Reverse Crown
Reverse Crown
(OP)
I want to use a reverse crown profile to drain water from a city owned driving and parking area. This area will be reconstructed and is small enough so that we don't need onsite drainage.
Is it ok to have 2 8ft panels, with a 2% and -2% slope each towards the middle? Will having a joint right at the flow line be a problem?
As you can tell, concrete design is not my strong point!
Any pointers will be appreciated! thanks!

I am looking at a good .5 to 1% slope, longitudinally.

I have the following questions:
#1. The width and thickness of the section used to pave the inverted crown invert?
#2. The number and size of the rebars that did the job in light traffic conditions?
#3. Unintended consequences and things that went wrong?
Thanks,
