Culvert Outlets

Inlet and outlet losses for a culvert can be specified as part of a conduit when you set the Conduit type property to Culvert. See the Conduit Data Fields for further information.

This topic refers to the method where the inlet and outlet losses for a culvert are specified separately using culvert inlet and culvert outlet controls. The inlet and outlet controls are defined in the Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts, Third Edition published by FHWA.

Using this method, three links are required to define a culvert:

When using the three link method, the Conduit type field for the conduit should be set to Conduit, and both the upstream and downstream headloss types for the conduit should be set to NONE.
