View solution

Q. Which of the following is not an advantage of the lining of the canal?

View solution

Q. The capacity of the channel is a function of velocity.

View solution

Q. What is the range of value of Manning’s coefficient for straight alignment for cast in-situ concrete lining?

View solution

Q. Lining decreases the channel capacity and consequently reduces the required channel section.

View solution

Q. Removal of silt considerably reduces the annual expenditure required on unlined channels for desilting.

Q. What is the minimum value of free-board for Main and Branch Lined canals if the discharge is more than 10 cumecs as per specified by BIS code?

View solution

Q. What is the minimum value of inspection bank width recommended by Indian Standards if the discharge is more than 30 cumecs?

View solution

Q. The distance measured above the F.S.L and to the top of the lining is known as free-board.

View solution

Q. When the concrete lining is not reinforced in a channel, velocities up to 2.5 m/sec are permitted.

Q. Calculate hydraulic mean depth for concrete-lined channel to carry a discharge of 350 cumecs at a slope of 1 in 5000. The value of manning’s constant for the lining is 0.015. The side slopes of a channel may be taken as 1.5:1. Assume limiting velocity in the channel as 2m/sec.
