E – 1319 Hydraulic Design of Culverts
$75.00
Courses Included
This course will introduce you to a nomographic approach to hydraulic design of culverts. Culverts are hydraulic structures intended to convey, generally, stormwater and other unanticipated flows in and around earth and other structures such as highways, bridges and buildings. A nomographic approach is one which graphically relates relevant factors in a way that facilitates solution of complex mathematical equations.
Course Outline
1. GENERAL
2. INLET CONTROL
3. OUTLET CONTROL
4. PROCEDURES FOR SELECTION OF CULVERT SIZE
5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF INLET-CONTROL NOMOGRAPHS
6. INSTRUCTION FOR USE OF OUTLET-CONTROL NOMOGRAPHY
7. CULVERT CAPACITY CHARTS
This course will give you design guidance you can apply to the design of culverts to control stormwater drainage at streets, highways, buildings and other structures.
