Drainage
Rural:
1. Transverse slopes (Roadway crown) on both pavements and shoulders
(recommended 2-6%)
2. Side slope
(Table 12.1 in Ref Ranges for cross slopes for pavements & Shoulders)
- Steep to drain but safe and comfortable for driver.
3. Longitudinal slopes on both pavements and shoulders (> 0.5%)
4. Ditches (longitudinal open channels)
Mostly In cut sections,
Flat bottomed or Vee
Grades similar to center line.
(Table 8.2-3 in Ref. for recommended cross sections)
5. Culverts, Bridges
Cross-Drainage .
See Chapter 16 in text for details of cross and side slopes

Hydrologic Considerations
of Run Off
Existing stream..use available records.
Return Period (RP): Estimated frequency for
rare events (floods) (i.e. peak design flow).
Higher R P = More sever storm = More costly
system.
R P = 50yrs for interstate, = 10 25 yrs for
streets and roads, and 5 10 yrs for light
traffic facilities.
frequency
Statistical
based
Indicate mean annual flood as a function of
the size of the drainage area for each
hydrological region.
Regional flood curves are available (Flood
Hydrographs (flow vs. time) see Fig. 12-1.
Engineers design drainage facilities to
accommodate the peak flow.
Duration of rainfall.
Occurrence (return period).
Rational method
Most
Common
Used for small areas (200 acres)
Q = C I A
Q = Run off (Ft3/sec)
C = Run off Coeff. (ratio (run off/ rain fall)
I = Rain Fall Intensity (in./ hr) for the estimated
time of concentration.
A= Drainage Area (acres).
1 acre = 4046.87 m2
Rational method
Most
Common
Used for small areas (80 hectares)
Q = C I A / 360
Q = Run off (m3/sec)
C = Run off Coeff. (ratio (run off/ rain fall)
I = Rain Fall Intensity (mm/ hr) for the
estimated time of concentration.
A= Drainage Area (hectares)
1 hectare = 10,000 m2
Mannings Formula
V = [R2/3 * S1/2]/ n
V = Mean Velocity (m/s).
R = Hydraulic radius (m) = [Area / wetted perimeter].
S = Slope of channel.
n = Mannings roughness coefficient.

Inlet control : Find HW & control HW
Elev.
Outlet: TW, dc, ho = TW or [(D+dc)/2]
which is greater, ke, Find H= energy loss
HW Elevation at outlet = ELo + ho + H
Compare control HW Elev. For inlet and
out let Elev. The higher controls the flow.
