1255. HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF STORM SEWERS

CHAPTER 5

The hydraulic design of a sewer system may have to take into account theeffect of backwater (the limiting effect on flows that a downstream sewerhas on upstream sewers), surcharging, inlet capacity and all energy lossesin the system. Whether each, or all, of these factors have to be considereddepends on the complexity of the sewer system and the objectives of theanalysis (i.e., is the sizing of the system preliminary or final?). Further-more, the degree of analysis will also depend on the potential impact shouldthe sewer system capacity be exceeded. For example, would surchargingresult in damages to private property due to the foundation drains beingconnected to the system or is the depth of flooding on a roadway importantbecause emergency vehicles depend on safe access along the street. Bydefining the above factors the user may then select the level of analysiswhich is required.

This section will outline two methods using hand calculations. Both meth-ods assume that all flows enter the sewer system, i.e., that the inlet capac-ity of the system is not a limiting factor. In addition, a listing of variouscomputer models which may be used in the analysis or design of sewersystems is provided.

Flow charts and nomographs such as those presented in Chapter 4 pro-vide quick answers for the friction head losses in a given run of straightconduit between structures (manholes, junctions). These design aids donot consider the additional head losses associated with other structures andappurtenances common in sewer systems.

In most instances, when designing with common friction flow formulaesuch as the Manning equation, the hydraulic grade is assumed to be equalto the pipe slope at an elevation equal to the crown of the pipe. Considera-tion must therefore also be given to the changes in hydraulic grade line dueto pressure changes, elevation changes, manholes and junctions. The de-sign should then not only be based on the pipe slope, but on the hydraulicgrade line.

A comprehensive storm sewer design must therefore proceed on the ba-sis of one run of conduit or channel at a time, working methodically throughthe system. Only in this way can the free flow conditions be known and thehydraulic grade controlled, thus assuring performance of the system.

Making such an analysis requires backwater calculations for each run ofconduit. This is a detailed process which is demonstrated on the followingpages. However, it is recognized that a reasonable, conservative “estimate”or “shortcut” will sometimes be required. This can be done and is alsodemonstrated on pages 134 through 138.

When using the backwater curve approach the designer should first es-tablish the type of flow (sub-critical or supercritical) in order to determinethe direction his calculations are to proceed.— Super critical flow - designer works downstream with flow.— Sub-critical flow - designer works against the flow.— Hydraulic jump may form if there is super and sub-critical flow in the

same sewer.

5.2) where the hydraulic grade is set at the crown of the outlet pipe. Hydro-logical computations have been made and preliminary design for the ini-tial pipe sizing has been completed.

In order to demonstrate the significance of form losses in sewer design,a backwater calculation will be performed in this example with helical cor-rugated steel pipe.

Solution1) Draw a plan and surface profile of trunk storm sewer.2) Design discharges, Q are known; Areas, A are known; Diameters of

pipe, D have been calculated in preliminary design.3) Calculate the first section of sewer line. Note: Normal depth is greater

than critical depth, yn > y

c; therefore, calculations to begin at outfall

working upstream. At “point of control” set design conditions on pro-file and calculations sheet:

Station 0 + 00 (outfall)Design discharge Q = 7.0 m3/s (9)Invert of pipe = 28.2 m (2)Diameter D = l800 mm (3)Hydraulic grade elevation H.G. = 30 m (4)Area of pipe A = 2.54 m2 (6)Velocity = V = 2.8 m/s (8)

Note: (1) Numbers in parentheses refer to the columns on Table 5.2.

Compute:a) ‘K’ value (7): K = (2g) n2 (Derived from Manning-Chezy Formula)

b) ‘Sf’ value (12): S

f = K R4/3

The friction slope (Sf) may also be estimated from Table 5.1 for a given

diameter of pipe and with a known ‘n’ value for the expected flow Q.S

f (12) is a “point slope” at each station set forth by the designer. There-

fore, the friction slope (Avg. Sf) (13) for each reach of pipe L (14), is the

average of the two point slopes Sf being considered.

c) Velocity Head (l0): Hv =

d) Energy grade point, E. G. (11) is equal to H. G. (4) plus the velocityhead (10).

e) Friction loss (15): Multiply Avg. Sf (13) by length of sewer section, L

(14) = Hf (15).

f) Calculate energy losses: Hb, H

j, H

m, H

t, using formulae in text.

g) Compute new H. G. (4) by adding all energy loss columns, (15) thru(19) to previous H. G.Note: If sewer system is designed under pressure (surcharging) thenenergy losses must be added (or subtracted, depending on whether youare working upstream or downstream) to the energy grade line, E. G.

h) Set new E. G. (20) equal to E. G. (11)

In this example, the head losses at junctions and transition could also havebeen accommodated by either increasing the pipe diameter or increasingthe slope of the pipe.

