For circular, box, elliptical, pipe arch, and concrete open-bottom arch (commonly called CON/SPAN) culverts, polynomial coefficients, found in Tables 1-5, are utilized in the inlet control headwater computations.  Tables 6-10 show the HW/D points A(1) through A(10) for interpolation.  Each row of coefficients represents different entrance conditions for different culvert shapes.
== Overview ==


   
For circular, box, elliptical, pipe arch, concrete open-bottom arch (commonly called CON/SPAN), and South Dakota Concrete Box culverts, polynomial coefficients, found in Tables 1-6, are utilized in the inlet control headwater computations. Other culvert shapes use Table 7, which shows the HW/D points A(1) through A(10) for interpolation.  Each row of coefficients represents different inlet configurations for different culvert shapes.
 
== Note About Coefficient Changes in HY-8 7.3 and Higher ==
 
In HY-8 7.3 and later versions of HY-8, several significant changes were made to the coefficients used in HY-8.  A summary of the changes to the HY-8 coefficients in this version follows:
 
=== Changes to Shapes Using Polynomial Coefficients ===
 
Changed the slope correction coefficient, SR, used for all the mitered inlet configurations to the recommended -0.7
 
=== Changes to Box Culverts ===
 
Changed the 1.5:1 Bevel Wingwall inlet configuration from HY-8 Equation 6 to equation 2.  For HY-8 Equations 2, 3, and 6, added 0.01 to the "A" Coefficient in the shape database to account for the fact that the equations were derived using a 2% slope (a 2% slope was used to derive the polynomial equations, meaning 0.5(0.02) was subtracted from each of the polynomial curves and needed to be added back into the equations before correcting for slopes).
 
=== Changes to Shapes using A(1) to A(10) Interpolation Coefficients ===
 
Added the slope correction term SR*Slope to the interpolation equations in the code and added 0.01 to the interpolation coefficients for thin, square, and bevel inlets.  Subtracted 0.01 for the mitered inlet.  Added the SR coefficients (All = 0.5 except for mitered which = -0.7) to the coefficient database and the documentation on this page.

Overview

For circular, box, elliptical, pipe arch, concrete open-bottom arch (commonly called CON/SPAN), and South Dakota Concrete Box culverts, polynomial coefficients, found in Tables 1-6, are utilized in the inlet control headwater computations. Other culvert shapes use Table 7, which shows the HW/D points A(1) through A(10) for interpolation. Each row of coefficients represents different inlet configurations for different culvert shapes.

Note About Coefficient Changes in HY-8 7.3 and Higher

In HY-8 7.3 and later versions of HY-8, several significant changes were made to the coefficients used in HY-8. A summary of the changes to the HY-8 coefficients in this version follows:

Changes to Shapes Using Polynomial Coefficients

Changed the slope correction coefficient, SR, used for all the mitered inlet configurations to the recommended -0.7

Changes to Box Culverts

Changed the 1.5:1 Bevel Wingwall inlet configuration from HY-8 Equation 6 to equation 2. For HY-8 Equations 2, 3, and 6, added 0.01 to the "A" Coefficient in the shape database to account for the fact that the equations were derived using a 2% slope (a 2% slope was used to derive the polynomial equations, meaning 0.5(0.02) was subtracted from each of the polynomial curves and needed to be added back into the equations before correcting for slopes).

Changes to Shapes using A(1) to A(10) Interpolation Coefficients

Added the slope correction term SR*Slope to the interpolation equations in the code and added 0.01 to the interpolation coefficients for thin, square, and bevel inlets. Subtracted 0.01 for the mitered inlet. Added the SR coefficients (All = 0.5 except for mitered which = -0.7) to the coefficient database and the documentation on this page.
