There will be some infiltration, as it is requried that there be permeable soil for 30" below the bottom of the swale with an underdrain at the bottom which discharges to a wetland area.
There are two other stormwater basins on the site, but we are trying to pick up a small portion of the site...
I am working on a commercial project in New York State, not the city, and my boss has asked me to see if a dry swale will be able to treat a portion of the runoff. The stormwater design manual says that the swale should be sized to carry a ten-year storm.
So, how could I model this in the...
I will be preparing a stormwater management report for an industrial site (new construction) with a large gravel area. The area will be approximately 5 acres with a 12" depth. I was wondering what curve number you guys think would be best to use. I have worked on other projects before where I...
Sorry for reposting, but I think this would be a better forum for this question than where I had origionally placed it.
I am working on an office building project which has been completed, however the contractor installed the water line for the building sprinkler system approximately 36" below...
I am working on an office building project which has been completed, however the contractor installed the water line for the building sprinkler system approximately 36" below grade due to shallow bedrock. The frost line here is approximately 42" and the water within the sprinkler system will not...
I was wondering what codes or practices are used to determine the loads on a residential structure? I am currently working in the site work and land development area of civil engineering, however I graduated from college a few years ago and my structures and structural design classes are still...
I am looking into the design of a small wastewater treatment facility and I am trying to figure out what is typically in wastewater (i.e. BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, Nitroden, Ammonia, tempurature, and probably a few other things). The wastewater will be generated by office staff and factory workers...
I graduated from a four year school last year with a BS in civil engineering and I am interested in obtaining a masters degree. I want to keep working during the days and do schoolwork at night. I don't live or work close enough to any colleges that offer any type of civil engineering education...
I am working on an industrial project located in upstate New York and have been asked to write a report to go along with the SPDES permit application form. I intend on putting detailed information about the path of the water from when it enters the faciltiy to when it will be discharged and some...
I am working on a relatively small, aprozimately 2 acre pond, dredging project in upstate New York; and I am trying to find a way to keep sediment from flowing out of the outlet weir. I've been looking at turbidity curtains but I don't think I can use them across a flowing watercoarse. I know...
I appreciate the help, but you were right about the site being limited to computer topics. I'm looking more toward structure engineering, and land development (i.e. infrastructure, wastewater treatment plants, asphalt, etc.)
Does anyone know of a good online bookstore, or even just a website with accurate reviews, for engineering books. I really don't want to spend tons of money on books that I will never use. Thanks for your time.
Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who helped me on my previous questions.
I am working on a project where I am trying to use a residential type septic tank and absorption field sewage disposal system for an existing relatively small catfish smokehouse. I have taken some water samples to see...
