Calculation Rainfall Intensity Calculation For Culvert Catchment (50 Years ARI)

The document outlines the rainfall intensity calculation for a culvert catchment with a 50-year ARI, detailing parameters such as time of concentration and rainfall intensity. It includes a design example for a pipe culvert, specifying flow rates, dimensions, and control checks for both inlet and outlet conditions. The calculations confirm that inlet control governs the design, ensuring adequate flow management through the culvert system.

CALCULATION OUTPUT

Rainfall Intensity Calculation for Culvert Catchment (50 Years ARI)

For Culvert C5
CHAINAGE 276+550

Design Storm, ARI = 50 years


Catchment Area, A = 1.85 hectares

Time of Concentration, tc
Conversion Factor, F = 92.5
Overland Sheet Flow Path
Length, L = 0.152 km
Slope of stream flowpath, S = 0.076 m/km
tc = F.L = 22.15 mins tc = 22.15 mins
1/10 1/5
A S

Rainfall Intensity, I
From Table 13.A1, a = 7.1319
b = -0.6322
c = 0.0046
d = -0.0005
ln ARIItc = a + b (ln t) + c (ln t)2 + d (ln t)3 = 181.75 mm/hr I= 181.75 mm/hr

Culvert Design Example Calculation


Pipe Culvert
Culvert No. C5 Chainage : 276+550
Reference Calculation
Step 1 : Data

3
Flow, Q = 0.420 m /s ,C=0.45
Culvert length, L = 63 m

Natural waterway invert level:


Inlet = 6.5 m
Outlet = 6.2 m

Acceptable upstream flood level = 12.8 m


Proposed pavement level = 13.3 m
Minimum freeboard = 0.3 m
Estimated downstream tailwater level = 6.5 m

Maximum headwater height, HWmax , is the lesser of:


i) 13.29 ― 0.3 ― 6.5 = 6.49 m
ii) 12.79 ― 6.5 = 6.29 m

Therefore maximum headwater height, HWmax = 6.29 m

Step 2 : Assume inlet control


Estimate the required waterway flow area by assuming flow
= 2 m/s
velocity, V
2
Estimated flow area, A = Q/V = = 0.21 m

Trial of pipe to be used,


Type = RCP
Diameter, D = 1.5 m
Inlet type = 1
Numbers of culvert, N = 1

New Q based on pipe configuration,Q/N = 0.42 m3/s

3
From Chart 18.A2 with Q/N = 0.42 m /s
Use design chart 18.A2
HWi/D = 0.85 m
Hwi = 1.275 m < HWmax , acceptable
Step 3 : Check Outlet Control

Tail water, TW = 0.3 m <D

3
From Chart 18.A7 with Q/N = 0.42 m /s and D = 1.5 m

Critical depth, hc = 0.82 m <D


Use design chart 18.A7 Then D = 1.5

(hc + D)/2 = 1.16 m > TW

h0 is the larger of TW or (hc +D)/2,


h0 = 1.16 m

Calculate HW0 for outlet control:


Using Ke = 0.5 Square edge headwall/wingwall
3
From chart 18.A9 with Q/N = 0.42 m /s and D = 1.5 m
Use design chart 18.A9
H= 0.22 m

Fall of culvert inlet, Ls = 0.3 m

HW0 = (hc + D)/2 + H - Ls


1.08 m

HWi (Inlet Control) = 1.275 m HWi greater than HWo


HW0 (Outlet Control) = 1.08 m

Therefore inlet control governs

Step 4 : Check for velocity

A = ΠD2/4 = 2
1.77 m
S = 0.00476 = 0.48%

From Colebrook-White's Chart for k = 0.6mm


Use design chart 18.A12
3
Qf = 6 m /s
Vf = 3.5 m/s

If the culvert does not flow full it is necessary to use part-full flow relationship
Use design chart 18.A5
plotted in Design Chart 18.A5

Q/Qf = 0.070 and from Design Chart 18.A5

3
V/Vf = 0.85 and V = 2.975 m /s OK!

y /D = 0.53 and y = 0.795 less than hc
