Thanks to all of you.

There are quite a few rebar on the top and bottom of the beam so support is not a question. So the question is about rebar placed at the corner or could be a few inches away? I have been detailing the corner but just saw some plans other than that.

Only 2-year can be contained and the 100 year is 5 feet above the bank elevations. I am trying to remodel based on gbam's suggestion.

How can I model a river which is "in the sky" with Hec_ras? The bank elevations are higher than adjacent aeras so once it is overtopped, the water will run away perpendically to the reach. I was setting ineffective areas but it seems not working as the cals are showing the WS is a few feet...

I am designing a 10' by 10' by 7' high concrete riser which will be connected to a 5' concrete pipe, as an outlet for a pond. The riser is cast in place around the pipe and riser walls will be 8" thick, do I need to provide some waterproof method around the connection between the riser and pipe...
