Hydrologic and Hydraulic Design

This lecture covers the translation of hydrologic design values into water stage signals, the determination of discharge rating curves, and the analysis of flood control measures, including floodplain management and flood hazard reduction. It also delves into open-channel flow analysis, steady and unsteady flow models, and the calculation of discharge based on uniform-flow relations. The lecture explores the concepts of stage-discharge relations, bottom shear stress, and the roughness coefficient in hydraulic design. Additionally, it discusses the celerity of flood propagation, the limits of stage-discharge curves, and the kinematic wave approximation for overland flow.
