Abstract
The hydraulic structure called a MEL culvert is described and the bases for design calculations given. A computer program developed to automate the design procedure and to provide an estimate of friction losses through the culvert is described. An example application is provided. Some practical considerations relating to the use of MEL culverts are discussed briefly.
