Link Table Sizes Page

This page allows you to specify the range of link sizes that will be used.  The columns in the sizes table varies depending on the link type.

Pipe Culverts

Option

 

Description

Nominal Diameter (mm)

The nominal size of the pipe, as displayed in the combo box in the Link Data Editor and all views and printouts.

Internal Diameter (mm)

Option

 

Description

Nominal Width (mm)

The standard width of the portal culvert, usually the internal horizontal dimension. This value is used in the hydraulic calculations.

Nominal Height (mm)

The standard height of the portal culvert, usually the internal vertical dimension. This value is used in the hydraulic calculations.

Overall Width (mm)

The outside width of the link. This value is used in the quantities calculations.

Overall Height (mm)

The outside height of the link. This value is used in the minimum cover calculations.

Knee Height (mm)

The distance from the bottom of the culvert to the bend point in the side.

Top Offset (mm)

The horizontal offset from the knee to the top of the culvert.

Minimum Slope (%)

The minimum slope at which the link will be placed in normal circumstances.

Maximum Slope (%)

The maximum slope at which the link will be placed in order to satisfy the minimum velocity requirement.

Side Clearance (mm)

The space on either side of the link in an excavation. This value is used in the excavation, bedding and backfill volumes calculations.

On

 

A toggle to indicate whether this size is available during the analysis. Set 1 for available and 0 for not available.

Minimum Slope (%)

The minimum slope at which the link will be placed in normal circumstances.

Maximum Slope (%)

The maximum slope at which the link will be placed in order to satisfy the minimum velocity requirement.

Maximum Flow (m3/s)

The maximum (full) flow of the link in m3/second.

Maximum Area (m2)

The maximum cross-sectional area of the link in m2.

Side Clearance (mm)

The space on either side of the link in an excavation. This value is used in the excavation, bedding and backfill volumes calculations.

On

A toggle to indicate whether this size is available during the analysis. Set 1 for available and 0 for not available.

Open Drain Culverts

Option

 

Description
