Abstract
Several software programs have been developed to assist in the hydraulic design and analysis of culverts. Of the available programs, HY8 is the most widely used and distributed. The first version of HY8 was provided by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for distribution in the 1980s. Since that time, understanding of culvert hydraulics has increased significantly and acceptable modeling techniques have been further developed. Computer capabilities have also advanced to facilitate better graphical displays and post processing options. As a result, modernization of HY8 is timely. This paper will provide a brief overview of the existing HY8 software in order to understand its capabilities and limitations. Further, the need for and status of an updated version of HY8 will be presented, including a comparison of the old and new HY8 interfaces.
