However i seem to be having problems when i bring the whole lot into simulation. Nothing seems to be linking up. I have a system...

    Attenuation and Permeable paving for Stormwater attenuation

    Yes cvg. I definitely take your argument about the runoff during the 100 year storm. I think myself that the Tank should be sized to allow a min amount of backup - ie the storage in the granular fill. Thanks for the help

    Attenuation and Permeable paving for Stormwater attenuation

    I have been told to conservatively to ignore infiltration under the permeable pavement. Yes the tank has an outflow into a main sewer with flow limited to 5 l/sec using a hydrobrake. The pavement is a precast slab 1m * 3m with slots between to allow for drainage. Underneath is 50mm of clean...

    Attenuation and Permeable paving for Stormwater attenuation

    Hi all I am currently trying to design an attenuation tank with a permeable paving area for a 100 year storm with a max volumn of 501m3 as required by the client on the job. All drainage initially runs to the attenuation tank. I have sized my tank at 144m3. The plan area of the pavement area is...

    Metric Conversions

    Hey all I seem to be having some problems converting Imperical units to metric as i am a uk engineer. The problem is to do with Shear in a flat slab. Allowable Vc=4*sqrt(Fc)*bo*dv Imperical Units Vn=102,000lb fc=4000psi bo=83in And the imperical depth for the slab is given as 4.86in Mertic...
