    Historical Rainfall Intensity Data

    I seem to have found what I was looking for here: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/search if anyone would happen to need it in the future. If anyone knows of any other sources I would greatly appreciate them as well.

    Historical Rainfall Intensity Data

    What I am looking for is a database that contains historical rainfall intensity data for a specific location that can be downloaded easily. I have found this (http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge2/RFC_Precip/) on NOAA's site and it's perfect honestly; you can look up a specific area and then see the...

    Flow Measurement

    Is it possible to calculate the flow rate entering a pipe by merely measuring the depth of the fluid entering it? The pipe is gravity fed. Initially I began researching circular weirs however after further thought there isn't a crest present allowing for free fall to occur.

    CMU Vertical Reinforcement Design

    I just wanted to bump this thread for further insight on the economical aspect of the situation.

    Scum Management

    I am currently working on a WWTP upgrade and my supervisor and I are running into a problem deciding what to do with the scum out of the primary clarifiers. Currently the scum is skimmed into a trough and routed into a "scum concentration box." Once the grease and scum coagulate the material...

    CMU Vertical Reinforcement Design

    I wanted to extend my thanks first of all to everyone who has contributed and delivered insight. There are a few things I would like to mention, so that everyone may see my perspective on the situation. I was suppose an important question I must pose is economics related. I noticed...

    CMU Vertical Reinforcement Design

    I am currently designing a small CMU building with exterior load bearing walls that surpass the IBC's lateral support requirements (2109.4.1) The code states that load bearing walls (non solid units / not fully grouted) not exceed a distance of 18 times the thickness. 8" CMU Block X 18 = 144"...

    Concrete Tank Slab

    According to the flotation calculations 18" is the depth necessary. I was just wanting to ensure there wasn't something else I might be overlooking.

    Concrete Tank Slab

    I am currently revising a concrete clarifier slab thickness and reinforcement. The clarifier is being relocated on the site from a poor soil condition location to a relatively good soil condition location. We are in the process of getting new bore holes drilled in the exact location; however a...

    Concrete Water Channel Design

    Thank you for the help and input everyone, it is greatly appreciated. It appears for this particular application that the channel empty governed in the overall design.

    Concrete Water Channel Design

    I am currently trying to design a concrete water channel for a headworks building. I was just wondering what the best approach for this situation was. Initially I thought designing the channel much like that of a retaining wall would be the best approach. However I came across the PCA's...

    Cocnrete Equipment Pad Design

    I have been unable to find any information on equipment pad design. I was interested in knowing what the proper procedure might be. Initially I thought you would design it similar to an isolated footing; however I would imagine there are lateral loads in relation to equipment vibration. I was...
