What You Will Learn?

You will learn how to design and analyze an urban storm drainage system consisting of street drainage, inlets. You will also learn how use two spreadsheet models, UDINLET and UDSTREET, to estimate street capacities and to size different types of inlets.

To help you with the task of storm sewer system design and/or analysis, you will learn how to properly use and apply Neo-UDSEWER.  This software package will help you size and analyze the hydraulic performance of storm sewers of different shapes. This is a very sophisticated program that helps the user analyze existing and new sewers with positive or negative slopes under the following flow conditions: open channel, surcharged pipes, and pipes under pressure and calculates hydraulic and energy grade lines accounting for friction losses, bend losses, hydraulic jump losses, and manhole losses.   

The course will cover:

(1) Urban drainage System - Minor and Major systems,

(2) Rational Method and Design Rainfall statistics,

(3) Intro to UDSTREET and UDINLET spreadsheets,

(4) Street hydraulic capacity and reduction factors,

(5) Inlet hydraulics and clogging factors,

(6) Grate inlets and Curb-opening inlets on a grade and in a sump,

(7) Combo inlets and Slotted inlets,

(8) Storm sewer system design and analysis,

(9) Intro to Neo-UDSEWER software, (10) Model sewer system design constraints,

(10) Storm sewer pipe sizing,

(11) Storm sewer flow friction and manhole losses

(12) Hydraulic and Energy Grade Lines, and

(13) Excavated earth volumes.

Instructors

James C.Y. Guo, PhD and P.E. is a professor at Univ. of Colorado at Denver. He has been teaching engineering hydrology and hydraulics since 1982, is active in applied research and is a practicing engineer. His research work has been referenced in number of City and County drainage manuals in United States and brings to the class cutting edge technology in street hydraulics and storm sewer design.
 

Ken MacKenzie, P.E. is a Senior Project Engineer at Urban Drainage & Flood Control District. He is the author of the UDINLET and UDSREET spreadsheet models.  He has much experience in street drainage design and implementation of such projects and has successfully thought this class with Dr. Guo over the last two years.
