Can Culvert Flow Method formula be used for SD pipe sizing in place of WSPG software?
Can Culvert Flow Method formula be used for SD pipe sizing in place of WSPG software?
(OP)
I’m a reviewing a hydraulic analysis of a 42” SD system (1,700LF long) that carries a constant flow of 150CFS. Instead of WSPG program the designer is using a manual formula of Culvert Flow Method/ Open Channel Hydraulics by Richard French. The entire system consists of 17 different sections with varying slopes and directions throughout. He analyzes each section individually as if it is a separate culvert instead of a continuous conduit. Any advice would be appreciated.
