I am trying to label the street profile I created in AutoCAD Civil 3D. I have gone through and created new label styles and also tried to use the standard style. I am trying to label my curve data, beginning/end elevations, and elevations of existing and proposed surfaces at major stations. Are...
beej6... TY for the information. I looked at your website and you do some major work in the hydraulics field. Is Briscad a program that you implement for your projects?
I'm going to look into it today. I'm hoping we can find something that uses numerous analysis methods. We normally use the...
We are a small civil company and are behind regarding software. We are growing though. With that said, we don't have a large sum of money lying around to go purchase the latest software. BUT, we know we need to do something if we want to keep up. We are currently running AutoCAD Lite 2004! Our...
I have calculations for the design of detention/retention basins, but not sure how (or if) I can apply the outflow parameters for a subsurface system.
For a particular portion of the development, I have 13.596 cfs within a pipe. I'd like to decrease this flowrate to about 1.50 cfs before...
How do I calculate the storage volume required if I have:
a. my impact, in cubic feet per second, to the site due to development
b. my proposed hydrograph
I NEED TO DETAIN ABOUT 12 CFS WITHIN A SUBSURFACE PIPE SYSTEM. I'm just not sure which time I need to compare that rate to in order to...
I am a graduate engineer with a relatively young civil engineering firm. We do alot of subdivisions, municipal work, land surveying, construction layout, etc. We are trying to get a little more organized rather than just going through our yellow notepads and using Outlook. I'm aware of some...
I have been doing HUD approved foundation designs for new mobile homes for a few months now. However, I have not done a retrofit design yet. The current structure is a 27'x72' and sits on dry stacked blocks. I have researched numerous techniques to bring this foundation into compliance for...
I am working on my first water system upgrade. I would like to use EPANet because its free and its what I used in school. What is the best way to go about building a model for a very large rural system? The system covers approximatley 36 sq.miles. I've attached a large portion of the network...
Thanks guys for the help...
The system has 1,324 current meters with 2.6 persons per household. Mixed use (2 commerical, 3 very large schools, and all others residential).
Nonetheless, I have a value of 688,480 gals needed at the present time per USDA recommendations for a 2 day storage...
I am trying to confirm the recommendation for drinking water storage as related to a distribution system. Is there a link anyone has that outlines this and other recommendations/guidelines?
I currently have that the USDA Rural Utility Service recommends 100 gal/capita/day for two days...
I appreciate the advice. I don't want to come across as lazy, but I am looking for direction to a PER for a project which has been completed. I just want something to look at in order to help me with the format as well as the content. I have found a few PERs on the internet for roadway...
I am taking on my first rural water development project. The water district is aware that this is new to me, so no problems there. The system is in need of an additional well with a storage tank. The first thing I must do is compile a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) along with an...
Thanks for the suggestions thus far. The design for this particular type of sign does not consist of a base plate. The structures are usually located just outside of the state r/w (typically along the interstate). I design under the assumption that a rebar cage will be dropped into the hole...
I have a question relating to the original one. First off, I don't claim to be a structural engineer. We do have a couple on staff... hats off to all of you guys. I'm more of a site developement guy... dirt and water. Anyway, I have done a couple of signs and billboards and the question was...
