• Abstract:
  The FHWA Hydraulic Toolbox Program is a stand-alone suite of calculators that performs routine hydrologic and hydraulic analysis and design computations. Specific calculators address: Rational Method hydrology, channels, channel linings, weirs, curb and gutter sections, storm drain inlets, detention basins, bridge scour, riprap countermeasures, sediment gradations, and culvert assessments. The Hydraulic Toolbox significantly extends the basic functionality of the historic version of the FHWA Visual Urban Program and other tools. The program allows a user to perform and save hydraulic calculations in one project file, analyze multiple scenarios, and create plots and reports of these analyses. The computations can be carried out in either US Customary Units or the International System of Units.
  
  Improvements made to this version of the software include the following bug fixes: Fixed discharge entry in contraction scour for live bed condition. Fixed rational method file saving and reading issue for 1-, 200-, and 500-year intervals. Fixed gradation row display issue. Fixed issue of editing profile names. Fixed weir width and tailwater depth display issue. Fixed crash when generating curb & gutter reports for inlets in sags. Fixed issues with writing detention basin calculations to the report file. Added notes to the culvert riprap calculator. Fixed digital gradation dialog resizing issue. Updated combo box size in the rational method calculator.
