Problem 6. The 1.2 m - diameter log with specific gravity of 0.8 is 3.0 m long into the paper. The log dams the water as shown. Compute the net vertical and horizontal reactions at point C. Water Log 0.6m + 0.6m Water
Water flows over a 3 m wide and 10 m high Ogee spillway with a designed water depth of hd= 3 m. Downstream of spillway is a straight floodway (channel) made of compact aggregates with D50=12 mm and slope of So=0.0003 [25/100].
