.Step 1. Determine the tailwater depth from channel characteristics 'below the
pipe outlet for the design capacity of the pipe_ If the tailwater depth is less
than half the outlet pipe diameter, it is classified nunimum tailwater condition_
If it is greater than half the pipe diameter, It is classified maxlniuni condition_
Pipes that outlet onto Vvide flat areas -k ith no defined channel are assumed
to have a *fir-n nun1 tailwater condition unless reliable flood stage elevations
show- oche lse_
Outlet pipe diameter, Do (in.) 36
Tailwater depth (in.) 12

Step 2. Based on the tailwater conditions deternxined in step 1, enter Figure
8_06a or Figure 8_D6b, and determine d5o riprap size and minituu m apron length
(L). The d., size is the median stone size iu a well -graded riprap apron_
Step 3. Determine apron width at the pipe outlet, the apron shape, and the
apron width at the outlet end from the same figure used in Step 2_

Step 6. Fit the riprap apron to the site by niak ng it level for the iruiniimun
length, La, from Figure 8_06a or Figure 8_0 b_ Extend the apron farther
doxnstreani and aloniz charnel banks until stability is assured_ Keen the

apron as straight as possible and align it with the flow of the receiving stream_
Make any necessary alignment bends near the pipe outlet so that the entrance
into the receii-mg stream is straight_
Solve locations may require lining of the entire channel cross section to asstue
stability_
It may be necessary io increase the size of riprap Where protection of the
channel side slopes is necessary p pendky 8.05)_ 'Where overfalls exist at
pipe outlets or flows are a cessive, a phinge pool should be considered, see
