Vernon R. Bonner*

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to assist the HEC-2 program user
in preparing input for the bridge routines. An understanding of the
basic program input requirements is assumed. General information on
the program is provided in the "HEC-2 Water Surface Profiles - Users
Manual" (reference f). This training document provides a review of
the computational methods available in the program and guidelines on
how to code the necessary data. Examples of input preparation are
provided and the program solutions for the example problems are attached
in the appendices. Suggested approaches for some typical bridge problems
are also presented.
