| | |
| Roughness Spacing to Height Ratio -- The user must select a value of either 8.5 or 10 for the ratio of roughness element spacing divided by roughness element height. If after calculations the flow through the roughened section of the culvert impacts on the culvert roof, then the minimum enlarged section height needed to correct this problem will be given and the user will be prompted to enter a value equal to or larger than this minimum value.

| Height, which must be equal to or greater than the height of the culvert.

| Variables from the figure
| |
| | |
| * L -- Length from beginning of one roughness element to the beginning of the next roughness element.
| |
| * h -- Height of roughness element
| |
| * h<sub>1</sub> -- Distance from top of dissipator to ceiling of culvert
| |
| * h<sub>2</sub> -- Height of splash shield on ceiling of culvert
| |
| * h<sub>3</sub> -- Culvert rise
| |
| * y<sub>n</sub> -- Tailwater depth
