Is this a senior project? or graduate project? What I found through the years is that a safe water supply is very important for quality of life. I would recommend that you explore different system types and select one that suits your needs. Another choice could be intelligent transportation systems that ...

'No harm" is demonstrated by showing that an increase in the base flood elevation does not adversely affect structures, roadways , etc. (public safety) and velocities will not increase erosion of streambanks or damage properties. ------------------------------ John Wood P.E., M.ASCE Project Engineer ...

Here in the Mid-Atlantic region, standard design is to keep the entire proposed structure and grading above of the base flood elevation determined by FEMA, Regulatory Agency or registered engineer. If this is not feasible, a hydraulic analysis is required to show no harm upstream and downstream of the ...

I believe to "anchor" the pavement, additional reinforcing in the pavement section is required or it would tear apart from the forces overtopping the pavement, making it cost prohibitive. In my experience, where there are overtopping flows with high velocities, asphalt does not hold up. Perhaps the use ...

Good Morning Ray, I assume that you are referring to a storm sewer system. Most engineers use the Manning's equation, either through free flow or hydraulic grade line calculations, to determine the velocity in the pipe segment. Once you have the velocity, the travel time is easily calculated. Good ...
