Roadway Spread

Determines the width of water spread across a roadway pavement and curb flow depth using the HEC-22 Manning's equation for triangular gutter sections: T = (Q*n / (K_u * Sx^(5/3) * S_L^(1/2)))^(3/8). Used for inlet spacing design and pavement drainage adequacy checks to ensure roadway safety during design storms.
