HYDRAIN-Integrated Drainage Design Computer System. Volume 4. CDS-Culvert Design and 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 IV is a technical, user, and program supplement to more extensive available documentation for CDS (Culvert Design and Analysis). It consists of three sections. The first section introduced CDS, describing its intent and providing a system overview. The second section investigates the technical and operational methods used by CDS to analyze a culvert. The final section provides user documentation, guiding the user through the steps required to design or review a culvert without detailed technical explanations. To operate all the software, the user needs all six volumes. To individually operate CDS, the user needs Volume I and Volume IV.
