Composite structures

Composite structures can be defined by combining two or more defined structures. A composite structure can be composed of a combination of Weirs and/or Culverts.

An example of a composite structure could be a bridge with multiple water­ways. Such a structure can be described by a number of culverts, each defin­ing an individual waterway. Additionally, for a potential bridge deck overtopping a weir can be included to describe such overflow.

A set of structures forming a composite structure are recognized by the pro­gram from the location definitions. Locations must be completely identical for all the structures forming the composite structure. That is, the table of coordi­nates defining the structure locations must be exactly identical (number of coordinates and coordinate values) for all structures defined.
