HYDRAIN-Integrated Drainage Design Computer System. Volume 6. HY8-Culvert Analysis

摘要

The project report, in six volumes, documents a system of computer programs for the design of drainage components: culverts, storm drains, and open channels. The system includes an input generator to estimate design rain, hyetographs, design flow, and hydrographs. Programs are facilitated with semi-expert system shells that generate input data for engineering programs. The system is expandable and designed for personal computers that operate within an MS-DOS environment. Volume VI is a technical reference guide for HY8 which is an interactive culvert analysis program. An important feature of HY8 is that it follows the logic of HDS-5, 'Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts.' HY8 allows user defined culverts to be analyzed by selecting appropriate parameters from menus. The program will compute culvert hydraulics for circular, rectangular, elliptical, arch, and user defined geometry. To operate all the software, the user needs all six volumes. To individually operate HY8, the user needs Volume I and Volume VI.
