CULVERT HYDRAULICS /IN PORTUGUESE/

HYDRAULIC MODELS ARE USED TO MAKE THE CULVERT DESIGN STANDARDS THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO BRAZILIAN CONDITIONS. ECONOMIC ASPECTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE DESIGN OF CULVERTS INCLUDING INITIAL COSTS, COSTS OF REPAIRS, AND COST OF REPLACEMENT IN CASE OF FLOODS. THE STUDY INCLUDES CHARTS THAT ALLOW PRACTICAL AND ADEQUATE SOLUTIONS FOR MOST OF THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS. EXAMPLES OF APPLICATIONS ARE DISCUSSED. /RRI/
