Abstract
In the hydraulic design of steep highway culverts in mountainous areas, in addition to determining the size of culverts to drain the design discharge, the design of energy dissipators in the culvert body to reduce the size of the dissipators downstream of the culverts is also considered. Currently, in Vietnam, single broken-back culverts consisting of a steeper portion near the inlet and a followed mild slope section may be used as an internal energy dissipator for steep highway culverts or culverts as straight drops. In this study, a physical model was built by producing roughness elements at the end of the culverts to dissipate the outlet velocities with high energy. The study showed that the roughness elements played an important role in dissipating the flow energy at the outlet, remarkably, when the culvert slope ranged from 5% to 13%, and the proposal roughness elements reduced energy by over 50%.
