DESCRIPTION **Also see (CDFA and UDINLET) by J.C.Y. Guo

This book presents the latest developments in street drainage design and inlet sizing. Street drainage is vital to the preservation of urban environment. All streets are designed to pass the excess storm water. Street drainage design is always subject to the public safety that sets forth the allowable water spread on street and flow depth in gutter.

Chapter 1 covers street classifications and their functions for both traffic movement and storm water drainage. The design rainfall statistics in Chapter 2 and the rational method in Chapter 3 are introduced to determine the stormwater design flow on the street. Street hydraulic capacity is defined for two aspects: conveyance capacity for a sloping street in Chapter 4 and storage capacity at a street sump in Chapter 5. Wherever the design flow exceeds the street allowable capacity, a street inlet should be placed. From the hydraulic point of view, street inlets are classified into sump and on-grade interceptions. Chapter 6 in this book summarizes the design procedures to size grate, curb opening, slotted, and combination inlets. Street inlets are connected to the street manhole and sewer systems. Chapter 7 presents the basic procedure to size the sewer segments in a storm sewer system. All sewer segments are subject to the backwater effect. Chapter 8 outlines the detailed procedure to calculate the hydraulic and energy grade lines. Depending on the upstream and downstream conditions, a sewer flow is analyzed as open-channel flow, surcharged flow, or pressurized flow. The design methodology summarized in this book has been adopted by the metropolitan cities and counties in Denver, Colorado. The computing procedures for street hydraulic analysis and inlet sizing have been computerized for convenience. UDINLET is a Micro Soft Excel model for street drainage design that includes (1) analysis of street allowable capacity, (2) determination of minor and major flood flow conditions, and (3) sizing of street inlets on a continuous grade or in a sump. Neo-UDSEWER is the computer model developed to analyze the flow through a sewer system using circular, rectangular, and elliptical pipes. Neo-UDSEWER is capable of analyzing the mixed flow among open channel flow, surcharged flow, and pressurized flow when the sewer exit is subject to a high tailwater. Neo-UDSEWER calculates hydraulic and energy grade lines with consideration of friction, bend, and juncture losses. Neo-UDSEWER also calculates the excavated earth volume along the sewer system for cost estimation.
