HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS OF RETICULAR INLET GRATES

The report describes the experimental approach followed in the development of rating curves for Maryland State Highway Administration Standard WR, Standard NR, and Single WR reticular inlet grates. Rating curves for these grates are given for longitudinal slopes between 0 and 13%, and cross slopes between 1.6 and 10% are presented. /FHWA/
