Motivation and Objectives HEC-RAS Hydraulic Model Stream Cross-Section Mapping GIS Data Models 3-D Terrain Modeling Floodplain Mapping Outline
3
Map-Based Hydrology and Hydraulics ArcView Input Data DEM HEC-HMS Flood discharge HEC-RAS Water surface profiles ArcView Flood plain maps CRWR-PrePro
4
Computer automation results in time and resource savings versus manual floodplain plotting Flood insurance rate determination Economic impact analysis and flood early warning systems Design of drainage control structures, including storm drains, culverts, and bridges Motivation: Why map floodplains in GIS?
5
Develop procedure to process computed water surface profiles generated from HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling and draw floodplain maps in ArcView GIS Synthesize a TIN terrain model from HEC-RAS cross-sectional data and a digital elevation model (DEM) Objectives

HEC-RAS: Background Hydraulic model of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Input = cross-section geometry and flow rates Output = flood water elevations Cross-Section Schematic
8
Points describe channel and floodway geometry Bank station locations Water surface elevations and floodplain boundaries HEC-RAS: Cross-Section Representation
9
HEC-RAS: Output Text File Graphical
10
Data translation from HEC-RAS output text file to dbase table Table data includes the river station IDs, various cross-section coordinates, reach lengths, & computed flood elevations HEC-RAS: Data Translation

Motivation HEC-RAS Hydraulic Model Stream Cross-Section Mapping GIS Data Models 3-D Terrain Modeling Floodplain Mapping Outline
12
Digital orthophotograph and road coverage used as a base map User defines stream centerline Definition points identify key stream cross-sections Stream Centerline Mapping
13
Cross-Section Mapping One to one relationship established between table records and definition points
14
Assume straight line cross-sections Proportional aliasing for cross-section location User input for cross- section orientation Cross-Section Mapping

16
Points, lines, and polygons Typically used for linear feature representation GIS Data Models: Vector
17
Square grid cells Typically used for steady- state spatial modeling and two-dimensional surface representation Digital Elevation Model (DEM) GIS Data Models: Raster
18
Mesh of equilateral triangles Used for three-dimensional surface representation and drainage analysis. Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) GIS Data Models: TIN

3D Terrain Modeling: Procedure Inside Channel: Vector Outside Channel: Raster Result: TIN
21
DEM raster to vector conversion Form polygon bounding the cross-sections Delete any DEM points falling within the bounding polygon 3D Terrain Modeling: Procedure
22
3D Terrain Modeling Problem: elevation differences at the end of the cross-section
23
3D Terrain Modeling Re-sample cross sections to eliminate elevation differences
24
3D Terrain Modeling Build TIN model from re-sampled cross-sections and DEM
