Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 14 (HEC-14) describes several energy dissipating structures that can be used with culverts. HEC-14 describes procedures that can be used to compute scour hole sizes and design internal and external dissipators. It outlines the following steps that can be used when designing a culvert:

HEC-14 also describes the energy dissipators and their limitations as follows:

  1. ^ At release point from culvert or channel
  2. ^ Debris notes: N = none, L = low, M = moderate, H = heavy
  3. ^ Bed slope must be in the range 4% < So < 25%
  4. ^ Check headwater for outlet control
  5. ^ Discharge, Q < 11 m3/s (400 ft3/s) and Velocity, V < 15 m/s (50 ft/s)
  6. ^ Culvert rise less than or equal to 1500 mm (60 in)
  7. ^ Drop < 4.6 m (15 ft)
  8. ^ Drop < 3.7 m (12 ft)
na = not applicable.
