Design Calculation Of Diversion Channel Earth Drain

Reference: MASMA 2nd Edition:

1) Data
Johor Bahru falls under Region 5- Southern (Figure 5.A1)
So, use characteristic Region 5- Southern

Type of development: UNDERPASS

Location: SUNGAI PENDAS
Johor Bahru
Condition before development: Park Lawn
Area to be developed: 61400 m2

For catchment , the area is 6.140 hectares and the following assumptions are made for the
Sizing of earth drain:
1) There are two segment earth drains passing through over the catchment.
2) Soil types of catchments is bare sand and bare clay
3) The design storm is 5 years ARI

Design Flows for the longest earth drain in the catchments A

Area of catchment = 61400.00 m2
= 6.140 hectares(ha)

Overland flow = 20 m
Open drain flow = 400.566 m
Average surface slope = 2%

Determine tc
From Design Table 2.1 for bare soil surface,to = 5 minutes

Average velocity in the open drain is assessed in using Manning's equation.

Assume, V = 1.0 m/s
td = 100/1.0 = 100 s = 1.67 minutes

Time of concentration, tc = to+td = 6.67 = 10 minutes

The 5 years ARI rainfall intensity is derived from Equation 13.2, since t c is less than 30 minutes

9.4) Determine Peak Discharge

Q = ( C. i . A ) / 360 m3/s
Where,
Q = peak flow m3/s
C = runoff coefficient (table 2.5)
i = average rainfall intensity, mm/hr
A = drainage area, ha
