Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course you will:

• Learn about inlet and outlet hydraulic control of culverts;

• Learn how to employ nomographic solutions to determine headwater depth for concrete pipe culverts with inlet control;

• Learn about headwater depth parameters for oval concrete pipe culverts, long axis vertical, with inlet control;

• Learn how to determine headwater depth for circular pipe culverts with beveled ring inlet control

• Learn the procedures for culvert size selection;

• Learn how to use culvert capacity charts; and

• Learn how to employ outlet control nomography.

Intended Audience

This course is intended for civil engineers and other design and construction professionals wanting an introduction to culvert design and hydraulics.

Benefit for Attendee

This course will give civil engineers and other design and construction professionals an introduction to design of culverts for storm water drainage and control.

Course Introduction

This is an introduction to a nomographic approach to culvert hydraulics.

Course Summary

This course will give you design guidance you can apply to the design of culverts to control stormwater drainage at streets, highways, buildings and other structures.
