4. Hydraulic Analysis and Design

Question 1

What is the design frequency?

Answer 1

It indicates the average number of years that will pass before the design loading of the structure is exceeded.

Question 2

The design frequencies for various hydrological structures are normally specified by…. What happens nexT?

Answer 2

local, provincial national agencies on the basis of normal engineering practices. Once this frequency is specified, the design loading can be determined using HYDROLOGIC analysis. Then the structure can finally be designed using HYDAULIC analysis.

Question 3

What is Hydrologic analysis?

Answer 3

used to find design requirements for various types of water resources using the watershed hydrograph. It is associated with Volume(water supply facilities), Peak(Channels, culverts, storm sewers) and Shape (flood control structures and storm management facilities)
