IMPLEMENTATION OF IMPROVED CULVERT INLET CONCEPTS

The research described proved that the capacity of some culverts can be increased significantly by improving the hydraulic flow conditions at the culvert inlet. The research necessarily dealt with a wide range of culvert geometries and detailed hydraulic theory. Types of improved culverts selected for presentation in the new improved inlet design manual included bevel-edged, side-taped, and slope-tapered design.
