Re: Modeling Culverts

Note that HEC-RAS uses the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) culvert nomographs for computing flow through a culvert. Therefore, modeling flow through a 1300 ft long culvert would stretching the model limits by quite a bit.

I would recommend analyzing the culvert with something like SWMM.
