CV 416 - Analysis and Design of Sewerage Systems3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the design and rehabilitation of sewage collection systems, and pump stations/force mains. Topics covered include the development of design flow rates, the analysis and design of gravity sewer systems, sewer network simulation methods using SWMM, pump station and force main design, sewer system rehabilitation, and the structural design of sewers. The goal of this course is to introduce the students to various issues that he or she may encounter in analyzing, designing, or rehabilitating sanitary and combined sewer systems. (prereq: CV 415 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Develop design discharge rates based upon population forecasts and infiltration and inflow (I/I) rates
- Apply pipe friction and minor loss equations to calculate flow depth and surcharge levels in wastewater collection system (open/closed channel piping)
- Model a wastewater collection system to determine flow rates and surcharge levels for design conditions.
- Identify appropriate appurtenances needed for the proper operation of wastewater collection systems
- Size pumps, force mains and inverted siphons for use in wastewater collection systems
- Identify issues involved with major wastewater pump station designs
- Layout vertical and horizontal alignment of a sanitary sewer
- Design pipes, backfill, and pipe restraint systems to meet applied structural loads
- Identify engineering issues related to wastewater collection system degradation (i.e., investigation techniques, corrosion, loss of available capacity, leakage, alternatives to reduce I/I rates, trenchless rehabilitation options)
