## FHWA HYRAULICSACTIVITIES

- HIBT

- July 18, 2000

**Notes:**
The status of  the following FHWA Hydraulics activities will be discussed as they relate to highway culverts:
   FHWA Hydraulics Manuals 
  AASHTO Publications
   NHI Training Courses
   Pipe Materials Data
   Culvert Design & Durability Guidelines
   Hydraulics Team

## HYDRAULICS MANUALS(Conversion to Dual Units)

**HEC 18, 20, 23**
**HEC 22, Urban Drainage Design**
**HDS 4, Intro. to Highway Hydraulics**
**HDS 5, Hydraulic Design of Culverts**
**HDS 6, HIRE**

- HIBT

- July 18, 2000

**Notes:**
Hydraulic Engineering Circular (HEC) contains design procedures and example problems.  An HEC is a guideline in development.
HEC 22, Urban Drainage Design
  Hydraulic design of storm drains
  Hydraulic design of pump stations
Hydraulic Design Series (HDS) also contains design procedures and examples problems.  An HDS is a mature design procedure.
HDS 4, Introduction to Highway Hydraulics, explains hydraulics principles and simplified equations for energy, continuity and momentum.  The principles are applied to open channels, culverts, storm drains and energy dissipators.
HDS 5, Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts, was recently reprinted. The table of Manning’s n values for culverts was updated and now also includes values for High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe.
CDROM, FHWA Hydraulics Library will be available this summer.  It will contain 33 publications including HECs 1-23 and HDS 1-5.  Approximately 7000 pages of text and figures.

**Notes:**
  Tables of Culvert Usage data for 1986-1997 are
    available from Philip Thompson, 202-366-4611.
  Consult bridge web site for status of activities,
    publications, and software.

Background Notes on Design & Durability of Culverts
  Current guidelines are “Durability of  Special Coatings for Corrugated Steel Pipe,”
    FHWA-FLP-91-006 which was authored by John Potter of Corps of Engineers.
  John O’Fallon is COTR for $100,000 study to update guidelines for Aluminum
    coated Type II by collecting more years of data (Study requested by ACPA).
  Field studies were complete in 1996 and a draft report was prepared.  (Draft report
   was reviewed by ACPA and NCSPA both raised concerns about study and data.)
  The contractor was asked to restudy controversial sites and reanalyze data.  In 1997,
    John O’Fallon & industry representatives visited sites on Natchez Trace Parkway.
  Final report completion has been delayed by lack of funds.