This backwater example was designed under full flow conditions butcould also have been designed under pressure; allowing surcharging in themanholes, which would have reduced the pipe sizes. Storm sewer systems,in many cases, can be designed under pressure to surcharge to a tolerablelevel.

METHODS OF DETERMINING EQUIVALENT HYDRAULICALTERNATIVESA method has been developed to aid the designer in quickly determiningequivalent pipe sizes for alternative material, rather than computing thebackwater profiles for each material.

The derivation shown below allows the designer to assign representativevalues for loss coefficients in the junctions and length of average reachbetween the junctions, and develop a relationship for pipes of differentroughness coefficients. In this manner the designer need only perform adetailed hydraulic analysis for one material, and then relatively quicklydetermine conduit sizes required for alternative materials. The relation-ships for hydraulic equivalent alternatives in storm sewer design may bederived from the friction loss equation.

The total head loss in a sewer system is comprised of junction losses andfriction losses:

Thus, for comparison of concrete and steel:

The flow Q for each conduit will be the same, therefore the relationshipsimplifies to:

Average values for conduit length between manholes (L), and junctionloss coefficient (K

j), must next be selected. Representative values may be

derived for the hydraulic calculations that will have already been performedfor one of the materials.

In this example the average conduit length is 90 metres with an averagejunction loss coefficient of 1.0. With the selected L, n and K

j values the

equations are determined for a series of pipe diameters. The results areshown in Table 5.3. These figures are then plotted on semi-log paper, fromwhich hydraulically equivalent materials may be easily be selected. (Fig-ures 5.3 and 5.4)

DESIGN OF STORM DRAINAGE FACILITIES

System LayoutThe storm drainage system layout should be made in accordance with theurban drainage objectives, following the natural topography as closely aspossible. Existing natural drainage paths and watercourses such as streamsand creeks should be incorporated into the storm drainage system. Thusthe storm design should be undertaken prior to finalization of the streetlayout in order to effectively incorporate the major-minor drainage con-cepts.

Topographic maps, aerial photographs, and drawings of existing serv-ices are required before a thorough storm drainage design may be under-taken.

Existing outfalls within the proposed development and adjacent landsfor both the minor and major system should be located. Allowances shouldbe made for external lands draining through the proposed development bothfor present conditions and future developments.

The design flows used in sizing the facilities that will comprise the drain-age network are based on a number of assumptions. Flows that will occurunder actual conditions will thus be different from those estimated at thedesign stage; “the designer must not be tempted by the inherent limitationsof the basic flow data to become sloppy in the hydraulic design.”(1) Alsothe designer should not limit his investigation to system performance un-der the design storm conditions, but should assure that in cases where sewercapacities are exceeded such incidents will not create excessive damage.

This requirement can only be practically achieved if the designer real-izes that a dual drainage system exists, comprised of the minor system andthe major system. Utilizing both systems, the pipe system may be providedfor smaller, more frequent rainfall events, and an overland system for ex-treme rainfall events.

In the layout of an effective storm drainage system, the most importantfactor is to assure that a drainage path both for the minor and major sys-tems be provided to avoid flooding and ponding in undesirable locations.

Minor SystemThe minor system consists chiefly of the storm sewer comprised of inlets,conduits, manholes and other appurtenances designed to collect and con-vey into a satisfactory system outfall, storm runoff for frequently occur-ring storms (2 to 5 year design).

Storm sewers are usually located in rights-of-way such as roadways andeasements for ease of access during repair or maintenance operations.

Major SystemThe major drainage system will come into operation when the minor sys-tem’s capacity is exceeded or when inlet capacities significantly controldischarge to the minor system. Thus, in developments where the majorsystem has been planned, the streets will act as open channels draining theexcess storm water. The depth of flow on the streets should be kept withinreasonable limits for reasons of safety and convenience. Considerationshould be given to the area of flooding and its impact on various streetclassifications and to public and private property.

