HEC-RAS
Hydraulic Analysis Components
The HEC-RAS system contains several river analysis components for: (1) steady flow water surface profile computations;
(2) one- and two-dimensional unsteady flow simulation; (3) movable boundary sediment transport computations; and (4)
water quality analysis. A key element is, that all four components use a common geometric data representation and
common geometric and hydraulic computation routines. In addition to these river analysis components, the system contains
several hydraulic design features that can be invoked once the basic water surface profiles are computed.

Steady Flow Water Surface Profiles

This component of the modeling system is intended for calculating water surface profiles for steady gradually varied flow.
The system can handle a full network of channels, a dendritic system, or a single river reach. The steady flow component is
capable of modeling subcritical, supercritical, and mixed flow regimes water surface profiles.

The basic computational procedure is based on the solution of the one-dimensional energy equation. Energy losses are
evaluated by friction (Manning's equation) and contraction/expansion (coefficient multiplied by the change in velocity head).
The momentum equation may be used in situations where the water surface profile is rapidly varied. These situations
include mixed flow regime calculations (i.e., hydraulic jumps), hydraulics of bridges, and evaluating profiles at river
confluences (stream junctions).

Preguntas:

a. De acuerdo al texto que acaba de leer, diga si es verdadero o falso que el programa HEC-RAS
usa la Ecuación de Manning para evaluar las pérdidas de energía por fricción.

__x__ Verdadero

____ Falso

b. El componente 1 del programa HEC-RAS (“Steady flow water surface profile computations”)
busca principalmente calcular el perfil de la superficie del agua para flujos gradualmente
variados.

__x__ Verdadero

____ Falso

(2) En la publicación de Lecciones Aprendidas de Ingenieria (Lessons Learned. Part 1 - Engineering),

publicada en el Grupo de Linked-In (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lessons-learned-part-1-
engineering-howard-velasquez-m-asce/), la lección aprendida numero 15 dice: “15. Obtain site survey
as early in project as possible.” Explique brevemente porque es importante esa recomendación desde
el punto de vista de Drenajes.
_A la hora de proyectar un drenaje se debe conocer todas las características y condiciones del terreno,
esta parte es fundamental ya que ahí se descartan irregularidades en el sitio de obra que puedan
afectar el funcionamiento o construcción de la misma.________
