    Rainfall Event

    Thanks for the input. This is all the rain that fell on this particular day. There was an inlet issue and after further inspection after the event it appears the inlet was 50%-75% full of construction debris including 2X4s. There has not been an issue at this location in the past, this inlet...

    Solving an equation

    I was not real sure where to post it but here it goes. I am trying to solve the depth of sheet pile needed and the equation I am solving for is: g=gamma D^4-[8p/g(Kp-Ka]D^2-[12PL/g(Kp-Ka)]D-[2P/g(Kp-Ka)]^2=0 this reduces to D^4-54.54D^2-1227.1D-13.63^2=0 My problem is how to solve for D, I...
