Minimum depth of the settling zone is 0.6 m
Avoid having settling zone greater than 1.0 m
Minimum length:width = 3:1 (single inflow point)
Minimum length:width = 2:1 (multiple inflow point with baffles)
For basin longer than 120 m, the minimum depth is L/200

Design flood : 5 years Average Recurrence Interval (ARI)
Peak flow rate calculated using the Rational Method formula: Q y= k x Cy x Itc,y x A
k = 0.278 if A in km 2 or k = 0.00278 if A in hectares.
A = area of catchments
C5 = runoff coefficient for an ARI 5 years (dimension less)
Where :
Itc,5 = average rainfall intensity (mm/h) for design duration of tc hours and ARI of 5 years
tc,5 = time of concentration (hours) for ARI of 5 years
Q5= 5 years ARI design discharge in m3/sec.

Step 2
Determine the first trial culvert size:
(a)
From the equation A = Q/V area of the waterway is :
A=

m2
(b)
Select a culvert size where the soffit would be above or just below the tailwater to utilise
the full waterway opening, if practical
Depth of Tail Water = Flood level - Invert Level of natural channel
TW =
1.100
m
Assuming a height of
Page 11 of 13
file:///var/www/apps/conversion/tmp/scratch_7/321133001.xls
C(1)
Step 3
Find the headwater depth (HW) for the trial culvert
(a)
Checking:
OK - this headwater is satisfactory as it less than the allowable given in the design data, item f of Step 1.
(b)
Page 12 of 13
file:///var/www/apps/conversion/tmp/scratch_7/321133001.xls
C(1)
0.140 meter
0.38 meter
Therefore, HW = H + ho - L x So =
1.03 m
Checking :
Outlet Control is the governing factor
OK (acceptable) - HW outlet less than Hwa
(c)
As the HW for outlet control is higher than that for inlet control, outlet control is the
governing factor; and being less than the allowable height (HW a) of 2.0 meter is
acceptable.
Step 4
Try a culvert of another type or shape, if a comparison of alternative design cost is to be made
and determine size and head water by above procedure.
Step 5
Compute velocity through the
1
X
381
mm dia.CP
Since inlet control governs, and the head water is below the soffit of the culvert, the part full waterway area is used.
Outlet velocity = Q/Ao =
1.10 m/s
Checking:
Acceptable - velocity less than Vall
Step 6
Make selection and record all relevant data on Figure 4.7 or similar form.
