COMPUTER PROGRAM HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS OF CULVERTS

This computer program is for the hydraulic analysis of concrete box and circular (concrete, CMP) culverts for any given hydrological data and site condition. This program supersedes the conventional culvert designs provided by the existing Computer Programs HY-1, "Hydraulic Analysis of Circular Culverts," and HY-3, "Hydraulic Analysis of Box Culverts." In addition to designs for conventional culverts, this program includes analysis and designs for improved inlets based on concepts presented in Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 13, "Hydraulic Design of Improved Inlets for Culverts," dated August 1972. The improved inlet designs include bevel-edged, side-tapered and slope-tapered inlets. The original HY-1 and HY-3 computer programs are based on the concepts presented in Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 5, "Hydraulic Charts for the Selection of Highway Culverts." Terminology used in this publication assumes that the reader is familiar with HEC No. 13 and understands the principles and design approach expressed therein.
