ADVANCED COMPUTER TOOLS FOR ROADWAY HYDRAULIC AND HYDROLOGIC DESIGN
Localized flooding and road damage can occur if drainage systems are not properly designed. This project was initiated to develop and select advanced computer programs to improve roadway hydraulic and hydrologic design tools available for use by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) engineers and consultants. The development and selection of such computer software that uses engineering analysis and interactive graphics is expected to reduce design and production times and improve quality control. The general objectives of the project were to: 1) produce a prototype module for the analysis of culvert hydraulics, including enhanced functionality requested by UDOT; 2) survey the functionality of the ArcView GIS software for application to hydrologic estimates. As work progressed on the tasks, the above two objectives were discontinued and a third one took their place - survey hydraulic design software products that have the potential to interface with UDOT roadway design procedures and standards and recommend one for use by UDOT.
