issue with bridge

[mab aba]

Hi, I don’t know how can I model the bridge in my case?

the bridge is not perpendicular to the flow direction, so I don’t know how can I manage my cross-sections. Any help? thank you:

Hi,

I am a new user, but I have seen some models with bridge skew.

The xsecs do need to cross the river reach perpendicular, but I understand the xsecs shouldn’t cross your bridge/culvert/roadway. In this case, I think the remaining part of the xsec could be parallel with the center line of the bridge.

Consider this model and the 2 most downstream cross sections (highlighted). I think yours could look similar.

Hope that helps!

Does the water ever reach the low chord of the bridge? If not, you could model the piers as blocked obstructions and not worry about the skew of the bridge.

Hi Cameron, can you show me an example?

thank you
