STORM WATER PIPE LINE CALCULATION

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

For Car Parking Area

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

STORM WATER PIPE LINE CALCULATION

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
