Design Equations
Manning equation: It has found wide application in sewer design than
Hazen=Williams equation because it applies both to sewers flowing full and those
flowing partially full—the latter being the condition most frequently encountered.
Three useful forms of Manning’s equation are:
𝟏 𝟐 /𝟑 𝟏 /𝟐 𝟐 𝟐
(𝑽 )(𝒏 )(𝟔 .𝟑𝟒𝟒𝟖 ) 𝟏 𝟐 /𝟑 𝟏 /𝟐
𝑽= 𝑹 𝑺 𝑺= 𝑸= 𝑹 𝑺 𝑨
𝒏 𝑫 𝟏 .𝟑𝟑𝟑 𝒏
Where;
𝑽 =𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 ,𝒎/ 𝒔

𝑽 𝒑= 𝑹𝒑𝟐 /𝟑 𝑺𝟏 /𝟐

In sanitary sewers, the flow is not constant; consequently, the depth of flow is
varying as mentioned above. In this case, it is difficult to find the hydraulic radius to
apply Manning’s equation. For partially full pipe, the following relations are
applied:

Design Equations
As noted above, GLUMRB (2004) specifies that n=0.013 for the calculation of
minimum velocity. Designers typically use n=0.013 for PVC because, once the pipe is
in use, this n is more realistic.
For a pipe flowing full, the hydraulic radius is defined as
𝑅 =¿
