APPENDIX F - ENERGY DISSIPATERS<br />

PA DEP<br />

Two examples of energy dissipaters are provided in this appendix for informational purposes only. The<br />

Department recognizes that there are many other possible design configurations, which could be used<br />

with satisfactory results.<br />

Wherever other designs are employed, they should conform to the specifications cited in the reference<br />

used. In all such cases, these specifications should be listed in the narrative along with supporting<br />

calculations to show that the proposed dissipater meets all design specifications as well as reducing the<br />

anticipated discharge velocity to an acceptable level.<br />

All necessary construction information, such as dimensions, elevations, etc., should be clearly shown<br />

on the plan drawings.<br />

For additional information regarding design of energy dissipaters, see Hydraulic Design of Energy<br />

Dissipaters for Culverts <strong>and</strong> Channels, HEC No. 14, U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal<br />

Highway Administration. Copies of this publication can be obtained by contacting:<br />
