Chapter TR-26- 55 Method for various basins

26.1 Introduction
The Department of Agriculture in the United States presented in June 1986 by
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) O Technical Release 55, that is, the TR-55 is designed to larger urban
basins 4ha to 65km 2, better known as SCS TR-55, incorporating what had been published in January 1976 by Soil
Conservation Service (SCS).
The TR-55 has its own methodology for determining the peak discharge volume and holding for urban and
rural areas. It does not present the complete hydrograph and can be used easily for several basins.

For the use of TR-55 is required 24h time of rain.

Tip- SCS TR-55 method is good for determining peak flow volume and detention. To complete hydrograph
must use the original SCS.

26.2 SCS TR-55


The SCS TR-55 method is as follows.
Q p = Q u . THE . Q. F P (Equation 26.1)
Where: Q p = peak flow (m 3 / s) Q u = peak discharge unit
(m 3 / s / cm / km 2)

A = area of ​the basin (km 2)


Ie Q = runoff or excess runoff of rain showers of 24 (cm) F p = dimensionless factor adjustment due to
puddles provided by Table (26.1).

puddles or swamps

(*) If the percentage of rainwater retained in puddles and swamps is greater than 5%, special
considerations must be taken to find the excess rain (Chin, 2000).

The peak discharge unit Q u It is given by Equation (26.2) versus concentration of tc time in hours.

log (Q u) = W 0 + W 1 . TC C + log 2 . ( tc log) 2 - 2,366 (Equation 26.2)


Where: C 0 , W 1 and C 2 obtained from Table (26.2) concentration of tc = time (h),
wherein 0.1H ≤ tc ≤ 10 am

The United States was divided into four regions, where there are types of rain I, IA, II and
III. Unfortunately we do not have anything like that in Brazil.
According to Porto, in 1995 the kind of rain São Paulo that is closest to the United States is the type II. In Chapter 7
of this book we find the fractions of accumulated rainfall Type I, Type IA, Type II and Type III.

Remembering the method of calculating the surplus rain by CN curve number, Ia is the initial abstraction in
millimeters, representing all losses before they start the runoff.

Tip: For the State of São Paulo use the rain Type II for SCS-TR-55

26-4
Management Course rainwater Chapter 26- Method
TR-55 for various basins
Engineer Plinio Tomaz July 25, 2008 pliniotomaz@uol.com.br

The value of Ia = 0.2 S wherein S is the maximum potential retention in millimeters after starting runoff. The
value of S is depending on curve number CN.
25400
S = ------------- - 254
CN
The amount of runoff or rain or excess runoff Q is:
(P 0.2S) 2
Q = -------------------------- valid when P> 0.2 S
(P + 0.8s)

The P value for the case of SCS TR-55 method is for rain 24 hours. Table (26.2) to values ​Ia / P <0.10 is to
be used the value Ia / P = 0.10 and values ​Ia / P <0.50 should be used Ia / P = 0.50. The TR-55.1986 said
values ​Ia / P smaller than
0.10 and greater than 0.50 have lack of precision in peak flow will be obtained. The TR-55.1986 also advises that for
application of the method the value of NC must be greater than 40 and the bowl should be homogeneous, that is, the
use of soil and the cover is uniformly distributed in the basin. Chin, 2000 suggests that variations in the CN ratio in
the basin should be ± 5% (five percent).

The TR-55 recommends that is applied when the estimated peak graphical method, the flow rate must be
calculated before and after development using the same procedures to estimate the concentration time tc.

The TR-55 suggests another method if one wants the hydrograph.

Example 26.1
Be a bowl with 2,22km 2 with 0.2% puddles and the estimated turn number CN = 87. The concentration time
is 15min = 0.25h and the 24 hours of rain is the Type II and precipitation for 25yrs payback period as Martinez and
Magni, 1999 in São Paulo, is of 123mm.

Solution
To CN = 87> 40 Storage S is:
25400
S = ------------- - 254
CN
S = (25,400 / 87) - 254 = 37,95mm Since the
value R = 123mm have:

(P 0.2S) 2
Q = --------------------------
(P + 0.8s)

(123- 0.2. 37.95) 2


Q = ---------------------------------- = 86,85mm = 8,69cm
(123 + 0.9. 37.95)

Therefore, the excess rain is 8,69cm. As Ia =


0.2. S = 37.95 x 0.2 = 7,59mm

Ia / P = 7,59mm / 123mm = 0.06 <0.1 (we greater inaccuracies in estimated)

26-5
Management Course rainwater Chapter 26- Method
TR-55 for various basins
Engineer Plinio Tomaz July 25, 2008 pliniotomaz@uol.com.br

