HY8:Discharge Data

Discharge Data

HY-8 will perform culvert hydraulic calculations based on the input minimum, design, and maximum discharge values. Calculations comprising the performance curve are made for ten equal discharge intervals between the minimum and maximum values. A user may input a narrower range of discharges in order to examine culvert performance for a discharge interval of special interest.

MINIMUM DISCHARGE

Lower limit used for the culvert performance curve. Can be edited to a number greater than '0'.

DESIGN DISCHARGE

Discharge for which the culvert will be designed. Always included as one of the points on the performance curve.

MAXIMUM DISCHARGE

Upper limit used for the culvert performance curve.
