Locate Structures

Function

This command places a structure on a flow polyline of the watershed schematic for TR-20 Hydrograph Development. The program prompts for elevation, discharge and storage data for the structure which is equivalent to the TR-20 STRUCT table data. At the bottom left of the dialog, the Water Elevation at T=0 is the water-surface elevation at the structure at the beginning of the storm. A triangle structure symbol that contains the structure data is drawn on the flow polyline. The File button can be used to read the stage-discharge in .STG files and the stage-storage in .CAP files. The storage or discharge in the file is added to the table. Stage-storage files can be created with the Bench Pond Design, Valley Pond Design and Calculate Stage-Storage commands. Stage-discharge files can be created with the Drop Spillway, Design Channel and Design Culvert routines. The Stage-Discharge Curve button shows a graph of stage-discharge for the current entries. The TR-20 processing engine limits the number of stage-storage-discharge entries to twenty. Also the initial discharge must be zero due to the TR-20 engine.
