► Check flows in HEC-RAS (select “Edit/Enter steady flow data”)
► Verify flows are the same for 1% annual chance and floodway
► If new hydrology is NOT submitted, flows should match effective model

► XS’s should be based upon topography
► Perpendicular to flow
► Placed at pinch points and immediately downstream of pinch points
► At breaks in ground profile
► XS’s should be placed at changes in Manning’s “n”
► XS’s should pick up large obstructive buildings
► General rule on XS placement is 2 or 3 times the width of the floodplain
► XS placement can vary depending on floodplain width and conditions of stream
► Ensure there is not a large stream section without a XS
► Keep in mind, effective model has been approved

► Ensure cross sections don’t cross stream centerline more than once
Cross Section Placement

This XS is close to
crossing twice,
but it is
acceptable

► Cross sections should be perpendicular to stream and floodplain
► If skew is greater than 30 degrees, a skew angle should be utilized in HEC-RAS

Avoid XS’s not perpendicular to stream More Ideal XS placement

► Center flow path is equal to the stream centerline
► Left and right flow paths are theoretically
supposed to be drawn along the centroid of flow
between the banks and edge of the floodplain.
► Visually 1/3 and 1/2 the distance from the banks and
edge of floodplain
► Visually check on map

► “Highest Energy Answer”
► High Flow methods
► Pressure/Weir (typical)
► Energy – significantly overtopped
► Methodology can vary
► Often used to smooth profile or fix floodways.
► Need justification
