  1. Lined waterway or outlet Chute Design

  2. Standard 468 - Criteria Stable rock sizes and flow depths for rock-lined channels having gradients between 2 percent and 40 percent may be determined using the following detailed design process. This design process is from Design of Rock Chutes by Robinson, Rice, and Kadavy. For channel slopes between 2% and 10%: D50 = [q (S)1.5/4.75(10)-3]1/1.89 For channel slopes between 10% and 40%: D50 = [q (S)0.58/3.93(10)-2]1/1.89 z = [n(q )/1.486(S)0.50]3/5

  3. Design of Rock ChutesRobinson, Rice, & Kadavy, 1998 • Full scale testing of rock chutes.38 chutes, slopes 2% - 40%9’ bottom, 2:1 side slopes • Recommendations of paper based upon: • Angular Riprap • Riprap Coefficient of Uniformity (Cu)1.25 – 1.75Cu = D60/D10

  4. Cu Cu = 4.4 MNTR3 Cu = 1.375 Robinson …

  5. Robinson - Factor of Safety • Not Addressed in Standard 468 • Not Addressed in “Design of Rock Chutes” by Robinson, Rice, and Kadavy • Minimum of 1.2 recommended by Robinson

  6. Standard 468 deficiencies • The Robinson paper is the “State of the Art” for rock chute design, but the reference in the standard is incomplete • Cu of rock should be between 1.25 and 1.75 • A factor of safety of 1.2 should be applied to the resulting D50

  7. Recommended Tool Spreadsheet:Rock Chute 401.xlsOriginally written by Eric Lorenz • Variable factor of safety and Cu < 2.0 • Spreadsheet originally written for the design of rock chutes, contains hydraulic design considerations that may not be required for a waterway outlet • Computes a rock thickness of 2 * D50 which is on the low size. Recommend following MN TR3 and use 1.25*D100 (upper limit) = 2.5*D50
