    Formula for Open Channel Flow in Circular Pipe

    Mala - you may right except I want the spreadsheet to find the depth of water - based on pipe information and flowrate. I don't have that input variable. I'm sure there is a way to calculate it - I can solve manning's for depth in a trapezoidal channel, but to write it in Excel for a circular...

    Formula for Open Channel Flow in Circular Pipe

    Thanks - I have the equations that EGT01 posted from Perry's book - just trying to figure out how to run that in the program to get what I want. I think BLTSeattle helped (see the other forum for Storm/Flood engineering) - I am not familiar with VBA codes in Excel, but I will try to teach...

    Calculating Open Channel Flow in Excel

    Hello -- I have been trying to figure out a solution for this in Excel and can't figure out how to do it. I want a formula that can determine velocity in a circular pipe (not flowing full). I have a design flow, capacity of the pipe, and all of that information. I need something that...

    Dressing the part...

    I am familiar with horse boots and doc martens - I'd vote for the horse boots as long as they are clean and not scuffed up. For hair I'd say either a braid or a french twist, but no ponytail. (too casual) Good luck! Kate

    Pre-post development Study

    While I agree that CVG and KRS are correct - I interpreted the question as to whether or not the off-site drainage would have to be detained. If I am right - read on. If not - ignore me! You have to design your system to handle the offsite flows but you do not need to reduce those flows. In...

    Rock Outlet Protection Source Equation

    In the &quot;Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey&quot; - the equations are as follows TW<0.5 Do La=(1.8*(q/(Do^.5))) + (7*Do) W=(3*Wo)+La TW>0.5 Do La=3*(q/(Do^.5)) W=(3*Wo)+(0.4*La) D50= (0.016/Tw)*(q^1.33) Where Tw can not be...

    Curved Handicapped Ramps

    Hello - Since GeoPaveTraffic was so helpful in the curb ramp thread - I figured I'd throw another one at you. Can a handicapped ramp be curved? This is not a curb ramp, but a ramp for a building. I understand that the beginning and end of the ramp need to be &quot;square&quot; for the...

    Small Radius Hadicap ramps?

    GeoPave - Thanks! That publication is great. Just yesterday, I was in a meeting with a town engineer and we were discussing handicapped ramps. In his experience, the typical details we tend to cut and paste aren't constructed to be code-compliant. He had great solutions for the design - and...

    Writing in Engineering

    I agree with the comments about how important writing is to an engineer - both legally and to keep up professional appearances. A previous colleague (much older and more experienced than I) had excellent writing skills, but a few &quot;bad habits&quot; when it came to communicating verbally. I...
