Design of a Floodplain Road Crossing Using Two Dimensional Modeling

by Nathan R. South, (A.M.ASCE),
Andrzej J. Kosicki,
Michael A. Ports, (F.ASCE),



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: North American Water and Environment Congress & Destructive Water

Abstract:

A two dimensional hydraulic model (FESWMS) is prepared to evaluate flood conditions for the Canal Parkway Project, located in western Maryland. The parkway includes a 32 meter bridge replacement of an existing arch culvert over the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and a significant roadway embankment encroaching upon the Potomac River floodplain. The study area includes a variety of complicated hydraulic features.
