CTC 261-Hydraulics has a
dedicated 2-hour lab time consisting of two laboratory experiments and one
design project.
The experimental labs
will consist of two experimental labs (visualization, hydrostatics-old
equip). In addition
modifications will be made to the hydrostatics lab.
The following detailed information on the experimental labs can be
found on Brightspace-Content (Intro to Labs):
·

·
MSDS sheet for
“Sodium Sulfate Anhydrous)
·
Flow Visualization

·

The design project will consist of a one culvert replacement
project. You will work on your assigned
team.
Culvert Replacement Design Project:
An existing map and stream
profile can be found in brightspace (or handed out in class)
Evaluate the hydraulic adequacy
of the culvert for a design discharge of 860 cfs and
AHE (allowable headwater elevation) equal to the top of road (elevation
184.5’). The computed tailwater depth is
3.9 feet, giving a tailwater elevation of 181.3 feet.
Design a replacement culvert
using flared wingwalls and a square edge entrance. Multiple barrels will be required.

report/excel file/ or a poster.
