For strong Hydraulic jump containing maximum energy, the down stream glacis should be sloped at a slope of ______________ to dissipate max: energy?

Correct answer: C. 3:1 to 5:1

  • A. 2:1 to 2.5:1
  • B. 2.5:1 to 3:1
  • C. 3:1 to 5:1
  • D. 5:1 to 6

Explanation

A downstream glacis slope of about 3:1 to 5:1 promotes a strong hydraulic jump and effective energy dissipation in the stilling basin. Flatter or steeper ranges do not represent the standard range used for this purpose.
