Engineering 101: Storm Design

I have seen a number of questions on in the Discussion imageGroup recently regarding the Hydraflow Storm Sewer Extension and the calculation that do not exactly meet expectations.  There have been some misunderstandings, and some assumptions.  While I am jumping over Intensity, I think this is time to talk about some calculation options because they are connected.

Engineering 101: The Rational Method for Runoff Calculations

We’ve all been working hard here at Engineered Efficiency to bring you useful content related to Civil 3D, including the recent launch of our new service offerings, EE CivilAccess and EE GuidedAccess which both include unlimited instructor-led, hands-on training and the EE ProPack add-on. However, someone who’s been in the industry a very long time and whom I greatly respect suggested I tackle a different bunch of postings: civil engineering basics. I thought it was a great idea and decided to turn this into a regular series of Engineering 101 postings. If you didn’t study civil engineering in school, or if you did, maybe your emphasis was in another engineering discipline (Ceramic Engineering, anyone?), or maybe you just want to brush up on some engineering principals that underlie the use of Civil 3D, this series of posts is for you.

This first in the series covers the basics of calculating runoff using one of the most popular methods, the Rational Method. Maybe you know it better as Q = ciA. Read more after the jump.

More H&H Toys on Subscription Site

Hydraflow Express and Hydraflow Hydrographs are now up on the subscription site. Chuck Lamping was kind enough to remind me via a comment, and Angel has more information, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t at least mention it in a new article.

Happy Floodplaining! (And other H&H stuff too.)
