Question: a ) If the design rainfall intensity is given by I = 1 2 0 T 0 . 1 7 5 T d + 2

a) If the design rainfall intensity is given by I=120T0.175Td+27, then compute the design discharge for the 10-year storm event using the Rational Method where the runoff coefficient, C, has been determined to be 0.6 and the catchment area is 174,240ft2. Inlet time Td has been determined to be 10min.
b) Determine the required diameter of a drainage pipe )=(0.015 to convey the design discharge from part a if the upstream invert elevation is 498.43 and the downstream invert elevation is 495.55. The length of the pipe needed is 450ft.
a ) If the design rainfall intensity is given by
