Enhanced Hydrology Equations for Accurate Bridge and Culvert Design in SC, NC, and GA

This project developed more accurate hydrology equations applicable across state borders for South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. With the inclusion of additional monitoring stations, a segment of the Piedmont region in South Carolina, previously considered unique, was found to fall well within the range of the collected data. As a requirement, all hydraulic design studies related to bridge and culvert replacement in rural areas must now utilize these new equations. Hydraulic engineering manuals have been updated to reflect these changes, and a new resource link has been integrated into the SCDOT website for consultants’ reference.

Presentation Transcript

  1. RESULTS • MORE ACCURATE EQUATIONS WERE DEVELOPED • THE EQUATIONS ARE APPLICABLE ACROSS THE BORDERS FOR SC, NC, AND GA • WITH ADDITIONAL STATIONS, A PORTION OF THE PIEDMONT REGION IN SC THAT PREVIOUSLY APPEARED UNIQUE WAS FOUND TO BE WELL WITHIN THE SCATTER OF DATA FOR THE REGION

  2. IMPLEMENTATION • ALL HYDRAULIC DESIGN STUDIES FOR BRIDGE AND CULVERT REPLACEMENT PROJECTS IN RURAL BASINS ARE REQUIRED TO USE THE EQUATIONS • HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING MANUALS WERE REVISED TO INCLUDE THE NEW EQUATIONS • A LINK WAS ADDED TO THE SCDOT INTERNET SITE FOR CONSULTANTS’ USE
