For calculation we take the following formula: 

mean annual rainfall in mm x area in m² x

runoff factor = collected rainwater in litres. In our example this means: 450 x 120 x 0.9 =

48 600 litres.

is expected to act on the surface of the backfill within a distance equal to one-half the wall height

behind the back face of the wall. MnDOT uses a modified form of AASHTO Article 3.11.6.4 to

compute the approaching vehicle load. A trapezoidal pressure distribution is assumed with the

maximum pressure pmax at the top of the box culvert and the minimum pressure pmin at the

bottom of the box culvert. The live load surcharge is only to be applied to one wall of the culvert. For

Dist. Ratnagiri Data required1. A map of the catchment area with gradient lines and contour lines,

the gradients and boundaries can be calculated. 2. Rainfall intensity in the catchment area. The

rainfall intensity of the area is found out from the local IDF -curves (intensity-durationfrequency

curve), if IDF-curve is not available, rainfall intensity of 100 mm/hr shall be considered (this value is

for tropical countries, with catchment areas smaller than 150 ha). Note: Here we are going to

consider rainfall intens
