NOTES:
(Each line in the spreadsheet designs the pipe between two adjacent manholes assuming
that the pipe flows full at design flow rate.) See manhole map below.
Col. 13 calculates the ground surface slope using surface elevations from Col 18 & 19.
(If pipe slope > surface slope, use calculated pipe slope. If pipe slope < surface slope,
set the pipe slope equal to the surface slope if needed to maintain minimum cover.)
Col. 14 & 15 calculate Vfull and Qfull, using the Manning equation, with pipe diam. = D std and
pipe slope = selected slope (pipe slope or surface slope)
Col. 16 & 17 calculate the pipe flow time, using t pipe = length/Vfull.
Col. 18 & 19: Enter values from the manhole map.
Col. 20 & 21 calculates the invert elevation at each manhole using the ground surface elevation,
minimum cover, pipe slope, and pipe diameter. (min. cover = 1.5 m in the example)
Col. 22 & 23 calculate the cover depth as a check to be sure it is adequate.
Col. 24: Enter the selected design slope (typically pipe slope or surface slope)
This slope is used in Col 14, 15, & 21 calculations.
For derivation of the IDF equation, enter data for storm duration, , vs storm intensity, i, from an IDF
graph or table for the sewer location at the specified design return period.
The Excel formulas will calculate 1/i, and calculate the constants a and b for the equation,
i = a/( + b), based on linear regression of vs 1/i.
The derived equation can then be used to calculate design storm intensity, i, for Col. 8.
