Lec 4-Week 2 - (Design of Storm Sewer)

This document provides an overview of storm sewer design using the Rational Method. It defines key terms like runoff coefficient, rainfall intensity, inlet time, and time of concentration. It describes how to calculate stormwater flow using the Rational Method equation of Q=CIA. Finally, it presents three example problems demonstrating how to compute stormwater runoff rates and design storm sewer systems.

Storm Sewer

To design a storm sewer system, it is necessary


to determine the flow which each segment
must carry.

Main Source = Rainfall

Lecture # 04

,IEER, UET Lahore

Rational Method
Simplest method used for estimating the quantity of
flow
This procedure relates:
Storm flow to the rainfall intensity
Storm flow to the tributary (flowing area)
A co-efficient C which presents the combined effects
of surface storage, infiltration, and evaporation

Rational Method

Hence,

Where,
Q=Actual amount of rainfall that appears as
runoff (m3/hr)
A=Area drained (m2)
I=Intensity of rainfall (m3/m2/hr)
C=Co-efficient of runoff

Run-off coefficient C

C for an area is variant i.e. tends to increase as


the rainfall continues.
Determine by using following formula

the farthest point over the surface of the
ground to the sewer inlet.

Inlet Time
Case 1

-Sewer should be designed based on duration of rainfall


-Which should be equal or greater than the time of travel
of storm water from the farthest point to the sewer inlet

Inlet Time
CASE 2
Maximum runoff at M1 will be
developed when rainfall duration is equal
or greater then the inlet time.

So sewer line between M1 and M2


should be designed for that run off.
Maximum runoff at M2 will be
developed when rainfall duration is equal
or greater then inlet time ( up to M1) plus
time of runoff travel in sewer from M1 to
M2
Or
Inlet time of area B to M2
So sewer line between M2 and M3
should be designed for that runoff.

Time of Concentration
Defined as the time required for the maximum runoff rate to
develop or it is the time required for storm water to run from the
farthest point of the area to reach the point for which the
maximum runoff is to be estimated.

Time of Concentration
So storm water sewers must be designed taking
into consideration the time of concentration at
various manholes

Critical duration of rainfall


It is the duration of rainfall which will
produce maximum runoff and so it is equal
to the time of concentration

Steps for the design of storm sewer

1.Estimate the time of


concentration

2.Take this as a critical


duration of rain fall to
produce maximum
rain fall

3.Find out intensity of


rainfall for that
duration of rainfall

4.Use this I in CIA to


find out the Q

of area is 35%.Time of concentration is 30 minutes .The
rainfall intensity formula adopted is I=3330/(t+19).

Problem 2
Calculate the maximum storm water runoff at point A
and B of the area which is divided into two equal parts
of 4 hectors each .The intensity of rainfall is given by
I=719/(t+103),C=0.4 and inlet time for each part of
area is 10 minutes. Velocity of flow is equal to 1 m/s.
