The paper deals with an experimental determination of total drag coefficients of bodies of various shapes embedded in a free stream flow. The shapes of bodies were chosen by such way that they could model simple bridge constructions or culverts. The bodies were mostly overflowed. The drag coefficients can be used to calculate an afflux of the embedded bodies.
