Flow through the culvert is very complex depending on the characteristics of hydraulic conditions. A design method using a monograph is normally employed due to the wide range of flow characteristics and the difficulty of calculating inlet water depth. The present study suggests the method for determining the inlet water depth of box culvert using Bernoulli's equation. By employing the explicit equation of inlet water depth, a standard design method of box culvert is developed for a wide range of flow characteristics. Explicit solution techniques are proposed to determine the width and height, slope and discharge of box culvert.

암거 수리설계는 상류부의 수위를 과다하게 상승시키지 않는 상태에서 안전하게 계획홍수량을 하류로 소통시킬 수 있도록 최적의 단면을 결정하는 것이다. 현재 국내 암거 설계는 한국도로공사(1991)에서 발표한 "도로배수계획"을 이용하고 있는데, 이는 주로 미국도로성(FHWA)에서 발표한 설계기법을 따른 것이며, 이 기법은 설계항목과 관련되는 설계유량과 지배단면을 결정하여 시행오차적인 방법으로 계획 상류부 수심을 산정하는 순서로 진행된다. 상류부 수심을 결정하기 위해서 미국도로성의 기법은 계산도표를 이용하여 손실 수두와 한계수심을 산정한다. 그러나 계산도표를 이용하여 설계할 경우 주관적인 오차가 생길 수 있으며 전산해석에 있어서도 큰 장애요인이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 기술된 암거 설계법을 전반적으로 재검토하여 일부 수식 전개 과정에서 발생한 오류를 수정하고, 암거의 규격 산정 시 암거의 형상을 미리 결정하여 암거 프로그램 개발 시 효율적일 것으로 판단되는 새로운 방법을 개발하였다.

The purpose of culvert design is to determine optimum size for a safe drainage of flood discharge. The present method of culvert design in Korea is generally carried out by using "Road Drainage Design" of Korea Expressway Corporation (1991), which is based on the manual of Federal Highway Association (FHWA) of USA. However, this method may result in subjective error because of using graphs and the usage of nomograph can be a major obstacle for computer modelling. Some errors found in the previous works of culvert design are corrected, and a new logic has been developed for a simple determination of culvert size in this study. FHWA (1985) presents a nomograph to determine the critical water depth and the velocity head for a circular pipe, but in this study simple explicit equations have been developed to determine both respectively.

The objective of this study is to optimize the section of RC box culvert and develop a CAD system for drawing. This paper consists of three parts. In the first part, the external load conditions are systematized by using the literatures and specifications. In the second one, the RC box culvert is optimized using the SUMT algorithm. Sizing variables, and steel ratio are taken as design variables, and a cost function as the objective function. The stress and side constraints are derived from the Korea Concrete Specifications for the ultimate strength design. Finally, a data base and CAD system is developed for the drawing of the optimized section of RC box culverts.

A plunge pool is often employed as an energy-dissipating device at the end of a spillway or a pipe culvert. A jet from spillways or pipes frequently generates a scour hole which threatens the stability of the hydraulic structure. Existing scour prediction formulas of plunge pool of spillways or pipe culverts give a wide range of scour depths, and it is, therefore, difficult to accurately predict those scour depths. In this study, a new experimental method and new scour prediction formulas under submerged circular jet for large bed materials with shallow tailwater depths were developed. A major variale, which was not used in previous scour prediction equations, was the ratio of jet size to bed material size. In this study, jet momentum acting on a bed particle and jet diffustion theory were employed to derive scour prediction formulas. Four theoretical formulas were suggested for the two regions of jet diffusion, i.e., the region of flow establishment and the region of established flow. The semi-theoretically developed scour prediction formulas showed close agreement with laboratory experiments performed on a movable bed made of large spherical particles.
