This chapter provides an overview of energy dissipator design based on guidance from the AASHTO Drainage Manual and HEC-14 Hydraulic Design of Energy Dissipators for Culverts and Channels. HEC-14 provides in-depth procedures for analyzing energy dissipation at culvert outlets and in open channels, including both internal and external dissipators located on or below the streambed. This chapter references HEC-14 for detailed design of energy dissipators, noting that its methods have been automated in the FHWA HY-8 software program.

This chapter is based on Chapter 12 Energy Dissipators of the AASHTO Drainage Manual (1)

and HEC-14 Hydraulic Design of Energy Dissipators for Culverts and Channels (2), The
AASHTO Drainage Manual provided recommended policy and criteria. HEC-14 provides
indepth
design information for analyzing energy dissipation problems at culvert outlets and in
open channels. HEC-14 includes procedures for designing dissipators that are both internal
and external to the culvert and that are located on or below the streambed.
HEC-14 should be used when designing energy dissipators. This chapter provides a brief
overview of energy dissipators and references HEC-14 for detailed design. The HEC-14 design
methods have been automated in the FHWA software HY-8. See Chapter 16 “Hydraulic
Software.” a good
