Culvert Hydraulic Design Fundamentals Using HY-8

📹 Culvert Hydraulic Design 101 Using HY-8 In this video, I introduce HY-8 — a free FHWA software tool that automates culvert design calculations for both inlet and outlet control scenarios. ✅ What you'll learn: How to input site data and select culvert types How HY-8 calculates headwater elevation, outlet velocity, and checks for roadway overtopping How to interpret results and improve culvert design 🧰 Why use HY-8? Before HY-8, engineers relied on nomographs and trial-and-error methods. HY-8 does the heavy lifting — it runs the equations, tests various pipe options, and shows you performance plots instantly. 📝 Classroom Exercise: A local township is experiencing overtopping issues. You'll model the existing culvert, assess its hydraulic performance, and propose design upgrades if needed. 🔗 Links: 💻 My GitHub Page (More Resources + Input Files): https://github.com/mohsennasab/culver...
