Tutorial — Drainage Pipe Design Question 1 A. Using BS5572 method, calculate the diameter and gradient of the drain pipe for a 5-storey office containing 8 WCs (9 litres), 8 basins, 2 sinks and 4 urinals on each floor. B. Given the velocity of flow is 1 m/s at half-full bore and Chezy constant is 55. Calculate the diameter and gradient of the drain pipe. Question 2 Calculate the diameter and gradient of a pipe required to carry the run-off from an asphalt-covered car park of 100m x 30m. Take the following factors in your calculation : Impermeability factor = 0.875 Full bore discharge Rainfall intensity = 150 mm/hr Velocity of flow = 1.5 m/s Chezy constant = 55 Juestion 3 Calculate the velocity of flow in a 100mm diameter foul-water drain flowing at a depth equal to 3/4 of the diameter when the gradient is 1 in 60. Chezy constant is 55.Tutorial — Drainage Pipe Design Solution to Question 1 (A) Discharge Units of wc 8x 5x 14 = 560 (assuming not close coupled cistern) Basin 8x5x3 =120 Sink 2x5x 13 =130 Total 10 Design flow =7.8 V/s Urinal 4x5x0.15 V/s =3 V/s Total design flow =10.8I/s Total D.U. = 1600 From Table 8, 150mm diameter pipe at gradient 9 mm/m can be used.
