• 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.
  
  Bugs addressed: Fixed issue with report generation failing on names with quotes (‘ or “) in the name. Fixed issue where bridge Scour's abutment scour was zero with any scour entered into the contraction scour's pressure scour. Fixed issues where the incorrect governing value was bolded in the Bridge Scour's Summary Table. Fixed issue where the summary table was not using the special case maximum scour depth. Fixed issue where the toggle to turn off the Bridge Scour's abutment scour plotting was unresponsive. Fixed issue with the web service connection for NOAA Atlas 14 data in the Rational Calculator. Fixed issue with the Rational Calculator not correctly saving the 1 and 200 year data. Fixed a few minor issues in the Bridge scour combo boxes.
