Correlating U-Notch performance to V-Notch equivalent is challenging and is carried out on a case by case basis, there is no standardized correlation between performance values obtained with the two notch types. [2] A keyhole notch is typically considered as a slit ending in a hole of a given radius.
n varies with structure (e.g., 3 ⁄ 2 for horizontal weir, 5 ⁄ 2 for v-notch weir). However, this calculation is a generic relationship and specific calculations are available for the many different types of weir. Flow measurement weirs must be well maintained if they are to remain accurate. [3] [4]
Concrete check dams in Austria A steel check dam A common application of check dams is in bioswales, which are artificial drainage channels that are designed to remove silt and pollution from runoff. A check dam is a small, sometimes temporary, dam constructed across a swale , drainage ditch , or waterway to counteract erosion by reducing water ...
Stoplogs are designed to cut off or stop flow through a conduit. They are typically long rectangular timber beams or boards that are placed on top of each other and dropped into premade slots inside a weir, gate, or channel. Present day, the process of adding and removing stoplogs is not manual, but done with hydraulic stoplog lifters and ...
The notch in the sample affects the results of the impact test, [6] thus it is necessary for the notch to be of regular dimensions and geometry. The size of the sample can also affect results, since the dimensions determine whether or not the material is in plane strain. This difference can greatly affect the conclusions made. [7]
In hydraulic engineering, a nappe is a sheet or curtain of water that flows over a weir or dam. The upper and lower water surface have well-defined characteristics that are created by the crest of a dam or weir. [1] Both structures have different features that characterize how a nappe might flow through or over impervious concrete structures. [2]
The wire is aligned under tension between heavy, braced, fence posts (strainer posts) and then held at the correct height by being attached to wooden or steel fence posts, and/or with battens in between. The gaps between posts vary depending on type and terrain.
Silt fence installed on a construction site. Silt fences are often installed as perimeter controls. They are typically used in combination with sediment basins and sediment traps, as well as with erosion controls, which are designed to retain sediment in place where soil is being disturbed by construction processes (i.e., land grading and other earthworks).
