Book HEC RAS 2 2 for Backwater and Scour Analysis

Download or read book HEC RAS 2 2 for Backwater and Scour Analysis written by A. David Parr and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and most bridge consultants in Kansas have been using the DOS-WSPRO program and the KDOT scour spreadsheets to perform bridge hydraulics and scour analysis for the past several years. Unfortunately, DOS-WSPRO is a DOS program that is no longer supported and there is no metric version. Consequently, the newer Windows-based hydraulics program HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System) developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers appears to be a logical choice to succeed DOS-WSPRO as the basic flow model in KDOT's bridge design and scour analysis program. HEC-RAS has gained considerable popularity in the engineering community and offers many options not previously available to hydraulic modelers. It also has a scour module and has an option, the WSPRO bridge analysis routine (henceforth called HR-WSPRO). This study compared the HEC-RAS program with the DOS-WSPRO program and examined the HEC-RAS program with regard to scour analysis. The possibility of using the existing KDOT scour spreadsheets with output from the HR-WSPRO bridge routine was also considered. Finally, a literature review was performed to determine if any updates in the scour methods and new approaches to special conditions, such as the effect of debris or pressure flow affecting pier scour, were available.

Book Application of the HEC 2 Bridge Routines

Download or read book Application of the HEC 2 Bridge Routines written by Vernon R. Bonner and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document assists the HEC-2 program user in preparing input for the bridge routines. An understanding of the basic program input requirements was assumed. The program computes the energy loss caused by structures such as bridges and culverts in two parts. One part consists of the losses that occur in reaches immediately upstream and downstream from the bridge where contraction and expansion of the flow is taking place. The second part consists of losses at the structure itself. As an alternative to having the program compute the losses, it is possible to input a loss (or water surface elevation) determined externally from the program. Appendixes contain examples of three different types of computer runs. The HEC-2 Users Manual, available from The Hydrologic Engineering Center provides the input specifications for the program. User Manual editions since August 1979 include this training document as an appendix. (Author).

This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this document is to identify and provide design guidelines for bridge scour and stream instability countermeasures that have been implemented by various State departments of transportation (DOTs) in the United States. Countermeasure experience, selection, and design guidance are consolidated from other FHWA publications in this document to support a comprehensive analysis of scour and stream instability problems and provide a range of solutions to those problems. The results of recently completed National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) projects are incorporated in the design guidance, including: countermeasures to protect bridge piers and abutments from scour; riprap design criteria, specifications, and quality control, and environmentally sensitive channel and bank protection measures. Selected innovative countermeasure concepts and guidance derived from practice outside the United States are introduced. In addition, guidance for the preparation of Plans of Action ...
