Hydraulic Design of Flood Control Channels

This U.S. Army Corps of Engineers engineer manual EM 1110-2-1601, ""Hydraulic Design of Flood Control Channels"", presents procedures for the design analysis and criteria of design for improved channels that carry rapid and/or tranquil flows. This book presents theories and procedures in the hydraulic design of flood control channels, levees, and floodwalls. Typical calculations are presented to illustrate the principles of design for channels under various conditions of flow. The appendices provide additional information of certain specific topics, such as the standardization of riprap gradations, calculation of stone size, and combination of flow at open channel junctions.
