I didn't notice this before, but literally laughed out loud as this is essentially what I'm saying in my post. But don't we all to some degree balance our reputation with design cost? FYI: ~2.5x the cost.
LI & BI,
Thank you both for your posts, you have been very helpful.
Yes, I was going to...
Littleinch,
I'm familiar with the table you are referring to, or at least I have one that is similar, but it is based on unconstrained conditions I believe.
I didnt mention this earlier, but the system will be in -7 PSI gauge always as its a syphon at the lowest pressure zone, but I have...
Mike,
Yes, I know its counter intuitive regarding the soil pressure.
In regards to over designing: Yes, I agree with you and this is how I would typically do it... Never been congratulated after working hard to save money...but i'd really like to try for this one. Its likely just not worth it...
BigInch,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes, I did assume initial ovalality at install in the calculation.
We were planning to used crushed rock for the primary / secondary backfill ( Haunch and crown), and would cover with geotextile should ground water be present to prevent any soil...
Hello,
I hope someone with experience can clear something up for me.
I'm trying to size required DR for a water pipeline under full vacuum. The pipeline will be buried 3m, and I intend to achieve a soil reaction - E' = 2000-3000 psi through material type and high compaction.
Now, when...
Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for a design resource to gauge the amount of water each person will use for: showering & toilet / day.
The facility is an addiction treatment centre.
We would like to reuse the shower water for toilet water, so for such a facility i'm looking at design value for...
Yes, this is the book I already own... but I want the excel format! specifically, the data tables in excel.
Ive tried to convert my pdf to excel but it gets messy / data lost in the process.
Hello Everyone,
I've heard of this elusive creature but have not been able to locate it on the internet and was hoping someone could help me out.
I'm looking for an excel database containing all the design coefficients from the most recent Rectangular Concrete Tanks, By: PCA (Portland Cement...
Hello,
I'm currently helping with the design of a pumping system where there overall static head is negative, and i've never dealt with a problem like this before.
I was hoping you guys could point out considerations for this type of problem, and also help explain how a system curve would be...
