Basin Vol = (storage depth + settling depth) x length x depth

QLD Guidelines
Minimum depth of the settling zone is 0.6 m
Avoid having settling zone greater than 1.0 m
Minimum length:width = 3:1 (single inflow point)
Minimum length:width = 2:1 (multiple inflow point with baffles)
For basin longer than 120 m, the minimum depth is L/200

Discharge Calculation for Small Catchments Area


Project
Manual used

: Balantang
: Queensland Road Drainage Design Manual (issued in June 2003)
: Australian Rainfall and Runoff, 1987
Design flood : 5 years Average Recurrence Interval (ARI)
Peak flow rate calculated using the Rational Method formula: Q y= k x Cy x Itc,y x A
k = 0.278 if A in km 2 or k = 0.00278 if A in hectares.
A = area of catchments
C5 = runoff coefficient for an ARI 5 years (dimension less)

Where :

Itc,5 = average rainfall intensity (mm/h) for design duration of tc hours and ARI of 5 years
tc,5 = time of concentration (hours) for ARI of 5 years
Q5= 5 years ARI design discharge in m3/sec.

Checking:
OK - this headwater is satisfactory as it less than the allowable given in the design data, item f of Step 1.
(b)

Assume OUTLET CONTROL


Since the tailwater level is above the culvert soffit at the outlet, the HW can be calculated from the equation:
HW = H + ho - L x So
ho = TW =
1.10 meter
L x So =
0.215 meter
From the nomograph in Figure F.4.9F and using:
Ke =
0.20 (Table 4.2)
CP diameter
0.381 m
Length of culvert =
21.50 meter
Discharge per cell (Q/N) =
0.12 m3/sec.

We got, Head (H) =

C(1)

0.140 meter

0.38 meter

Therefore, HW = H + ho - L x So =

1.03 m

Checking :
Outlet Control is the governing factor
OK (acceptable) - HW outlet less than Hwa
(c)

As the HW for outlet control is higher than that for inlet control, outlet control is the
governing factor; and being less than the allowable height (HW a) of 2.0 meter is
acceptable.

Step 4
Try a culvert of another type or shape, if a comparison of alternative design cost is to be made
and determine size and head water by above procedure.
Step 5
Compute velocity through the
1
X
381
mm dia.CP
Since inlet control governs, and the head water is below the soffit of the culvert, the part full waterway area is used.
Outlet velocity = Q/Ao =
1.10 m/s
Checking:
Acceptable - velocity less than Vall
Step 6
Make selection and record all relevant data on Figure 4.7 or similar form.
