Thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated.
Thanks fo the help.
I ran the numbers through the following eqn and have someone double checking it for me:
A = Q / [ C x (sqrt {2xGxh)}]
C =0.62 (sharp edge concrete)
G = 32.2f/s
h = Height of notch x 0.5
Q = 133ft3/sec
and the results I have indicate I need a 13.5ft x 2ft notch to...
I'm working on Projects, this is going to be checked by someone else anyway! I'm just trying to get an idea for the practicality of one of many solutions put forward!
Thanks for pointing out my degree!
