt factor and discharge from Lacey’s theorem.

12. An irrigation channel having a full supply level of 4 m above the existing ground level
provided with banks 3 m wide at top. The side slopes are 2H: 1V and the slope of the
hydraulic gradient line through the bank soil is 5:1. Assuming a free board of 1m, calculate
the minimum width and height of counter berm needed to ensure that the seepage of
water does not pose any problem for the safety of the canal banks.
