<strong>Hydraulic</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> <strong>and</strong> Results – Conclusions<br />
• In 4-Lane – downstream embankment provides shielding for<br />
the upstream embankment<br />
• Maximum velocities are 14 - 18 feet per second (fps) as the unit<br />
flow rates <strong>and</strong> the head differential between upstream <strong>and</strong><br />
downstream increase<br />
• Secondary maximum velocity at downstream shoulder of the<br />
upstream embankment (4 – 9 fps)<br />
• Maximum velocity <strong>and</strong> maximum velocity location depends on<br />
degree of submergence but near edge of pavement to further<br />
down slope in low tailwater condition
