Abstract

A direct algebraic technique is developed to determine open channel
cross-sectional designs which minimize lining material costs when base
and side wall unit costs are different. Solution graphs, which indicate both
the optimal parameter combination and the costs of deviating from the optimal
design, are presented. The graphs or analytical technique are also effective
in designing any trapezoidal channels. Use of the technique shows that moderate
deviations from optimal designs are not costly.
