We have a situation where we will install a 2-box, 8' square culvert under a road. The worst case will have 2' of water flowing over the top of the road. Velocity is about 3.5 ft/s.
I'm just looking for some guidance on the direction to go. I suspect we'll need some sort of anchor system, but it's the total lateral loading that I'm having trouble with. Could it be as simple as calculating the head loss across the system (2 openings plus the weir flow over the top) and applying that differential pressure to the upstream face?
Also, I'm getting really large Reynolds numbers that indicate the standard equations wouldn't apply (DW, Churchill). Is there something else I should use?
Thanks in advance...
