• Description:
  Most flood studies in the United States use the Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) computer program. This report is the second edition. The first edition of the report considered the laboratory model to be distorted with 1:100 horizontal scale and 1:20 vertical scale. The second edition considers both distorted and undistorted interpretations of the laboratory models. Moreover, more advanced HEC-RAS modeling techniques are used to better match the HEC-RAS and the laboratory results. The advanced HEC-RAS models were based on review comments and model revisions by Mr. Gary W. Brunner, Senior Technical Hydraulic Engineer, Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC).
