1 Problem:

Determine the size of a composite drain to convey a 5-year ARI minor system design flow from a proposed 2
hectare bungalow development in Kuala Lumpur. The post-development time of concentration, tc at the
development outlet is estimated to be 25 minutes.

2 Determine design flows for the composite drain:

(A) Intensity Eqn 2.2

T = 5 yr ARI Table 1.1

d = 25 min

Location & ARI, T Storm Derived Parameters

(B) peak flow

Eqn . 2.3

i = 131.59
mm/hr
A = 2 ha
c = 0.65 Table 2.5

= 0.65 x 131.59 x 2.00 = 0.48 m3/s 0.48

360 m3/s

(C) For dry-weather base flows and minor flows up to a 10 mm rainfall depth,

Assume storm duration = 25 min 14.2.4.1

Hence, the design flows are:

0.65 x 10.00 x 2.00 = 0.09 m3/s 0.09

25 60 m3/s
360.00

3 Calculate size of lined drain section (dry-weather base flows):

Manning’s n for concrete lining = 0.015

Assuming:
Drain longitudinal slope = 0.500 % (1 in 200) 0.50 %
Drain width, B = 0.600 m 0.60 m
Side slope, Z = 0 0.00

Q= v x A

Provided dimension of lined drain:

Drain width, B = 0.600 m
Depth, D = 0.200 m
Velocity, v = 1.147 m/s
Discharge, Q = 0.138
m3/s
The drain dimensions are 0.60 m wide x 0.20 m deep, which is within the recommended limits.

Check flow velocity for lined drain. (0.6<v<2 m/s); OK
