(A) The locations of 97 cross-sections used in the HEC-RAS mapper component of HEC-RAS 5.0.7 for the 1D step-backwater computation from the breached dam to the bridge. (B) Longitudinal profiles of the water surface and energy grade elevations calculated using the step-backwater method. Peak discharges of 126,000 m3/s and 225,000 m3/s provided the best approximation for the levels of the SWDs at Jiazhong and Shuangyu.
