Calculate size of lined drain section

Manning's n for concrete lining = 0.015

Assuming:
Drain longitudinal slope = 0.5 %
Width, B = 1.50 m
Side Slope, Z = 0

Q = vxA

where: v = 1/n x S o 1/2 x R 2/3 ;


A = (B + ZD)D = 1D
P = B + 2D(1 + Z 2 ) 1/2 = 1.0 + 2D

Provided dimension of lined drain (Refer to precast concrete manufacturers):

Width, B = 1.5 m
Depth, D = 1.05 m
Velocity, v = 2.72 m/s
Discharge, Q = 4.28 m3/s

The drain dimensions are 1.5 m wide x 1.05 m deep, which is within the recommended
limits.

Check flow velocity for open drain = 2.72 m/s < 4.00 m/s OK

Velocity of more than 2 m/s, safety railings will be provided along the drain.

Service opening shall be provided along open drain with maximum interval
spacing at every 100m
