Scupper Design

Scupper Design

Scupper Design

(OP)
I am currently working on a bridge that needs scuppers and I am looking for any direction on the calculations required for sizing, spacing and quantity.

RE: Scupper Design

The CalTrans website should have a design example.

It's been a long time since I designed scuppers but it's straight-forward.

RE: Scupper Design

Do you have a drainage engineer on your project? Could they assist you?

RE: Scupper Design

All you need for this is the FHWA publication on drainage for bridges.  Go to the FHWA website and look for the Hydraulic Engineering Circular (HEC).

They have about 5 examples for various conditions and locations.
