ROOF RAIN WATER GUTTER & DOWN TAKE PIPE DESIGN CALCULATION

CAR & DOOR FACTORY

ROOF GUTTER DESIGN

Maximum rain fall intensity = 150 mm / hour
Roof width = 56 + 0.5 = 56.5 M
Down take pipes spacing = 10 m C/C
Roof drainage area to be handled by gutter to = 56.5 X 5
discharge in to the down take pipe = 282.5 sq.m
Add: 10% area for any cross flow in gutter = 28.25 sq.m
310.75 sq.m
Say 311 sq.m.
Maximum water flow to be handled by the = 311 X 0.15 = 46.65 cum / hour.
Gutter = 0.013 cum / second
Provide 400 mm wide x 250 mm deep gutter 400 mm x 250 mm

250
150

400
Free board = 100 mm
Effective water flow area of gutter = 0.4 X 0.15 = 0.06 sq.m

Provide a gradient of 1 in 600

Velocity of flow as per mannings formula
Velocity of flow at (150 mm depth) full flow = 1/n X R 2/3 X S 1/2
= 1 / 0.013 X (0.06 / 0.7) 2/3 X (1 / 600) 1/2
= 1 / 0.013 X 0.19 X 0.0408 = 0.59 m / sec.
Say 0.5 m / sec.
Therefore water carrying capacity of gutter =AXV
= 0.06 X 0.5 = 0.03 cum / second.
Gutter capacity required, Therefore Safe 0.013 cum / second.

Down take pipe

1) Rain fall intensity 150 mm / hour
2) Down take pipe spacing 10 m C/C
3) Roof width 56 + 0.5 = 56.5 M
Therefore, storm water drainage area (roof = 56.5 X 10 = 565 Sq.m
area) for each down take pipe
As per NBC formula RA = 0.084 x d 5/2 / I
250 mm dia pipe will drain = 553 sq.m of roof drainage area
260 mm dia pipe will drain = 610 sq.m of roof drainage area
OR
2 Nos. 200 mm dia pipe 633 sq.m. of roof drainage area
