D. Overall Cost Estimate

Excavation Php 139,600.80
Gabion Basket Php 433,682.784
Galvanized Steel Wire/kilo Php 95 x 20 kg = Php 1,900
Labor (for build the structure of gabion Php 450/Day (except excavation labor)
checkdam)
Let’s assume that the filling rate of the gabion
basket in 10 cu.m per day. To calculate the
number of days required to fill the g ion
checkdam, we can use the following formula:

Number of days = Total Volume of gabion

checkdam / filling rate
 Number of Days = 489.6 cu.m / 10 cu.m per
day
Number of Days = 48.96 days or 49 days

Therefore, it will tke approximately 49 days in

8 hours (except Saturday and sunday) to fill
the gabion checkdam if the filling rate is 10
cu.m per day.

Php 450 x 49days = Php 22,050

Construction Cost Php 597,233.584
Contingency Fund (5%) Php 597,233.584 x .5 = 29,861.6792
Grand Total Php 597,233.584+ 29,861.6792 = Php
627,095.2632

E. If the total height of the gabion check dam is < 3 m, box gabions of the following dimensions
may be used:
1mx1mx2m
0.85 m x 0.85 m x 2 m
0.75 m x 1.5 m x 3 m
If the total height of the gabion check dam is 3 m to 5 m, use the following formula
k = 0.4 H d = 0.6 H f = 0.3 H
where:
k is the thickness of the dam's crest at spillway level (m)
d is the thickness of the dam's base (m)
f is the depth of foundation (m)
H is the total height of the dam including foundation (m)

COMPUTATION:
FOUNDATION: 1.50 meters
GABION BOX (4 ROW): 4 meters

k = 0.4 (1.50m + 4m) = 2.2 m

d = 0.6 (5.5m) = 3.3m
f = 0.3 (5.5) = 1.65m
 Application
Laboratory Activities
Grassed/Vegetative Waterway

Computation:

Given:

Top width of the waterway (T) = 3 meters

Top width of the waterway at midpoint (t) = 2 meters

Depth of waterway (D) = 0.5 meters

Depth of waterway at midpoint (d) = 0.4 meters

Slope of the waterway (S) = 2% (0.02 in decimal form)

Manning's roughness coefficient (n) = 0.04 (representing good quality cover)

Desired velocity range (V) = 1.5-1.8 m/s

Solution:

A.) Calculate the Hydraulic Radius (R): B.) Calculate the Flow Area at Midpoint (Am) and
Wetted Perimeter at Midpoint (Pm):
A=TxD/2
Am = t x d / 2
= 3m x 0.5m / 2
= 2 m x 0.4m / 2
A= 0.75 ㎡
Am = 0.4 ㎡
P=T+2XD
Pm = t + 2 x d
= 3m + 2 x 0.5m
= 2m + 2 x 0.4m
P = 4m
Pm = 2.8m
R = A/P
C.) Calculate the Hydraulic Radius (Rm):
= 0.75 ㎡/4m
Rm = Am/Pm = 0.4 ㎡/2.5m Rm = 0.1429m
D.)
R =Determine
0.1875m the Average Hydraulic Radius (Ra):
F.) To Calculate the Discharge
Ra = R + Rm / 2
(Q) through the Grass
= 0.1875m + 0.1429 /2 waterway:

Ra =0.1652m Q=AxV

E.) Use the Manning’s Equation to Calculation the Flow Velocity (V): = 0.75 ㎡ x 1.85 m/s

V = 1/n x Ra^2/3 x S^1/2 Q = 1.3875 m^3/s

= 1/0.04 x (0.1652m)^2/3 x (0.02)^1/2 So, the discharge through the
grass waterway is approximately
= 1/0.04 x (0.3010m) x 0.1414
1.3875 m^3/s.
V = 1.85m/s

Description Quantity Unit Cost (PHP) Total Cost (PHP)

Excavation 100 m³ PHP 1,500/m³ PHP 150,000

Php 500 x 5 labors =

5 labors for grass Php 2,500/day x 4 days
planting, etc (4 days) Php 500/day = Php 10,000

Miscellaneous Costs PHP 5,000

Total Material Cost PHP 165,000

Contingency Fund (5%) Php 8,250

Grand Total Php 173,250

Solution:

Excavation cost per cubic meter: PHP 1,500

Miscellaneous costs: PHP 10,000

We'll need to calculate the total excavation used in the project. Once we have those values, we can
calculate the total costs.

Let's calculate:

Volume of excavation: 100 cubic meters

Now, let's calculate the total costs:

Excavation cost:

Excavation Cost = Volume × Unit Cost

Excavation Cost = 100m³ × PHP 1,500/m³

Excavation Cost = PHP 150,000
