Hardy Cross method

The Hardy Cross method is an iterative technique used primarily in civil and environmental engineering for analyzing indeterminate structures, especially in the analysis of flow in water distribution networks or sewer systems. It was developed by the engineer Hardy Cross in the early 20th century. ### Key Features of the Hardy Cross Method: 1. **Loop Analysis**: It works on the principle of analyzing loops in a network (like those in fluid flow systems) and calculating flow rates through pipes by considering conservation of mass and continuity.
