Computer-Aided Structural Engineering (CASE) Project. CCHAN--Structural Design of Rectangular Channels According to Corps of Engineers Criteria for Hydraulic Structures. Computer Program X0097

Abstract

The computer program CCHAN (X0097) for rectangular reinforced concrete channels, and its companion program CBASIN for stilling basins, were obtained from the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) of the US Department of Agriculture for US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) use in obtaining preliminary structural designs of important or unusual structures or complete designs of small, routine structures. These programs were adapted to Corps of Engineers criteria for hydraulic structures, and additional output information on member forces and moments was added. The SCS program document is included in this report as Appendix A. Information in the main text of this report supplements or supersedes portions of the SCS document. Keywords: Channels (waterways); Drainage; Hydraulic structure; Soil conservation service; Structural design.