Typical design considerations are given in Table 5.4.

*In addition to the above, residential buildings, public, commercial and industrial buildingsshould not be inundated at the ground line for the 100 year storm, unless buildings areflood-proofed.

To prevent the flooding of basement garages, driveways will have tomeet or exceed the elevations corresponding to the maximum flow depthat the street.

The flow capacity of the streets may be calculated from the Manningequation, or Figure 5.5 may be used to estimate street flows.

When designing the major system it should be done in consideration ofthe minor system, with the sum of their capacities being the total system’scapacity. The minor system should be first designed to handle a selectedhigh frequency storm, (i.e., 2-year) next the major system is designated fora low frequency of flood storm, (i.e., 100-year). If the roadway cannothandle the excess flow, the minor system should be enlarged accordingly.

HYDRAULIC DESIGN EXAMPLE OF MINOR-MAJOR SYSTEM

Description of SiteThe site for this design example is shown on Figure 5.6.

The site is about 15 hectares in size consisting of single family and semidetached housing as well as a site for a public school. The site slopes gen-erally from west to east, where it is bounded by a major open water course.To accommodate the principles of the “minor-major’’ storm drainage sys-tems, the streets have been planned to conform as much as possible to thenatural contours of the lands. Where sags in roadways between intersec-tions could not be avoided, overflow easements or walkways have beenprovided to permit unobstructed surface runoff during major storms, asshown on Figure 5.7.

Selected Design Criteria

Minor SystemBased on a reasonable level of convenience to the public, a two-year de-sign curve is considered adequate as a design basis for the minor systemwithin this development.

equate. The values for the two year rainfall intensity curve obtained fromlocal records are shown in Table 5.5.

The following steps should be followed in the hydraulic design of theminor system:1. A drainage area map should be prepared indicating the drainage limits

for the site, external tributary areas, location of imported minor systemand carryover flows, proposed minor-major system layout and directionof surface flow.

2. The drainage area should be divided into sub-areas tributary to the pro-posed storm sewer inlets. In this case the inlet shall be located at theupstream end of each pipe segment.

3. The coverage of each sub-area should be calculated.4. The appropriate runoff coefficient should be developed for each sub-

area. The example has been simplified in that impervious areas discharg-ing to grass areas have been given a runoff coefficient equal to the grassedarea runoff coefficient. The runoff coefficient in this example has beendetermined based on 0.20 for grassed areas and areas discharging to grasssuch as roof, patios and sidewalks) and 0.95 for impervious surfaces(streets and driveways), which for this site results in an average runoffcoefficient of 0.35 for all the sub-areas.

5. The required capacity of each inlet should be calculated using the ra-tional method, with the initial time of concentration and the corres-ponding intensity. In this example,T

c = 10 minutes.

i = 72 mm/hr (2-year storm) (Table 5.5).Inlets will be located at the upstream manhole for each length of con-duit.

6. Commencing at the upstream end of the system, the discharge to becarried by each successive segment in a downstream direction is calcu-lated. The initial time of concentration is 10 minutes at the most up-stream inlet. Added to this value is the required travel time in the con-duit to the next inlet. The resulting time of concentration is then used todetermine a new intensity at that point.

Also, a weighted area x C value must be determined at each succes-sive inlet.

At a confluence of two or more conduits, the longest time of con-centration is selected and the procedure continues downstream. The abovecomputations are summarized in Table 5.6.

7. With computed discharges at the upstream end of each pipe segment, atentative pipe size to accommodate friction losses only is selected usingthe friction flow charts in Chapter 4. In this design example, a helical68mm x 13mm CSP with variable roughness coefficient (Table 4.9) hasbeen selected as the conduit material. The corresponding velocities forthe expected flow are determined to calculate the pipe flow time. Thistime added to the upstream time of concentration results in the new timeof concentration for the downstream segment as described in Step 6.Design velocities in storm sewers should be a minimum of 1.0 m/s whenflowing half full to full to attain self cleaning velocities and to preventdeposition, to a maximum of 4.5 m/s to avoid erosive damage to theconduit.

Culvert design technology and open-channel flow design are increasingly applied tourban storm water management. Triple structural plate pipe-arches enclose streamunder roadway, and industrial land development.

