LSCE2518

This course develops an understanding of fluid mechanics and it's practical applications. The focus will be on fluid flow characteristics of gravity sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems. Students will study stormwater hydrology, stormwater management, and various wetland issues. Students will design storm sewer systems including piping inlet structures, stormwater facilities, stormwater treatment pond, and prepare plan and profiles documents. Student Learning Outcomes

• Assess various hydrology methods used to estimate watershed runoff.
• Calculate pipe flow, open channel flow geometry, and flow quantities.
• Design stormwater collection system.
• Create storm sewer plan and profile drawings, and related appurtenance details.
• Design a stormwater treatment pond based on site runoff.
• Create sanitary sewer and watermain plan and profile drawings.
• Interpret construction specifications.
