CTC 462 LAB 6 (Drainage Areas/Design Frequencies)

 1. Using the Torne Valley plans and the attached USGS topo map (1"=1000"), delineate and determine the drainage area for each cross culvert to be replaced:

Red indicates stations at which culverts were replaced with new culverts.

2. Using Chapter 8 of the Highway Design Manual, determine the design frequencies to be used for analyzing the proposed cross culverts and the roadside ditches.
