EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS OF FLOW UNDER BARRIER WALLS

This report details a performance analysis for flow through inertial attenuators currently used by the Florida Department of Transportation for pavement drainage. Experiments were conducted using full size models of one inlet configuration (Index 415 barrier) and empirical relationships for capacity were derived. A computational model for system design was formulated from this information.
