Storm Calculation

The document summarizes the design of a storm sewer from 8th St to 4th St using SI units. It includes tables with design parameters such as pipe length, slope, diameter, flow rate, and water depth. The document also describes the process for selecting pipe size and slope to ensure full flow at the design rate using Manning's equation. It derives an intensity-duration-frequency equation to calculate storm intensities for determining design flow rates.

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. 1: Enter information from the manhole layout map. Col. 2 & 3: Measure distance between manholes and area draining to the inlet . Col. 4 calculates the cumulative area draining to the section of pipe being designed. Col. 5: Enter the runoff coefficient value Col. 6: Enter the inlet time for the drainage area to the section of pipe being designed. Col. 7 calculates the time of concentration for the section of pipe being designed. Col. 8: enter the design storm intensity for specified return period and storm duration equal to the time of concentration. Col. 9 calculates the design stormwater flow using Q = 0.0028CiA Col. 10 calculates the pipe diameter to give V = Vmin with flow rate = Qdes, using Qdes = (Vmin)A = (Vmin)(pD2/4) ( Vmin - 1 m/s in the example )

Col. 11: Enter the next larger standard pipe diameter. Col. 12 calculates the pipe slope for Vfull = Vmin with the pipe diameter set at Dstd using the Manning equation: V = (1/n)(D/4)2/3(S1/2) (n = 0.013 in the example)

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. = Dstd and pipe slope = selected slope (pipe slope or surface slope) Col. 16 & 17 calculate the pipe flow time, using tpipe = 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, d, 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/(d + b), based on linear regression of d vs 1/i. The derived equation can then be used to calculate design storm intensity, i, for Col. 8.
