HYDRAIN-Integrated Drainage Design Computer System. Volume 3. PFP-(Pooled Fund Project) HYDRA-Storm Drains

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 III documents PFP-HYDRA, which is a storm drain analysis and design program. The report is intended to introduce PFP-HYDRA and guide the user through the necessary steps toward designing or analyzing stormwater drains and/or sanitary sewer systems. In the PFP-HYDRA design process, the program will select the pipe size, slope and invert elevations if given certain design criteria. Additionally, PFP-HYDRA will perform analyses on an existing system of pipes (and/or ditches). To operate all the software, the user needs all six volumes. To individually operate PFP-HYDRA, the user needs Volume I and Volume III.
