Peak Flow Analysis, con’t

2, con’t) Determine capacity of culvert

B) Losses

a) Determine % of rise/diameter loss b) Read culvert %surface area (%SA) loss from losses chart

c) Reduce total culvert SA by %SA losses

d) Use new culvert SA to extrapolate capacity from chart

3) Compare culvert capacity to peak flow
