B = Rainfall Intensity (mm/Hr) of the place
C = Runoff coefficient for roof surface (Concrete -0.8 to 0.95, Metal sheet -0.95)
D = Runoff in Cubic m / hr (D = A x B x C)
E = Total rain water coming from roof = D / No. of gutters
V = Velocity of water to be discharged by gutter drain (as per Manning’s formula)
V=

Where:
V= Velocity in meter per second
R= Hydraulic radius in M [For gutter R= (d x w)/ 2 x d +w), where d=effective depth of gutter &
w = width of gutter]
n = Manning Coefficient of Roughness
S= Slope of Hydraulic gradient
Q = d x w x V (discharge)
If Q> D, gutter size is correct. If Q<D then d and w of the gutter need to be resized.
Roof water accumulated in gutters shall be drained through Rain Water Pipes
C.5.26 Rain Water Pipes
Rain water pipes shall be provided in adequate numbers ensuring roof water drainage. The
Rain Water Pipes if visible on facades of important buildings shall be suitably concealed.
If feasible, the pipes shall be located at the back-side of the buildings, which, in cases of un-
important buildings (visually) may be kept exposed.
Suggested Rain Water Pipe sizing and numbers :

150 4850 2400 1600 1200 970 800
The pipes shall be located at suitable spacing considering slope of finished roof etc..
C.5.27 Parapet wall
Parapet walls or Handrails shall be provided on the edges of roof terraces, Balconies,
Verandahs etc.
Height of the Parapet walls shall not be less than 1000 mm except for small buildings with
such as Security Cabins, Weigh- Bridges etc. where height of Parapet walls may be not less
than 600 mm.
