Abstract
This scope of this project is to design and construct a testing flume to be used by the USI civil engineering department. The flume will contain moist sand while all walls and base of the flume will be constructed of a Lexan material with a steel support structure. A floor jack will be provided that can raise the flume to manipulate the angle of the slope. The moist sand material, steel support structure, and Lexan sheet weights were all calculated to verify what caster wheels were appropriate for this flume.
