Criteria and Procedure for Determining Diameter, Slope The general design criteria are typically used for the determination of diameter, slope of storm pipe between two manholes. Those criteria are: i) Vfull Vmin with pipe diameter and slope at their design values ii) Qfull Qdes with pipe diameter and slope at their design values Qdes = the peak runoff rate calculated from rational equation ni cfs Qdes = CiA .(1) C = the runoff coefficient i = the design rainfall intensity, in/hr A = the drainage area, acres
Qdes = CiA .(1) C = the runoff coefficient i = the design rainfall intensity, in/hr A = the drainage area, acres A= 9125 m2 A= 2.1 acre i= 1 in/hr ( see attached reference) C= 0.85 ( see attached reference) Put all values in eq.1

Qdes = 0.85 x 1 x 2.1 Qdes = 1.02 cfs Qdes = Vmin A Vmin = 3 ft/sec Qdes = Vmin D2/4 1.02= 3 X 3.14 D2/4 D = 0.65 ft D = 0.198m= 100 mm Take , 250 mm dia pipe to check the calculation

STORM WATER PIPE LINE CALCULATION 1. Vfull = 1.49/n (D/4)2/3 S 1/2 ..(2) n = 0.009 ( see attached reference) S= slope of pipe 0.40 percent D= 0.21ft Put all values in eq.(2) Vfull = 1.49/0.009 (0.21) 0.66 /2.49 (0.004)1/2 Vfull = 3.82 ft/sec Vfull Vmin
2. Q full = 1.49/n D2/4 (D/4)2/3 S (3) Put all values in eq. (3) Q full = 1.49/0.009 3.14 x (0.21)2/4 (0.21) 0.66 /2.49 (0.004)1/2 Q full = ...9 cfs Qfull Qdes It is clear from above result that the diameter and slope calculated above is
OK.
