A storm water detention basin is usually required for a public or private development project to temporarily store excessive post-development runoff and only release the detained water through control structures…
Often it is necessary to re-condition a DEM by burning streams or building walls to force a watershed to be delineated with known streams or boundaries (example: NHD streams or…
When performing a watershed delineation in GIS, a DEM usually needs to be pre-processed by "filling" any depressions or sinks (an area lower than its surroundings) to create a hydraulically…
To apply the HEC-18 Equation 6.2 (Figure 1) to calculate the live-bed contraction scour depth, the bed material particle D50 fall velocity needs to be determined to estimate the coefficient…
Hydraulic Toolbox is a powerful tool to design riprap protection for channel banks, culvert outlets, and bridge scour countermeasures. This post is to focus on bridge pier and abutment scour countermeasure…
Hydraulic Toolbox is a powerful tool to design riprap protection for channel banks, culvert outlets, and bridge scour countermeasures. A brief introduction about riprap is found here for general reference.…
The bridge contraction scour depth and pier scour depth calculations are explained in the following three posts - Horizontal Contraction Scour, Vertical Contraction Scour (Pressure Flow Scour), and Local Pier…
The post here introduces using HEC-18 equation to calculate horizontal contraction scour under non-pressure flow condition and this post is to explain vertical contraction scour (pressure flow scour). When a bridge…
Bridge scour analysis is often required to design a new bridge or evaluate an existing bridge. Bridge scour depth is a critical bridge design component for foundation calculation. The scouring…
