Additional Exercise;
In this exercise, you began by learning the role that gravity pipe network design plays in a land development project. You then studied and practiced two methods for creating new gravity networks: by object and by layout. With the networks in place, you then practiced four different editing methods to improve your pipe network design.Open the drawing named Pipe Networks Beyond.dwg located in the Chapter 14 class data folder.
This drawing contains the pipe networks you’ve created up to this point, along with red circles indicating additional inlet locations that are needed for the stormwater management design. Create inlets at these locations and pipes that connect them according to the following design parameters:
- All pipes should lead to the south inlet at Jordan Court station 17+17.34 (0+523.445).
- A 36" (900mm) pipe should be drawn from the south inlet at station 17+17.34 (0+523.445) through the drainage easement to an end wall somewhere within the stormwater treatment area hatched in green.
- The pipes farthest upstream should be 15" (400mm) in diameter and increase gradually as the network progresses downstream.
- In places where the storm pipes are outside the right-of-way, manholes should be provided to bend the path of the storm pipes to keep them within the right-of-way.
- Draw pipes and structures in the profile views of the roads that they fall within. Structures near intersections may appear in two profile views.