Note: If upon completion of the hydraulic design (and backwater cal-culations), the times of concentrations have varied enough to alter thedischarges, new flow values should be determined. In most cases theslight variance in the T

c will not significantly affect the peak flows.

8. As the preliminary design proceeds downstream, some account must bemade for the manhole and junction losses. Certain rules of thumb maybe used before the detailed hydraulic analysis. In this design examplethe following manhole drops were assumed:

15 mm for straight runs45 mm for 45ϒ junctions75 mm for 45ϒ to 90ϒ junctionsAlso crowns of incoming and outgoing pipes at manholes were kept

equal where the increase in downstream diameter met or exceeded theabove manhole drops.

The preliminary minor system design is shown in Table 5.6 with thetentative pipe sizes and manhole drops.

9. The hydraulic analysis should next be performed on the proposed minorsystem to ensure that it operates as expected. The hydraulic grade is setat the crown of the outlet conduit, with hydraulic calculations proceed-ing upstream. The energy loss equations shall be used following the sameprocedure as in the Hydraulic section. The detailed hydraulic calcula-tions are computed for each station, on pages 153 and 154, with theresults summarized in Table 5.7. In this example the initial pipe sizesdid not change, but rather manhole drops were adjusted to account forthe junction losses. If junction losses would have resulted in the eleva-tion of the pipe crown exceeding the minimum cover criterion, then the

Page 25: 124 MODERN SEWER DESIGN - CSPI - Volume · PDF fileThese design aids do ... 126 MODERN SEWER DESIGN Q A 5.2) ... Hydro-logical computations have been made and preliminary design for

148 MODERN SEWER DESIGN

hydraulic grade line may have been lowered by increasing the pipesize. The hydraulic grade line may be permitted to exceed the crownwhere some surcharging in the storm system can be tolerated.

10. The designer may now estimate the required pipe sizes for a minorsystem for an alternative conduit material or roughness coefficient.There is no need to perform a detailed hydraulic analysis for the alter-native conduit, but rather use the method of “Equivalent Alternatives”as described earlier in this chapter. In this example the average lengthof conduit is estimated to be 90m with an average manhole junctionloss coefficient of 1.0. The alternative conduit will have constant n =.012. Therefore the alternative material may be determined. The re-sults are summarized in Table 5.8.

1555. HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF STORM SEWERS

Major SystemVarious manual methods can be used to estimate the major system flows.As a preliminary estimate, designers often apply the Rational formula, us-ing the rainfall intensity for a 100 year storm and a C factor 60 percent to85 percent higher than what would be used for a 2-year or 5-year storm.The increase in value is basically to allow for a change in the antecedentmoisture condition. Except in special circumstances, a C factor above 0.85need not be used.

In this design example the C factor of 0.35 used for the design of theminor system will be increased to 0.60, an increase of about 70 percent.The results are shown in Table 5.9.

In cases where this method results in flows in excess of the acceptableroadway capacity, a more detailed method should be applied, such as theSCS Graphical Method or a suitable hydrological computer model.

If properly laid out the major system can tolerate the variability in flowsestimated by the various methods. A minor increase in the depth of surfaceflow will greatly increase the capacity of the major system, without neces-sarily causing serious flooding. The designer must also consider the re-maining overland flow accumulated at the downstream end of the develop-ment; adequate consideration must be given for its conveyance to the re-ceiving water body. This may involve increasing the minor system andinlet capacities or providing adequate drainage swales.

1575. HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF STORM SEWERS

Foundation DrainsTo establish the groundwater level, piezometer measurements over a 12month period were taken, indicating the groundwater table would be safelybelow the footing elevations for the proposed buildings, minimizing theamount of inflow that can be expected into the foundation drains.

The municipal requirements include detailed lot grading control, thusfurther reducing the possibility of surface water entering the foundationdrains. Accordingly a flow value of 7.65 x 10-5 m3/s per basement is used.See the discussion on Foundation Drains in Chapter 2 of this text. For de-tailed calculations see Table 5.10.

Computer ModelsThere is a wide range of computer models now available for analyzingsewer networks. The complexity of the models varies from straightforwardmodels which use the rational method to estimate the peak flow to compre-hensive models which are based on the continuity and momentum equa-tions and are capable of modeling surcharge, backwater, orifices, weirsand other sewer components.

Table 5.11 lists several of these models and their capabilities.
