Design of sanitary sewer system. Storm drainage system analysis, rainfall-runoff relationship. Two lectures, one two-hour problem period. Spring  (Cr.3) 

Prerequisite: ENGS 303. Pressure flow and open channel hydraulics.  Ordinary differential equations.  Ability to use spread sheet program, (i.e., Excel)

 

Course Goals:  

  1. To design hydraulic systems including reservoir, transmission, network and sewerage projects.

Course Objectives:

  • To design hydraulic systems including reservoir, transmission, network and sewerage projects.

  • Course Objectives:

  • The students will be able to

  • Analyze precipitation and runoff in a drainage area from point precipitation, interception and infiltration.

  • Determine the unit graph, runoff

  • Compute rain and flood frequency analysis from gaging records.

  • Design reservoirs, spillways, dams and appurtenant structures.

  • Solve problems on closed conduits and open channels and design the sanitary sewer, storm sewer, highway ditches and other drainage systems.

  • Design of culvert and bridge waterways.
