Course Objectives
To provide senior undergraduate students in environmental and civil
engineering experience in the application of hydraulics and human needs
and demands in the design of water distribution systems and wastewater
collection systems. Extensive use is made of commercially or otherwise
available software packages to facilitate consideration of various
options and to enhance computational capabilities. Project management,
report writing, and oral presentations are integrated in the design
projects.
Topics Covered
Water distribution systems: demands, pipe flow, networks, pumps,
appurtenances, pipe materials, modeling of distribution systems, design
problem considerations (22.5 hours)
Wastewater collection systems: pipe flow, inflows,
appurtenances, installation, pipe materials, modeling of collection
systems, design problem considerations (22.5 hours)
Class/Laboratory Schedule
Two 75 minute lecture/laboratory sessions per week (normal semesters).
Two 225 minute lecture/laboratory sessions per week for 6 weeks in summer.
Computer Applications
WaterCAD and SewerCAD
Laboratory projects
None
