Effects of Inlet Geometry on Hydraulic Performance of Box Culverts

Course No. C-5015

Credit: 5 PDH

Course Fee: $139.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Vincent D. Reynolds, M.B.A., P.E.

Overview

Culverts are generally used to move water from one side of a road to the other. They are often used as alternatives to bridges. The wingwalls of culverts can have an effect on culvert capacity due to entrance losses. The angle that wingwalls can be built for culverts can range from 8 degrees to 30 degrees or more. After reviewing this 5 hour course, the student will have valuable information that can be used to analyze the effects of inlet geometry on hydraulic performance of box culverts.

The course materials are based solely on the materials “Effects of Inlet Geometry on Hydraulic Performance of Box Culverts” as published by the Federal Highway Administration. This material should be studied by those working in hydraulics, structures, transportation engineering or anyone that wishes to learn more information regarding the effects of inlet geometry on hydraulic performance of box culverts.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-five (25) questions at the end of this course to earn PDH credits.

 

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • The types and degrees of wingwalls that have the most effect on culvert capacity
  • The Variables that affect headwater and tailwater
  • Factors that influence inlet and outlet control
  • How to determine the height of the energy grade line
  • How to determine the total energy loss by using the energy equation
  • How to the span-to-rise ratio affects the performance of a culvert
  • Publications used to analyze culverts
  • How to utilize the weir and orifice equations
