Design of storm pipe flow
(OP)
This question was asked before,however it was not answered. My question is when sizing a storm drain pipe, is it sized for full flow or for partial flow as in an open channel?

RE: Design of storm pipe flow
So I would first check with your governing entity to see what they require then proceed in that manner. If left up to the designer then I would design for pressure flow. A spread-sheet can be used to optimize sizes etc... Pipe slopes will not dictate pipe velocity in a pressure system as in a free surface system. It also depends on the topography of your design site. Just some things to think about.
