AASHTO Releases New Highway Drainage Manual

AASHTO Journal, 2 May 2014

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) this week announced that the AASHTO Drainage Manual, 1st Edition, is now available.

Developed by the AASHTO Technical Committee on Hydrology and Hydraulics, the AASHTO Drainage Manual, which supersedes AASHTO’s 2005 Model Drainage Manual, provides transportation agencies, specifically hydraulics engineers, with guidelines for establishing state-specific policy and procedures for the design of highway drainage facilities.

The information in the manual is divided into two volumes: Volume One, Policy, provides guidelines for drainage design policies, criteria, and standards; and Volume Two, Procedures, which provides hydrologic and hydraulic design procedures frequently used by highway hydraulics engineers.

To order a copy of the AASHTO Drainage Manual, visit the AASHTO Bookstore online at bookstore.transportation.org, and search by the publication’s item code, ADM-1-CD. You may also contact the AASHTO Bookstore by phone at 800-231-3475 to place your order.

The manual is available as a CD-ROM (Item Code: ADM-1) at a cost $144, or $120 for AASHTO member organizations.
