US. Less than 1% on your asphalt and even the most experienced contractor has trouble preventing "bird baths." In terms of minimum slopes; yes, scour velocity should be maintained. Beyond that, pipe material also makes a difference. We used 1% minimum for CMP and 0.5% minimum for RCP and HDPE.
Thanks for your suggestions. Actually, the plan is to put a 6" plastic pipe running parallel to the sheet piling and located 5.5' horizontally from the front face of the sheet pile. The invert of the proposed pipe will be 2' below grade. The wall was designed by others and our firm is providing construction inspection and technical assistance.
The contractor on several of my projects would like a typical detail for a situation where a drainage pipe exits the crawlspace of a new residence through the footing. These projects are typically 2-3 story light framed structures. The footings are typically 8" thick by 16" wide with bottom at frost line at 18" below grade, and 8" concrete stem ...
The PVC pipe has some insulation value. So a smart engineer could calculate the pipe outside surface temperature at the location in question. If condensate starts out with 53.6°F, that pipe outside temperature could be close to 60°F. But again, the owner gave you directions to apply insulation.
It takes 0.03 minutes (1.8sec) to drain a tank with a radius of 0.4m filled with 1m of water. That volume in the tank is 0.5 m3. So if you keep the tank at 1m of water by filling from your pipe, you will be emptying about 1m3 for every 3.6 sec. 2m3 in 7.2 seconds, 3m3 in 9 seconds. etc.
LittleInch (Petroleum) 28 Oct 20 11:27. Either make your footing twice as wide or lay a concrete slab approx 3 feet wide over the top of the drain above where the footing is going. If you wanted to be really cautious dig out directly over the pipe area, backfill with something compressible, then slab over that like a subterrranean bridge.
For example, a 4" dia pipe at 1/4 inch slope can handle 216 fixture units. The fixture unit is an arbitrary, comparative value assigned to a specific plumbing fixture, device, or piece of equipment. Fixture Unit values represent the probable flow that fixture will discharge into a drainage system, compared to other fixtures.
This caused leaks when the pipe was refilled. My initial thought was that the ARVs were not open when they draining occurred, thus causing the vacuum pressure to exceed the max allowable of the gaskets (5 PSI). Static pressure (difference in elevation) the vacuum pressure equates to (6.9 PSI). I was looking for any reference material (quick and ...
If horizontally, a 2" pipe will flow 11.7 gpm at 50% fill ratio and a minimum slope of 0.0291 ft/ft.
The standards say the slope must be enough to provide 3 fps for proper scour at just full pipe using the design storm. Using manning's equation provides me with a minimum slope; however, I am concerned that the fact we rarely see a design storm intensity and that the pipe will rarely see a full pipe flow or half full pipe flow to provide proper ...
