Hydraulic Capacity of Precast Concrete Boxes

hydraulic comparison between various shapes cannot be made solely on the basis of cross-sectional areas or peripheries. For two conduits of similar materials and different shapes to be hydraulically equivalent, it is necessary for the factor A x R2/3 to be the same for both. Multiplying this factor by 1.486/n accounts

GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF …

the guide does state that any facing element can be used. The outer wall facing can be built with natural rock, concrete modular block, gabions, timber, or geosynthetic wrapped face. However, with other facing elements, special design considerations may apply, and it goes on to state that such considerations are beyond the scope of the guide.
