C) Cross-sectional data: It requires cross-section coordinates which require distance along the reach and the elevation of each station, mannings n values, and contraction coefficients. Distance downstream to next left over bank, main channel, right over bank. 1) contraction or expansion coefficient : contraction or expansion of flow due to changes in the cross section is a common cause of energy losses within a reach (between 2 cross-sections). Whenever this occur the loss is computed from the contraction and expansion coefficients specified on the cross-section data editor. The coefficients which are applied between cross-sections are specified as a part of data for the u/s cross-section. The coefficients are multiplied by the absolute difference in velocity head between the current cross-section and the next cross-section d/s, which gives the energy loss caused by the transition. In this example we take the values of contraction and expansion value 0.1 and 0.3 respectively, because the cross-section of culvert is small and the flow is subcritical. 2) Mannings value Manings values are usually used for the discharge measurement of an area. If the manning n is greater then the velocity of flow is less and height is more. So mannings n plays a vital role in determining the height of culverts or bridges. 3) Cross section Coordinates They are used to plot the cross section. In this case the elevation along the creep length is require to actually draw the x section. These values are usually obtained by field survey.

Discharge Data

The discharge data entered for the multiple culverts are shown in fig below. As the culverts are small structures so they are not designed for the longer return period as in case of dam that is designed for 50year and 100year return period. As in this case the max return period is taken as 25 year.

Culvert data It requires all the essential structural design of the culvert e.g length of the culvert ,exit loss coefficient, shape of culvert(box ,circular)
