Bridge Design

The Alaska Highway Drainage Manual  has been published to outline the basic principles of hydraulic design as they affect highway drainage problems. This manual is not meant to be a textbook for all aspects of drainage problems, but rather a guide to be used with sound engineering judgment to obtain safe and economical designs. We are currently revising the remaining sections of this manual, and will post new chapters as they are approved.
