I'm helping a local organization with the erection of a 40x50 foot timber-frame pavilion to be used for outdoor education and events. Basically a timber-frame roof resting on 8 timber posts with open walls. The question is what to use for the foundation under each of the 8 posts. The posts...
Does anyone have experiences with batch detention systems they would like to share? I'm particularly interested in the design and modeling aspects of these systems. Since they involve active outlet controls (valves, gates, etc) they cannot be modeled with a standard head-dependent outlet...
Modeling runoff from solar arrays is an increasingly common challenge for H&H engineers. Solutions range from ignoring the panels, to special Curve Number weighting, to separate routing of the flow under each panel. I would be interested to know how the engineers on this forum are tackling the...
HydroCAD-10 includes a dam breach capability which makes the detail in this previous thread obsolete: thread789-280898
The new dam breach outlet allows for a progressive breach triggered at any desired time or water surface elevation. The breach itself if modeled as a rectangular or...
I thought this might be of interest to folks on Eng-Tips:
Storm Water Challenge: Flow Restrictor Design
The Chicago Department of Water Management seeks designs for the next generation of Flow Restrictors to be installed in catch basins throughout the City sewer system. Flow Restrictors allow...
ckidd asked: This should be a simple question but I do not see the statement in the owner's manual when placing a horizontal cylinder storage that is at a slope what is the invert of the storage, the inlet elevation or the oulet elevation?
To keep the Manual readable, you will find this kind...
The January issue of Erosion Control Magazine has an interesting article that describes various applications for HydroCAD. You can find the article online at www.forester.net/ecm_0401_modeling.html
Scroll down to the eighth paragraph for the discussion of HydroCAD.
I've seen a wide range of HydoCAD applications from simple detention pond designs, to underground detention and exfiltration, and even mine drainage systems! It would be interesting to know how others are using HydroCAD.
