HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE OF SEVERAL CURB AND GUTTER INLETS

This report details a performance analysis of several curb inlets and one grated gutter inlet currently used by the Florida Department of Transportation for pavement drainage. For each inlet an experimental analysis of the hydraulic performance of a one-half scale model was made. These results were then used to predict full scale performance. Results were compared to those of a previous investigation.
