This 2-hour interactive online course discusses the basics of designing an adequate system for storm drainage for a parking lot or other similar hard-surface area. Engineers and architects are often required to include the design of a parking lot when designing a building. This basic course is intended for engineers and architects that do not have much training in hydrology and hydraulics.
The course will include information on data necessary to determine rainfall intensities, selection of appropriate design parameters and sizing of storm drain inlets.
Topics include:
- Introduction
- Rational Formula
- Runoff Coefficients
- Rainfall Intensity
- Contributing Drainage Areas
- Time of Concentration
- Inlet Sizing and Location
- Parking Lot Grading
