a) Settling zone
From Table 39.5, the required settling zone V1 = 831.6227 m³ (half the total volume)
the settling zone depth, y1 = 0.6 m
= 66.002
L1, say = 67 m
For a side slope Z = 2(H):1(V), the dimensions at the top of the sediment storage zone are,
W2 = W1- (2 x d1/2 x Z)
= 19.8 m
L2 = L1- (2 x d1/2 x Z)
= 65.8 m
The required depth for the sedoment storage zone, which must be at least 0.3 m,
can be calculated from the following relationship
So y2 = 0.8 m
WTWL = W1 + 2 x Z x y1/2
= 22.2 m
say = 22 m
LTWL = L1 + 2 x Z x y1/2
= 68.2 m
say = 68 m
LB = L1 - 2 x Z x (y1/2+y2)
= 62.6 m
say = 63 m
The pipe is provided with sufficient small orifice openings to ensure the basin
will completely drain within 24 hours of filling
Aav = 1283.5 m²
Atotal= 0.013 m²
= 6.733963
-assume riser pipe flow is orifice flow through the top of pipe only
-riser pipe head is 300mm
Q10 = C x 10I10 x A
360
= 1.61 m³/s
From Equation 20.2 (MESMA) , assuming orifice discharge coefficient, Co= 0.60
Qriser = CoAo√2gHo
= 0.41 m³/s
Therefore allowing for the riser pipe flow the required spillway capacity is:
B = 5.00 m
Hp = 0.50 m
Csp = 1.58
Q spillway = 2.79 m³/s OK!
= y1 + y2 + 0.3 + Hp
= 2.20 m
Designing an Below-Ground Storage System
From table 14.3 (Vol.5-MASMA), minimum time of concentration for roof area is;
2
I30 = 98.2 mm/hr
2
I60 = 63.4 mm/hr
2
P30 = 49.1 mm
2
P60 = 63.4 mm
2
P5 = 19.4 mm
Therefore
I5 = 116.2 mm/hr
