Hydraulic Issues Related to Rehabilitation of Culverts
February 12, 2025 @ 3:10 pm - 4:00 pm EST
Location: Kojo Kamau B – 4th Floor
Speaker: David Claman, P.E. – FHWA Resource Center
Presentation Description:
The design of culverts is dependent upon many factors that influence hydraulic capacity based on operating in inlet or outlet control.
The presentation will discuss these factors and how the culvert hydraulic capacity is affected (or not) by different rehabilitation techniques. Different culvert material types along with distinct rehabilitation methods will be discussed.
