HYDRAIN - INTEGRATED DRAINAGE DESIGN COMPUTER SYSTEM. VOLUME VI. HY8 - CULVERT ANALYSIS. FINAL REPORT

This project report, in six volumes, documents a system of computer programs oriented to the design of drainage components: culverts, storm drains, and open channels. The system includes an input generator to estimate design rain, hyetographs, design flow and hydrographs at user selected return periods. Programs are facilitated with semi-expert system shells that generate input data for engineering programs. All system elements fit into an open architecture that utilizes personal computers having hard disks, math coprocessors and operate within an MS-DOS environment. This volume, Volume VI, is a technical reference guide for HY8 which is an interactive culvert analysis program that utilizes the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) analysis methods and information published by pipe manufacturers. An important feature of HY8 is that it follows the logic of HDS-5, "Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts." HY8 allows user defined culverts to be analyzed by selecting appropriate parameters from menus. The program will compute culvert hydraulics for circular, rectangular, elliptical, arch, and user defined geometry.
