Bridge and Culvert Hydraulics Including Aquatic Organism Passage
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-21-0051
Project Abstract:
This project will develop solutions to key challenges associated with flow modeling for bridge and culvert hydraulics including aquatic organism passage. This includes investigating issues that must be considered during the hydraulic design of culverts including the following:
- allowable headwater;
- type of flow control (inlet control versus outlet control);
- permissible barrel and outlet velocities;
- location and orientation of the barrel(s);
- use of improved inlets;
- potential for siltation and abrasion of the culvert barrel;
- inlet and outlet protection for scour control; debris control;
- and any necessary Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) criteria.
