Add a hydraulic structure to record its inputs, capacity and governing check.
Learning objectives
- Check inlet and outlet control
- Design open channels
- Design scour protection
Engineering judgment
- Culverts are controlled by the worse of inlet and outlet control.
- Check the Froude number before choosing a dissipator.
