Assignment 3
Assigned: Thursday 30/03/17
Due: Tue 18/4/17 (in class)

Q1: Using Kennedy’s theory, design an earthen channel section for the following:
Discharge, Q = 14 cumecs
Kutter’s N = 0.0225
Critical Velocity Ratio, m = 1
Side Slope of Channel, 1H:1V
Channel Bed Slope, S = 5000H:1V

Q2: Design an earthen channel section and the maximum flow that can be allowed in the channel if
the bed slope of channel in alluvium is S=1/5000. Assume Lacey’s silt factor (f) equal to 0.9 and side
slope ½H:1V.

Q3: Using Garret’s Diagrams, design an earthen channel section for data given in Q1. Also attach the
Garret’s Diagrams showing the values selected for the design procedure.

Q4: Using Lacey’s Regime Diagrams, design an earthen channel section for data given in Q2. Also
attach the Lacey’s Regime Diagrams showing the values selected for the design procedure.
