Rainwater Pipe Design

Circular rainwater pipe, full flow, n=0.013. Intensity q = 1825·(1+0.774·logP)/(8+t)^0.724.

Flow time t = t1 + m·t2, where m·t2 = Σ(L/vs)/30 and ΣF accumulates down the segment chain. Design flow Qs = Qj + Ψ·ΣF·q/1000 (m³/s). Full circular velocity v = (D/4)^(2/3)·√(i/1000)/0.013; capacity Q = π·v·D²/4. Velocity ≥ 0.7 m/s is self-cleaning; capacity must be no less than design flow.
