putting in a bend in HEC-RAS
putting in a bend in HEC-RAS
(OP)
Hello. I am new to HEC-RAS. I have been given a project in which I am to analyse a existing storm water culvert which changes as one goes down the stream. So far everything seems to be pretty self-explanatory with regards to setting up cross-sections and culvert shapes and what not. But I would like to know just how exactly I am meant to place the existing bend in the culvert? Do I put in a junction? In which case how am I meant to put the kind of bend into the junction editor?
Thanks

But can you elaborate on "the values of distances for the right and left banks should reflect a bend"

If there is a concern about looking into losses associated with bends in a culvert, HEC-Ras is probably not the best tool to use. To my knowledge you cannot account for these types of losses in HEC-Ras. I would recommend using SWMM. You can account for the bend losses directly in the attribute editor. Hope this helps.
