Highways in the River Environment--Hydraulic and Environmental Design Considerations. Training and Design Manual.

摘要

Through a coordinated effort between the Federal Highway Administration and Colorado State University a training course was developed to provide training in the practical application of the concepts of open channel flow,fluvial geomorphology,and river mechanics to the planning,location,design,construction,maintenance and operation of highways;and to enable the participants to apply these concepts to environmental problems associated with highway crossings and encroachments. This two-week course was oriented to graduate engineers who have had training in basic hydraulics. The subject Training and Design Manual was developed to serve as a text for the course. The manual has eight chapters which are titled:Introduction;Open Channel Flow;Fundamentals of Fluvial Channel Flow; Fluvial Geomorphology;River Mechanics;River Stabilization,Bank Protection and Scour;Needs and Sources for Data;and Hydraulic and Environmental Considerations of Highway River Crossings and Encroachments.
