Louisiana DOTD Hydraulics Menu Program

Welcome to HYDR2009. This is the 2009

version of LA DOTD's
Hydraulics Programs. They have been
revised to run in Windows Vista
and Windows 7. These programs are based
on the guidelines and
procedures described in the "LA DOTD
Hydraulics Manual", (1987
Edition). The hydraulics programs have been
rewritten in order to assist
LA DOTD in its conversion from designing in
English units to designing
in metric units. The metric conversion factor
used for pipe sizes is
1 inch = 25 mm. For other dimensions, the
conversion factor used is
1 meter = 39.37 inches. HYDR2009 was
developed by the Louisiana
 Department of Transportation to make its
hydraulics programs easier to
use.

These programs will not convert English units

to metric units or
metric units to English units. They will,
however, enable you to work
in either set of units depending on your
design needs.

RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLAIMER:

----------------------------

The Hydraulics Programs (and HYDR2009T)

have been developed by the Louisiana
Department of Transportation and
Development (LA DOTD) for the design
 of projects conducted by the Department.
They are in accordance with
the guidelines set in "LA DOTD Hydraulics
Manual" (1987 Edition).
They are available upon request to
consultants under contract with LA
DOTD.

Neither the Louisiana Department of

Transportation and Development nor
the programmers shall bear any responsibility
for any errors that may
occur in the use of these programs other than
for state projects under
contract with the Department.

The Department also retains the right to

revise, replace, or terminate
the use of these programs at any time.
 If there are any questions or problems with
the Hydraulics Programs or
HYDR2009, please contact the LA DOTD
Hydraulics Section at
(225)379-1306.

INSTALLATION:
-------------

To install HYDR2009, unzip the file

HYDR2009.ZIP and crate a shortcut
to hydr2009.exe.
 EXECUTION:
----------

To run HYDR2009, double-click the

HYDR2009 shortcut.
A disclaimer and general information about
running the programs will
be displayed. Click on the "OK" and the list
of available programs
will appear. To open a specific program, click
the button for that
program. The first thing each program does
is display a "File
Selection" menu. The program will look for
files with an extension
which matches the program number. For
example, program HYDR1110 looks
for files which end in "110". Select a file by
double clicking on it
 or create a new file by typing a new name in
the "File Name" box.

INPUT FILES:
------------

Two sample input files are provided for each

program, one in English
(e.g., ENGLISH.110) and one in metric (e.g.,
METRIC.110). You may
select one of the existing files or enter a new
file name. Please
note that whatever file name you choose,
HYDR2009 will put the proper
extension on it, whether you want it to or not.
If you select one of
the example files, you may rename it using
the "saveas" option from
the menu.
 OLD FILES:
----------
If you have input files from previous versions
of the LADOTD
Hydraulics programs, you may be able to use
them if you:
1. Copy them to the C:\HYDR2009
directory.
2. Rename them by putting the correct
extension on them:
Program Extension
HYDR1110 .110 (won't work
because of format change)
HYDR1120 .120
HYDR1130 .130
HYDR1140 .140
HYDR2130 .230
HYDR6000 .600
 HYDR6020 .620
Note: If some items were left blank on
these old files, they may
not be interpreted correctly by the new
programs.

RUN:
----

The run option on the menu will take the input

data you have entered
on the screen and process it using the
appropriate hydraulics program.
NOTEPAD will be used to display the results.
You may scroll up and
down to view the results.