As Ia / P <0.1 adopted Ia / P = 0.1 and so the rain to have chosen Type II C 0 = 2.55323 C 1 = - 0.61512
C 2 = - 0.16403

tc = 0.25h> 0.1H (method of applying hypothesis) Substituting

the values ​in Equation (26.2) we have:


log (Q u) = W 0 + W 1 . TC C + log 2 . ( tc log) 2 - 2.366 log (Q u) = 2.55323 to 0.61512 . -0.16403 0.25
log. (log 0.25) 2 - 2.366 log (Q u) = .4981

and hence Q u = 3.1477 (m 3 / s / cm / km 2 )


As admit 0,2% water puddles, Table (26.1) obtain F p = 0.97 From Equation (26.1)
TR-55, we have: Q p = Q u . THE . Q. F P

Q p = 3.1477. 2.22. 8.69. = 0.97 58,9m 3 / s


Therefore, the peak flow estimation according TR-55 is the graphical method 58,9m 3 / S Rt = 25yrs.

26-6
Management Course rainwater Chapter 26- Method

Example 26.2
Be a bowl with 9,95km 2 with 0.2% puddles and the estimated turn number CN = 75. The time of concentration is
2,53h and rain is 24 Type II and precipitation for the 100 year return period is of 162,05mm

The mean slope was obtained in proportion to the lengths of the passages from the first quota amount to the
last downstream dimension.
For the concentration time calculation is used SCS Lag-1975 formula, because the area of ​the basin 9,95km 2.

tc = 0.0136. L 0.8 . ( 1000 / CN - 9) 0.7 . S - 0.5

L = 5050m; average slope S = 0.05248 m / m; 152,04min = tc = 2,53h

For CN = 75> 40 S storage is: 25400 S = ----------

- 254 = 84,67mm
CN
As the value P = 162,05mm
(P - 0.2 S) 2
Q= -------------------------- = 91,64mm = 9,164cm
(P + 0,9.S)

Therefore, the excess rain is 9,164cm As


Ia = 0.2. S = 0.2. 84,67mm 16,93mm = Ia / P =
16,93mm / 162,05mm = 0.10 For Type II with the rain Ia / P = 0.1,
according to Table (26.2)
W o = 2.55323 C = 1 - 0.61512 C 2 = - 0.16403 log (Q u) = W 0 + W 1 . TC C +
log 2 . ( tc log) 2 - 2,366

log (Q u) = 2.55323 to 0.61512 . log (2.53) -0.16403. (Log 2.53) 2 - 2.366 log (Q u) = - 0.0874 Q u = 0.81777
m 3 / s / cm / km 2

Q p = Q u. THE . Fp Q Q. p = 0.81777 m 3 / s / cm / km 2. 9,95km 2 . 9,16cm. = 0.97 72,32m 3 / s

Considering the 3m base flow 3 / s will as design peak flow equals


72,32m 3 / s + 3m 3 / s = 75,32m 3 / s.

26.3 TR-55 method to SCS holding tank


McCuen 1998 p. 448 shows Equation (26.3) which replaces the graph shown by TR
55.

Reservoir Volume
--------------------------------- - C = 0 + W 1 . α + W 2 . α 2 + W 3. α 3 (Equation 26.3)
volume runoff

Being:
Piscinão reservoir volume = volume (m 3);
volume runoff = Volume of excess rain (m 3). It is the height of the rain multiplied by the area of ​the basin in compatible
units;

α = Q pre-development / Q post-dessenvolvimento

Where: Q = post-dessenvolvimento peak flow (m 3 / s) after the development calculated by TR-55; Q predevelopment = peak
flow (m 3 / s) before development calculated by TR-55. W 0 W 1, W 2 and C 3 = regression coefficients of Table
(26.4)

Source: McCuen, 1998 p. 449

The TR-55 recommends that the peak of the estimates should be calculated using the TR-55 and the time
calculation procedure adopted for the concentration of pre-development and post-development should be the same.

The TR-55 warns that the estimates errors are of the order of 25% (twenty five percent). In general, the SCS
method super-sizes the holding tank (Chapter 6-3 June
1986 Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds - TR-55).

Example 26.3- TR-55 Application to the holding tank.


It is the same of that in Example piscinão (26.1) with Rt = 25yrs.
Q pre = 13 m 3 / s (given tax in issue)
Q post = 58,9m 3 / s (measured by TR-55)
α = 13 / 58.9 = 0.22
Using equation (26.3) and the rain being chosen according to Table II Type (26.3) we will have the values ​of C 0 W 1, W 2 and
C 3.

