ROOF'S RAINWATER RUN-OFF W L

ROOF CATCHMENT AREA ( A ) = 12 x 8 m

= 96.00 m2

TAKING RAINFALL INTENSITY ( I ) = 150 mm/hr

= 4.16667E-005 m/s

ROOF RAINWATER DISCHARGE QR = Ax I

DISCHARGE (Q) = 4.0 lts/sec

GUTTER'S DISCHARGE CAPACITY

TRY SIZE WIDTH 300 x DEPTH 250

WETTED PERIMETER P = 0.5 + 0.300 250

= 0.800 m 300

CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA A = 0.25 x 0.300

= 0.075 m2

HYDRAULIC RADIUS R = A/P

= 0.093 m

ROUGHNESS COEFFICIENT n = 0.01 (FOR GALVANISED STEEL)

TAKING GUTTER GRADIENT S = 1 : 1000

= 0.001

GUTTER DISCHARGE CAPACITY QR = 1/n * A * R(2/3) * S(1/2)

= 0.0486837 > 0.004 REQD QR [SAFE]

DOWNSPOUT AREA = 17662.5 mm2 DIA 150 mm size of pipe

GUTTER DEPTH 250 x WIDTH 300 IS SUFFICIENT. ADD 25mm FREEBOARD.

SIZE SELECTED = 275 x 300 mm.

DOWN SPOUTS SIZED @ 95mm2 PER SQM OF ROOF AREA = 9120 mm2
275
Downspout spacing as per Copper Development Association Formulae 300

Roof run governs:

DS = 19(a)(28/13)*(m)(16/13)*(33450/CWI)(10/13)
= 63.18 m
Downspout governs:
DS = 44 A/CWI
= 43.18 m
