HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF DEPRESSED CURB-OPENING INLETS

NEW HYDRAULIC DESIGN CURVES FOR DEPRESSED CURB-OPENING INLETS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FROM NEW EXPERIMENTAL DATA. A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE RESEARCH AND OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE CURVES IS PRESENTED. THESE NEW CURVES COVER A CONSIDERABLE RANGE OF PRACTICAL CONDITIONS AND ALSO ALLOW THE DIRECT COMPARISON OF THE EFFECT OF WIDTH OF DEPRESSION TO THE EFFICIENCY OF THIS INLET. /AUTHOR/
