Introduction

This hydraulic report is being prepared for the Marquette County Road Commission concerning the proposed County Road 595 crossing of the Second River. The site is located in Section 25 of T48N, R29W, Quad Map Name - Diorite (Lat. 46.52666610/Long. -87.86756371) in Champion Township, Marquette County. Multiple road alignments were investigated. The chosen alignment crosses the river at the site of an existing crossing composed of multiple culverts. The existing culverts are both structurally and geometrically inadequate for the projected road traffic and require replacement.

2.0

Method of Analysis

The hydraulic analysis was performed using the HEC-RAS River Analysis System computer program, Version 3.1.3 developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydraulic Engineering Center. The steady flow data for the flood events were obtained from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ).

3.0

Variables and Coefficients

The river sections near the bridge use an expansion coefficient of 0.30 and contraction coefficient of 0.50 which are suitable for a typical bridge per Table 3.3 of the HEC-RAS Hydraulic Reference Manual. The Mannings n-values for friction loss were selected using Table 3.1 of the HEC-RAS Hydraulic Reference Manual. The main channel is fairly uniform with some weeds so a value of 0.035 was chosen. The overbanks are covered with medium brush so a value of 0.070 was chosen. Representative photographs of the site are included in Appendix H.

4.0

Starting Point

The starting point of the analysis was a surveyed river section about 227 feet downstream of the proposed road. This location was chosen because it was far enough downstream to be outside of the influence of the proposed bridge. The starting water surface elevation was calculated by HEC-RAS using the slope-conveyance method. An average channel slope of 0.0012 was estimated from a USGS quadrangle map and used for the normal depth boundary condition. The calculations are included in Appendix I.

Discussion

The main channel of the Second River is variable in width and not well defined. At the 100-year flood event a large portion of the flow is carried by the overbank floodplain. The river gradient is relatively flat and the flow regime is sub-critical for all flood events. The existing crossing is composed of two 36" circular culverts and one 42" x 66" elliptical culvert. Because of the relatively low hydraulic capacity of the existing culverts, the road is overtopped during flood events. The proposed bridge will be placed directly over the location of the existing culverts. The proposed bridge has a span of 58 feet. The relatively large span is required to replace the culverts because the overtopping of the existing road during flood events. In addition, the proposed

AECOM

bridge is highly skewed (to align it to the river channel) which reduces its effective width. The proposed bridge is composed of a prestressed concrete box beam deck supported by concrete foundation walls on steel piles. The restored stream banks are protected with heavy riprap. The proposed bridge has a large enough hydraulic opening to reduce the water elevations upstream of the bridge without overtopping the proposed road. The river cross sections are placed in HEC-RAS at the distances measured along the center line of the channel. In some cases the surveyed sections on each side of the bridge were adjusted up or downstream as required to model the bridge using the standard bridge/culvert input section of HECRAS. This is required because the actual location of the bridge was not known when the survey was performed. The final positions of the sections are shown in the plan view in Appendix C. The existing road approaches cut off a portion of the overbank flow during the higher flow events. Ineffective flow areas were included in the overbank portions of the cross sections upstream and downstream of the bridge as suggested in chapter 5 of the HEC-RAS Hydraulic Reference Manual. The proposed bridge has a larger hydraulic opening than the existing culverts. This reduces the water velocity at the crossing as well as the water elevation upstream. Table 1 on the following page summarizes the key model results for two configurations: 1. The existing 3 culvert crossing. 2. The proposed 58 span bridge.

6.0

Conclusion

Analysis results indicate that the proposed bridge decreases water surface elevations and channel velocities for all of the flow events compared to the existing bridge.
