CANPRO,
The span of the opening is approximately 12', with 4' of both ends supported by earth. These supporting areas will need analysis as well, but I'm not concerned about those at the moment. Could I just apply a point load mid-span to be conservative? Also, do you have any suggestions on...
I am proposing to construct a temporary crossing across a wide ditch using 12" x 12" oak timbers. Four 20' long timbers are bolted together, similar to a crane mat. I am proposing to place a set of them from top of bank to top of bank to form a 8' wide deck. The load will be a 35,000 lbs 3 axle...
Greetings All,
I am a still a new user to the SWMM universe. Let me give you all the setup. I am designing the hydraulics for a small decentralized wastewater system that serves about 5 4-bedroom homes. The effluent flows into a 3000 gallon wet well where two same sized alternating pumps need...
I am trying to evaluate the soil loss in a agricultural watershed. The drawback to using RUSLE is that the length cannot exceed 1000 feet. Is there another method to estimating soil loss in a medium size watershed?
Working on a minor bank stabilization project that will consist of 3:1 slopes in hydraulic conditions. The banks will be approximatley 6 feet high. Seeking a single fabric that will provide both strength and hold back finer soils. I do not want to install two fabrics, I want to keep the cost...
What information would I need to gather in creating a rough lake level outlet into a county drain? What chacteristics would I need to know of the lake watershed? I know that the Dept. of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE) has the final judgement.
Looking for a good design procedure to use when designing point source discharge from a site. Does anybody know of a nice easy to understand step by step procedure???
Even if anyone knows of a book.
I am only concentrating on suspended solids, the soils washing downstream are smaller in size from muck farming in the upper branches of watershed. The watershed is almost entirely farm use. Yes, there is a large delta, when the water finally does slow down enough.
We have a sedimention problem in a large network of county drains that outlets to a large lake. The lake is filling up slowly with sediment. We are trying to pin point the locations of the highest sediment by using a flow-meter, rain guage, and taking samples and having them anaylized for...
I have a land developer who wants to put in a properly engineered privacy berm between his subdivision and the neighbooring subdivision. He wants it around 9' tall. What are the standard slopes of a berm? Neglecting soil type. I am looking for the average slope steepness.
