Weir Parameters

[shivakalyan]

Hi ,
Is it just sufficient to define the roadway weir parameters at the u/s face, instead of defining them at d/s and u/s cross sections for modeling bridges in BOSS RMS.
Thanx,

Dear Shiva Kalyan:

Note that RMS and RiverCAD, by convention, uses the downstream face cross-section for defining bridge and weir parameters. Although HEC-2 and HEC-RAS use this information at the upstream cross-section, with RMS and RiverCAD you need to define this data at the downstream face cross-section. RMS and RiverCAD will handle where the data is then placed.