Como no exercício anterior calculamos a chuva excedente do piscinão do Pacaembu obtivemos Q = 8,69cm.

Portanto o volume de runoff deverá ser obtido pela altura de chuva de 8,69cm multiplicado pela área da bacia de
2,22km 2.
Volume de runoff = (8,69cm/100) x 222ha x 10.000m 2 = 192.918m 3
Volume do reservatório = 0,44 x 192.918 = 84.884m 3
Portanto, usando o método de TR-55 achamos que o volume estimado do piscinão é de
84.884m 3.

55 TR-1986 method has a simple method of calculating several basins. For this it uses tabulated
hydrograph. If we transcribe only one that interests us, namely, that resulting from the rain type II that can be used in
Brazil.
Just to valley 24h lasting rains.
In the TR-55 for rain Tables Type II are at the end of the chapter. It should be

noted that:
The) concentration time t w ≤ 2h;
B) transit time or time travel Tt ≤ 3h;
w) individual drainage areas differ in the smaller areas than a factor 5. When overcome the above

hypothesis, we have to use the SCS software program called TR-20 which is free.

Another observation to be made is:


The) tc always rounding down. so t c = 1.6H must be used at the table part of t c = 1,50h;

B) The value of transit time Tt should always be rounded up.


w) The value of Ia / P must be rounded down. Thus Ia / P = 0.15 should be used
Ia / P = 0.10.

Example 26.6
Example adapt TR-55. This example is also in the book Akan, 1993.
This is to calculate the peak flow for before the development to a bowl with seven sub-basins for the return
period of 25yrs, rain 24 Type II.
Let's use rainfall data of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo that to rain 24 and Tr = 25yrs the value of P =
123mm.
The scheme of sub-basins is shown in Figure (26.3).

The values ​of Table (26.10) are similar to the table (26.9) with the difference that the change made to the m
units 3 / s / km 2/ cm. We use this for the conversion factor 0.0043.
Thus the value in column 7 of Table (26.9) was multiplied by 0.0043 yielding 0.08 in column 6 of Table
(26.10).

Table (26.11) are the column multiplication calculations 5 for each value of the column of Table 6-112 (26.10).

Column 6 km x 3.06 cm 2 = 0.0258 x 0.08 m 3 / if so forth.


Column 6 to 12 have their sum in the last line of Table (26.10). Thus the sum of column 6 is 5,63m 3 / s.

By making the sum of the columns 7 and 12 we obtain values ​8,49m 3 / s, 11,26m 3 / s, etc. The maximum value will be 14,11m 3 / s which
will be the maximum flow of the sub-basins 7 and that will give the
14,3h. thus obtain the maximum flow rate as well as a portion of Figure hydrogram (26.4).

Calculations in English units


Perhaps the best solution is to make the calculations in English units and then convert cfs to m3 / s.
Because of this it is that the present Example (26.7) all made in English units to be no conversion units problems.

Example 26.7-
Let's take an example that is in Chapter 6, 2005 Waterware Consultants, Centterville, OH, USA. Calculate the hydrograph
each subbacia, with an acre with 120 subbacia The subbacia and B as shown in Figure 90 acres (26.6).

The NC values ​are respectively 75 and 68.

Providing Data Table 26.12-

For subbacia The


Sa = 1000 / CIn -10 -10 = 1000/75 = 3.33 inches = Ia = 0,2Sa 0,2x3,33 = Ra = 0.67 inches (P24 -0,2x Sa) 2 / ( P24

Sa + 0.80 x) = (5.3 to 0.67) 2/ ( 0,8x3,33 + 5.3) = 2,69inches Q (t) = Q TR55 x 0,19mi 2 R x = Q x 0.19 x 2.69 = 0.5111 For

Q x B subbacia

Sb = 1000 / CNB -10 -10 = 1000/68 = 4.71 inches = Ib = 0,2Sa


0,2x4,71 = 0.94 inches

Rb = (P24 -0,2x Sb) 2 / ( P24 + 0.80 Sb x) = (5.3 to 0.94) 2/ ( 0,8x4,71 + 5.3) = 2,10inches Q (t) = Q TR55 x 0,134in 2 R
x = Q x 0.14 x 2.10 = 0.294 x Q
Q (t) = Q TR55 x x R
Referring to Table II and tc = 0,50h Travel time = 0,50h

We think the value 12h to 20 are found in Table for Type II


Q (t) = Q TR55 0,19mi2 x R x = Q x 0.19 x 2.69 x 0.5111 = QQ (t) = Q TR55 0,19mi2 x R x = Q
