The formula to calculate the Culvert Capacity (CC) is:
\[ \text{CC} = \text{A} \cdot \text{V} \]
Where:
A culvert capacity refers to the maximum volume of water that a culvert, a structure that allows water to flow under a road, railroad, or similar obstruction, can handle. This capacity is determined by factors such as the culvert’s size, shape, material, and the slope of the land it’s installed on. It’s crucial to accurately calculate a culvert’s capacity to prevent flooding and other water-related damages.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Culvert Capacity:
\[ \text{CC} = 2 \text{ m}^2 \cdot 3 \text{ m/s} = 6 \text{ m}^3/\text{s} \]
The Culvert Capacity (CC) is 6 m³/s.
