A dam spillway is to be tested using kinematic similitude (Froude scaling) with a 1:20-scale model. The model flow has an average velocity of 0.7 m/s and a flow rate of 0.06 m3/s. What are the velocity and flow rate in the prototype? If the lowest pressure on the spillway face of the model is determined to be -2500 Pa, what is the lowest pressure expected in the prototype? (Note Pa= N/m2)

Civil Engineering Questions & Answers

  Determine whether a jump may occur at an initial depth

Determine whether a jump may occur at an initial depth of 0.5 m or not. If a hydraulic jump occurs, determine the sequent depth (conjugate depth) to this initial depth

  What is the diameter of the hole in the aluminum plate

A hole is drilled in an aluminum plate with a steel drill bit whose diameter is 6.245 cm at 20 degrees Celsius. In the process of drilling, the temperatures of the drill bit and plate rise to 168 degrees Celsius.

  Does our non-destructive test have the required sensitivity

To be sure that the part does not fail, we plan to ensure that the maximum applied stress is only one third of the tensile strength. We use a non-destructive test that will detect any internal flaws greater than 1.25 mm long.
