Computation of Uniform and Nonuniform Flow in Prismatic Conduits
This volume of tables of hydraulic factors for conduits of uniform cross section is intended to facilitate the hydraulic computations essential to engineering design. Conduits of the types included are commonly used for conveyance of storm water flow or for more constant flow conditions as are encountered in irrigation systems or supply of water for power or consumptive uses. The needs of engineers engaged in the design of highway drainage facilities are given prime consideration. To accomplish these purposes, tables of geometric and hydraulic factors are included for the closed conduit shapes commonly encountered in water conveyance engineering and highway construction "practice. The tables provide for the different degrees of resistance to flow resulting from the different materials used for construction of circular and pipe-arch conduits, and include square, rectangular and oval conduits which are usually constructed only of concrete.
This manual provides the designer with usable means for estimating the hydraulic resistance factors for five different corrugation shapes used in annu...
Hydraulic Design Series No.4 provides an introduction to highway hydraulics. Hydrologic techniques presented concentrate on methods suitable to small ...
