Structure shape versus channel shape<br />

Embankment height above thalweg = 6’<br />

Example of fit solutions:<br />

Low Profile Arch, 16’ wide, expensive due to shape and required thickness, Low<br />

hydraulic capacity.<br />

Concrete box 16’ wide or 24’ valley spanning, or similar thin structural bridge deck gives<br />

the most hydraulic capacity and may be comparable in cost to low profile arch.<br />

Better width<br />

for maximum<br />

hydraulic<br />

capacity<br />

2’ of cover required<br />

BFW = 12’<br />

Good width<br />

for banks
