Presentación estándar para diseño hidráulico de alcantarillas

Bejarano Caballero, Ricardo | 2017

At the national level, there is a contrast between the hydraulic design for urban sewage and the hydraulic road design, where, for the first case, standard formats are used, endorsed and suggested by some entities providing public services in order to guarantee the quality of the designs, and streamline and give reliability to the review by the supervisor; the second case, various formats developed by the designer are used, based on methodologies and models endorsed in the Road Drainage Manual of Invías, so that if, in the opinion of the supervisor, information must be included or deleted in the data presentation and results, greater time is generated in the execution of the designs for such projects. Due to the above, based on the theory presented in the Road Drainage Manual of Invías and the requeriments in road projects, a standard format is proposed for the presentation of the hydraulic design of minor culverts, from hydraulic diagnosis and evaluation of the existing culverts, to the dimensioning of the culverts required for the correct drainage of the road corridors, with optimal results of application for the inlet control condition; for the outlet control condition, differences were obtained due to the characteristics and conditions that are present when the culverts as a closed pipe and in some cases with partially filled flow, but this not altering the criterion design of inlet flow control or outlet flow control.
