Lacey's 100-Year Flood Waterway Design

This document calculates the afflux and velocity under a proposed bridge with 6 piers based on an adopted design discharge of 1445 cubic meters per second for a 100 year flood. It determines the average depth of flow as 2.371 meters and average velocity as 3.35 meters per second. The calculated afflux is 0.622970903 meters, which is 0.058 meters higher than the afflux calculated by hydrology for a 130 meter length.
