Lab Exercise 8
NAME:
1) Describe what is meant by the term return period?
Geog455-49/54 - Urban Site Development
Spring 2024
2) What is the runoff coefficient for a 20 acre site where 7 acres are covered by an asphalt parking lot; 11
acres of grass lawns with heavy soils with up to 2% slopes, and 2 acres of grassy lawns with heavy soils
and 10% slopes? Use the most conservative values (Higher coefficient values) from Table 9.1 on the
last page. 3) Calculate the runoff flow rate for a 1 hour - 10 year design storm event with total rainfall amount of 3.5
inches in 2 hours for the following development types. The site area is 20 acres.
Use the most conservative values (Higher coefficient values) from Table 9.1 on the last page.
a. Residential: Single Family
b. Residential: Multi units Attached
c. Industrial: Light Areas 4) Given the following concrete pipe: D = 24”, n = 0.012, and slope = 0.02; what is the flow rate for the
following two scenarios (See Figure 21.16):
a. Full flow: (y=D)
b. Partial full flow: (y = 0.94*D)
c. What can you interpret from the results from (a) and (b)?

5) From the information provided in Figure 9.12 below answer questions a, b, and c, (See next 2
pages) for a 24-in diameter reinforced concrete storm sewer pipe with wall thickness of 0.30 feet.

a. What is the amount of clearance between the bottom of the storm sewer pipe and the top of
the water main crossing at 10+23.00 with top of water main pipe elevation of 98.95 feet? b. What is the amount of cover over the top of the storm sewer pipe at the surface low-point
location at 8+78.00 with elevation = 107.30 feet?
c. Using the analysis from Q5, what is the maximum flow rate this pipe could carry (Assuming
n = 0.012)? Note: calculate this conservatively by assuming the pipe is completely full (D = y)
