Maximum culvert HW/D =1.5 why?
Maximum culvert HW/D =1.5 why?
(OP)
Does anyone have an idea of why we often limit our culvert headwater depth versus diameter (HW/D) to a maximum 1.5 to 2.0? I've seen these values mentioned in various stormwater design manuals.
Does it have something to do with uplift pressures on the conduit?
