Tapered Inlet Design using Specific Energy Curves
Design charts to simplify the hydraulic design of tapered inlet culverts for both rectangular and circular sections are presented. The use of these design charts greatly reduces the opportunity for error and the amount of time needed to design a tapered inlet. The use of these tapered inlet culverts in the state of Iowa has resulted in the savings of millions of dollars in construction costs over a period of years. In addition, many of these raised inlet culverts have enabled the highway department to provide ponds for recreation or for stock watering, and have helped control channel degradation and bank erosion.
