Major Drain Capacity Analysis

This document summarizes the calculations for sizing the major drain for a catchment area consisting of a school and residential area totaling 10.4 hectares. It calculates the length, slope, cross-sectional area, velocity, and flow capacity of the major drain needed to safely convey a peak flow rate of 6.679 cubic meters per second during a storm. The results indicate the drain capacity exceeds the expected peak flow and the maximum velocity is below the limit of 2 meters per second.

Major Drain

Reference Calculation Output


nd
All reference is Manual SaliranMesraAlam (MSMA 2
Edition)

Catchment area = CA1 – CA24


Land use = Sekolah& RMMJ
1. Area = 104397 m2 (10.4397 ha)
2. Horton's Roughness Value, n* = 0.015
3. Length major drain (m) = 1221.373 m
4. Elevation Level
Elevation Level Top (m) = 125m
Elevation Level Bottom (m) = 62m
5. Gradient, G (m)
G = EL Top – EL Bottom
G = 125 – 62
G = 63m
6. Friction’s slope, S (m/m)
S = Gradient, G / Length major drain
S = 63 / 1221.373
S = 0.0516
7. Area of drain, A
A = 2500mm (Depth) x 1500mm (Width)
A = 3750 000mm2 (3.75m2)
8. Wetted perimeter, P
P = (2.5 x 2) + 1.5
P = 6.5m
9. Hydraulic Gradient, R
R = A/P
R = 3.75/6.5
R = 0.5769 m
10. Peak Flow, Q (m3/s) : from cumulative minor drain
Q = 6.679 m3/s
11. Velocity limit = 2 m/s
12. Drain capacity , Q
Q = (AR^(2/(3 )) S^(1/2))/n
Q = (3.75 x 〖0.5769〗^(2/3) x 〖0.0516〗^(1/2))/0.015
Q = 39.349m3/s
13. Check Q
Therefore, Peak flow, Q < Drain capacity, Q OK!
14. Drain Velocity, V
V = Peak flow, Q / Area Drain, A
V = 6.679 / 3.75
V = 1.78 m/s
15. Check V
Therefore, Drain velocity < Velocity limit OK !
