Is anyone here familiar with the County of Orange (So Cal) design criteria for sizing detention basins? Storm Event and Duration.....Feedback would be much appreciated!
I am referring to pond storage. I am not sure what you mean by which UH data I would want to use. Are there specific ones to choose from, or should I be referring to the local hydrology manual? I would be using the TYPE II distribution.
I am using TR-55 because I am not sure how to run...
All,
I am new to using the TR-55 software and have a few questions. Please see below. My goal is to use the hydrograph data in the input file for HEC-1, so that I may determine storage volume. I would need to do so for the 100 year 6hr and 24 hr storm.
1. Where can I find Unit Hydrograph...
The proposed condition rational method 100 year peak flow is 4.44 cfs. The existing condition rational method 100 year peak flow is 3.10 cfs. I am trying to reduce flows down to the existing condition. HEC-1 provides the hydrograph for the inflow and outflow, and the corresponding storage...
All,
I am analyzing a system for use in Colorado. I am using the SCS method to prepare the flood hydrograph, for use in basin routing via HEC-1. The system is basically 3-36" CMP pipes at 200' each. Using HEC-1, with an outlet pipe size of 6", HEC-1 is telling me I need to provide a good...
All,
I have a question regarding a stairway exit of a multifamily building. The scenario is a stairway has been constructed, and it was constructed 8" above grade. Thus, we are providing a stoop and 2 steps. A portion of the curved step comes down to a concrete path of travel. The remainder...
Hi all. I am working on a proposed underground CMP detention system in Colorado. I have the 2 year peaks flows, via rational method, for both the existing and proposed condition, and need to provide some detention to reduce flows (so as to satisfy the City). Please provide your input on the...
This is being done for LEED certification (USGBC), so the County of Orange will not be reviewing this. However, I have put in an email to the County to see what I can get my hands on. Wish me luck. I was able to download NOAA 2 from the link, and it does not provide data for the 1 year...
CVG,
Thanks for clarifying. That is exactly where I stand. I will have to interpolate to determine the 1 year data, using the 2 year to 100 year IDF, as you suggest CVG. Or I can obtain precipitation data from the nearest rain gage, and develop my own 1 year precipitation from the data.
Thank you both for your responses. Unfortunately, I checked the NOAA website, and my particular project does not fall within the data range of NOAA 14. And NOAA Atlas 2 doesn't provide the 1 year 24 hour duration. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions. I may just be out of...
I have a site located in the County of Orange (California) with existing Imperviousness less than 50%. My question pertains to Leed Credit 6.1. Please see my questions below. I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
The requirement is to provide discharge rate and volume for the existing and...
Thank you GBam. Please see my questions/comments to your responses below.
2. I think this can only be done when the existing HGL is relatively low. How would this be possible if you have an existing pipe already under pressure, and the DS HGL is high?
5. I am not familiar with the term...
This thread has started to discuss the basics of hydraulics. It is always nice to revisit the fundamentals from time to time, to make sure we're all headed in the right direction.
Anyhow, I am officially opening the Hydraulics thread for discussion. This could include anything from using...
A PVC catch basin was considered, but it would be difficult to install this as part of a system, that is located in the garages. Please note that this system is hanging in the ceiling, as I'm sure many of you have seen in underground garages (aka subterranean garage). Having anything too large...
The orifice would work if sized correctly. Have you seen this application anywhere? Sounds like a custom 4" pvc pipe with this orifice. Thanks for the response!
