DRAINAGE MANUAL FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. VOLUME I. THEORY MANUAL

This two-volume drainage manual reflects current hydrological design conditions in South Carolina. Volume I (Theory manual) includes discussion of concepts and computer programs that are available to engineers who design drainage structures. Attention is given to phenomena that influence the hydraulics of culverts and bridges and a section has been devoted to design problems associated with longitudinal drainage. Sediment-erosion problems and methods of debris control are discussed.
