CE 4313: CE CAD---Exam 3 Notes
These are some supporting notes and calculations for the exam 3.
These are now in a spreadsheet: OOo xls.
- Assume each storm sewer branch collects from 400' laterally.
- The central branch has two sags
- The further sag at 24+00 collects runoff from 39+00 - 17+00
- 2200'x400' = 20.2 acres
- average L ≈ 1500'
- average slope ≈ 30/1500 = 2% ⇒ v= 1.0 ft/s

- The nearer sag at 9+00 from 17+00 - 0+00
- 15.6 acres
- average L ≈ 800'
- average slope ≈ 10/800 = 1.25% ⇒ v=0.7

- The western branch also has two sags
- the further sag at 21+00 collects 24+00 - 18+00
- 5.5 acres
- average L ≈ 300'
- average slope ≈ 1% ⇒ v=0.6
→ Use 10
- the near sag at 5+00 collects 18+00 - 0+00
- 16.5 acres
- average L ≈ 1600'
- average slope ≈ 20/1600 = 1.25% ⇒ v=0.7

- The eastern branch has only one sag at 11+00
- collects 24+00 - 0+00
- 22.0 acres
- average L ≈ 1200'
- average slope ≈ 20/1200= 1.7% ⇒ v=0.8
