URBAN DRAINAGE DESIGN

DESCRIPTION:

This course provides a detailed introduction to urban roadway drainage design. Design guidance for solving basic problems encountered in urban roadway drainage design is provided. Topics to be discussed:

HYDROLOGY

• Rational Equations
• Soil Conservation Method
• Regression Equations
• Synthetic Hydrographs

HIGHWAY DRAINAGE

• Gutter Flow
• Roadway Inlet Interception
• Storm Drain Systems
• Energy and Hydraulic Grade Lines
• Storm Water Management

OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

1. Determine runoff (peak flows and volumes) from urban watersheds.
2. Apply basic hydraulic principles to urban drainage design.
3. Perform roadway drainage designs using various roadway inlets.
4. Size and/or analyze storm drain conveyance systems.
5. Establish the energy and hydraulic grade lines for storm drains.
6. Design and/or analyze detention basins.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This course is intended for engineers and technicians responsible for reviewing or designing urban drainage systems in Federal, State, or local highway agencies.

MATERIALS:

Participants should bring their own calculators and straight edges to the course.
