Soakaway Trench Design and Calculation 1 Event

This document provides calculations for the design of a standard perforated concrete soakaway. It includes: 1. Rainfall and runoff coefficient data for the site based on ASHGHAL standards. 2. Calculation of the inflow volume to the soakaway based on the draining surface area, rainfall depth, and runoff coefficient. 3. Details of the trench soakaway configuration including dimensions and storage volume calculations. 4. Calculation of the outflow rate from the soakaway based on infiltration rate tests and evaporation rate. 5. Determination of the required total length of trenches to store the inflow volume based on infiltration outflow rates and trench storage volumes.

SOAKAWAY DESIGN AND CALCULATIONS

Soakaway type: Standard perforated concrete soakaway Design is in accordance with ASHGHAL and BRE Digest 365

1. Rainfall Data
Referring to ASHGAL V3 Section 1.5.3.2 , Rainfall Depth Data shall be considered as 1 in 5 RP for major road
Ranifall Depth (R) = 45 mm Refer To Appendix A

2. Runoff coefficient
Referring to ASHGAL V3 Section 1.6.1, Table 1.6.1 Examples of Runoff Coefficients.
Runoff Coefficient (C) = 0.7 Refer To Appendix B

3. Draining surface area


Referring to project stormwater layout, the soakaways are Distributed in the site to collect the stormwater from Roads, Pavement playgrounds
and open areas within the project plot boundary.
Surface Area (A) = 3,495.00 m2 Refer To Arch Drawings

4. Inflow volume in m3 over one hour storm period


I=AxR
Inflow volume (I) = 3495x0.7X45/1000 = 110.0925 m3

5. Soakaway Configuration and effective depth


Soakaway Trenches Will be used for the project According to ASHGHAL Design guideline Vol.3
Soakaway type: Trench Soakaway
Trench Cover width = 0.75 m
Trench Slab thickness = 0.2 m
Trench inner width = 1.2 m
Trench wall Thickness = 0.25 m
Refer To Trench Details
Trench Total width = 1.7 m Appendix C
Trench inner depth = 0.65 m
granular width under the trench = 2.40 m3
granular depth under the trench = 0.20 m3
Trench Total depth = 1.05 m
Assume Empty level is 0.15 m below Slab level to allow free flow

Effective depth = Total Depth of Trench - 0.15 m (to allow free flow)
Effective depth = 0.65-0.15= 0.5 m

6.Trench Soakaway Storage volume per meter length


Trench soakaways are filled by granular fill with a Depth of 0.2 m inside trench & 0.2 under the trench
Assume 30% free volume of granular fill of the trench
Assume Rectraculger Trench pit Side length 1 m
Free volume in granular fill = (Area of granular fill - Area of soakaway) x effective depth x free volume percentage
Free volume in granular fill =0.2x1.2x1x0.3 = 0.14 m3
volume within concrete Wall Side =0.45x1x1x= 0.60 m3
Total storage volume (S) = free volume in granular fill + volume within concrete ring units

Total storage volume (S) = 0.144 + 0.6 = 0.74 m3


7. Outflow from Soakaway per meter length
O =as50 x f x D+evaportation rate Refer To BRE Digest 365
Outflow from Infiltration rate
According to the Geotechnical report for the plot, there are two dissipation tests in the project site. And this report will be calculated according to
the average value, so that the soil infiltration rate will be:
Referring to M007-SOQ-GEO-RPT-00020_REV4.0 ,Appendix A7,at MS-BH-13-01 Test
Infiltration rate (f) = 5.50E-07 m/s Refer To Appendix D
as =internal surface area of trench soakaway
as = Trench floor area +trench open side area
as = 2.60 m2
Storm duration D is considered 1 hour
Infiltration Outflow Volume Rate (O) = 0.8x1x5.5*10^-7 x (1x3600) = 0.0051480 m3/hr

Outflow from evaportation rate


Reference: 2011 Ashrae Handbook Applications 5.6
Wp = A/Y (Pw-Pa)(0.089+0.0782V) Refer To Appendix E
Water temperature (C) 32 C
Air temperature (C) 35.3 C
Relative Humidity 75%
Velocity at water Surface 1.5 m/s
Y:Lateant Heat Required to Change Water To Vapor 2400 KJ/KG
A:Free area of Trench
pw: saturation surface Area
vapor pressure taken at surface water temperature, 1.2 m2
kPa 4.7592 KPA
pa: saturation pressure at dew point, kPa 4.2829 KPA
Wp: evaporation of water 4.9134E-05 kg/s
Infiltration Outflow Volume Rate (O) == 0.00017688 m3/hr
Ototal per m length = 0.0053300 m3/hr
Out Volume Flow Rate per 24 Hour 0.1279200 m3

8. Required Total Trenches Length


Total Area Inflow volume (I) from Project area per 1st 24 hr event = 110.09 m3/Day
Outflow Volume per meter square of Trench (O) in Each 24 hr Event = 0.12800 m3/Day
storage volume per meter square of Trench (S) = 0.75 m3

By applying the equation of volumes for Required Trench Volume


I-O*Z= S*Z
Where
Z: is no. of Trench Soakaways Length
O : Outflow Volume in Each 24 hr Event
I : Total Area Inflow volume 2 Day
110.09 -0.128xZ = 0.75 x Z

By solving the above equation, we got the required Total Trenches Length = Z= 125

Total Length of Trench Soakaways = 125 m


Area covered per meter of Trench = 3495/126 28 m2

9. Time of emptying of soakaway
Time of emptying of soakaway (ts50) = (0.744X 0.5)/0.00533)
Time of emptying of soakaway (ts50) = 69.79 Hours
