    This is the HDS 4 document entitled "Design of Roadside Channels", May 1965, FHWA EPD-86-102. Roadside drainage channels perform the vital function of diverting or removing surface water from the highway right-of-way. They should provide the most efficient disposal system consistent with cost, importance of the road, economy of maintenance, and legal requirements. One standard channel win rarely provide the most satisfactory drainage for all sections of a highway, although it might be adequate for most locations. Thus, the design engineer needs procedures for designing various types of channels. This publication discusses flow in roadside drainage channels, estimation of peak discharges from small areas, prevention of channel erosion, and presents methods for the design of drainage channels required to remove runoff from the area immediately adjacent to the highway.

    Download HEC-2 Island Split Flow Example (PDF File)


    File Size: 148187 bytes
    File Date: Fri Sep 22 12:11:32 2006

    There are many types of split flow situations that can occur in a river. The following is a list of the more commonly encountered split flow situations:

    1. Split flows caused by islands or high ground dividing the flow.

    2. Split flows caused by levee overtopping.

    3. Split flows caused by watershed divide overtopping.

    4. Split flows caused by diversion structures.

    The HEC-2 split flow option is capable of analyzing all of the above split flow situations except for bifurcation of flow at islands or high ground. In addition, HEC-RAS cannot model any of the above split flow situations.

    This document describes how to model the bifurcation of flow at an island using HEC-2 (or HEC-RAS) and a graphical interpolation method. This interpolation method can be used whenever flow is separated into two or more channels. For example, this method can be used to model divided flow when there are multiple bridge openings at a roadway crossing (when the conveyance is separated among the bridge openings).

    This PDF technical document, "Debris Control Structures", FHWA EPD-86-106, discusses water-borne debris problems and structures used for controlling debris. An accumulation of debris at inlets of highway drainage structures is a frequent cause of unsatisfactory performance or malfunction. This accumulation may result in failure of the drainage structure, or overtopping of the roadway by flood water, or possible damage to the roadway and other property. Consideration of the need for debris-control structures should be an essential part of all hydraulic structure designs. This PDF technical document emphasizes on culverts because their relatively limited waterway area is subject to clogging by retention of debris at the inlet.

    In this PDF technical document a system of classifying the type of debris expected from any drainage basin is followed by a list of types of debris-control structures. The basis for choosing the type of control structure is given and details of design are discussed.

    In the United States, the average annual damage related to hydraulic problems at highway facilities on the Federal-aid system is $40 million. Damages by streams can be reduced significantly by considering channel stability. The types of river changes to be carefully considered relate to:

    1. lateral bank erosion
    2. degradation and aggradation of the streambed that continues over a period of years, and
    3. natural short-term fluctuations of streambed elevation that are usually associated with the passage of floods

    This PDF Technical Document will cover many issues on highways in the river environment including: sediment transport, natural manmade causes of waterway responses, stream stabilization (bed and banks), computer applications, and countermeasures. Case histories of typical manmade and natural impacts on waterways are analyzed.

    Detention Pond Outlet Structure: Design Criteria for Energy Dissipators (PDF File)


    File Size: 2363106 bytes
    File Date: Fri Sep 22 08:17:16 2006

    Erosion problems at culverts or the outlet from detention basins are common. Determination of the flow conditions, scour potential, and channel erosion resistance are standard procedure for all designs. The only safe procedure is to design on the basis that erosion at a culvert outlet and the downstream channel is to be expected.

    Standard practice is to use the same headwall treatment at the culvert entrance and exit. It is important to recognize that the inlet is designed to improve culvert capacity or reduce head loss while the outlet structure should provide a smooth flow transition back to the natural channel or into an energy dissipator. Outlet structures should provide uniform redistribution or spreading of the flow without excessive separation and turbulence.

    This PDF Technical Document will focus on riprap apron, riprap outlet basins, and baffled outlets because for many designs, these outlet protection and energy dissipators provide sufficient protection at a reasonable cost.

    Recently, there has been a growing interest in the development of low-cost, environmentally friendly bank protection techniques, that are suitable for anyone with limited resources. Many of these techniques have been quite successful, while others have not performed as intended. Many designers make the mistake of trying to apply one protection technique to all situations, regardless of the site conditions. This often results in an ineffective design leading to structure failure. Even if the appropriate protection technique is selected, failure may still occur if proper design procedures are not followed. This manual provides the necessary guidance for making intelligent decisions when selecting and designing streambank protection measures or deciding not to install bank protection.

    The traditional design of storm drainage systems has been to collect and convey storm runoff as rapidly as possible to a suitable location where it can be discharged. As areas urbanize this type of design may result in major drainage and flooding problems downstream. Under favorable conditions, the temporary storage of some of the storm runoff can decrease downstream flows and often the cost of the downstream conveyance system. Detention storage facilities can range from small facilities contained in parking lots or other on-site facilities to large lakes and reservoirs. This PDF file provides a general design criteria for detention/retention storage basins as well as procedures for performing preliminary and final sizing and reservoir routing calculations.

    Performance curves should be developed for all culverts for evaluating the hydraulic capacity of a culvert for various headwaters. These will display the consequence of high flow rates at the site and any possible hazards. Sometimes a small increase in flow rate can affect a culvert design. If only the design peak discharge is used in the design, the engineer cannot assess what effect increases in the estimated design discharge will have on the culvert design.

    File Size: 148187 bytes
    File Date: Fri Sep 22 12:11:32 2006

    There are many types of split flow situations that can occur in a river. The following is a list of the more commonly encountered split flow situations:

    1. Split flows caused by islands or high ground dividing the flow.

    2. Split flows caused by levee overtopping.

    3. Split flows caused by watershed divide overtopping.

    4. Split flows caused by diversion structures.

    The HEC-2 split flow option is capable of analyzing all of the above split flow situations except for bifurcation of flow at islands or high ground. In addition, HEC-RAS cannot model any of the above split flow situations.

    This document describes how to model the bifurcation of flow at an island using HEC-2 (or HEC-RAS) and a graphical interpolation method. This interpolation method can be used whenever flow is separated into two or more channels. For example, this method can be used to model divided flow when there are multiple bridge openings at a roadway crossing (when the conveyance is separated among the bridge openings).
