BRAGG Culvert Id. E Total Drainage Area (acres) 1.02 Step 1. Determine the tail -water 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 minimum tailwater condition. If it is greater than half the pipe diameter. it is classified maximum condition. Pipes that outlet onto wide flat areas with no defined channel are assumed to have a minimum tailwater condition unless reliable flood stage elevations shot- otherwise. Outlet pipe diameter, Do (in.) Tailwater depth (in.) Minimum/Maximum tailwater? Discharge (cfs) Velocity (ft./s) 18 12 Max TW (Fig. 8.06b) 7.7 6.3 Step 2. Based on the tailwater conditions determined in step 1, enter Figure 8.06a or Figure 8.06b, and determine d50 riprap size and minimum apron length (L). The d50 size is the median stone size in 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.

Determine the niaximiun stone diameter: dMX= 1.5xd50 Minimum TW Max Stone Diameter, dmax (ft.) 0.75 Step 5. Determine the apron thickness: Apron Thickness(ft.) Apron thickness = 1.5 x d... Minimum TW 1.125 Maximum TW 0.75 Maximum TW 1.125 Step 6. Fit the riprap apron to the site by making it level for the miniiutun length, Ld_ from Figure 8.06a or Figure 8.06b_ Extend the apron farther dov.-nstream and along channel banks until stability is assured_ Keep the apron as straight as possible and align it with the flogs- of the receiving stream. Make any necessary alignment bends near the pipe outlet so that the entrance into the receiving stream is straight. Some locations may require lining of the entire channel cross section to assure stability. It may be necessary to increase the size of riprap where protection of the channel side slopes is necessary (Appendix 8.05). NA -`here overfalls exist at pipe outlets or flows are excessive, a plunge pool should be considered, see page 8.06.8.
