Rain fall data for the design of sewer pipe systems
Abstract
A comparison of designs of sewer pipes for different types of rainfall data is presented. Local coefficients were evaluated from an 18-year historical rainfall record for the following design storms: The Average-Intensity-Duration Design Storm, The Chicago Design Storm, The Sifalda Design Storm, The Illinois State Water Survey Design Storm, and The Flood Studies Report Design Storm. Historical rainfalls as well as the above design storms were used for the calculations of peak-flow values.
