Sizing of Dry Sediment Basin MASMA 2000

The catchment area for the development = 9.650 hectares

The following assumptions are made for the sizing of the basin :

● adopted basin type is an earth embankment and perforated outlet

● most of the surface soil type is sandy loam

● overland sheet flow to the basin will pass over segment with bare-soil type

Segment A : LA = 90 m & SA = 4.900 %

Segment B : LB = 73 m & SB = 7.700 %

● as the construction period will be less than 2 years, the design storm is 3 month ARI

Step (1) : Determine overland flow time of concentration tc (minutes)

Overland flow time to

From Equation 14.1, to = 107 n L0.333 Vol. 5

S0.2 Pg. 14-2

From Equation 14.2(a), ttotal = tA(LA) + tB(LA + LB) – tB(LA)

For segment A; n = 0.02 (from Table 14.2 for bare clay-loam)

tA(LA) = 107 x 0.02 x 90 0.333

= 7.0 minutes
0.2
4.900

For segment B; n = 0.02 (from Table 14.2 for bare clay-loam)

tA(LA + LB) = 107 x 0.02 x 163 0.333

= 7.8 minutes
0.2
7.700

tB(LA) = 107 x 0.02 x 90 0.333

= 6.4 minutes

7.700

ttotal = 6.96846805 + 7.758435 - 6.3661722 = 8.4 minutes

Adopted time of concentration tc = 10 minutes

Step (2) : Sizing of sediment basin

From Table 39.4, the predominant soil type is categorized as type C

From Table 39.5 for a 3 month ARI, the required surface area is 333 m²/ha and the MASMA 2000
required total volume is 400 m³/ha Vol.15
Pg. 39-16
The surface area required for the site = 333 x 9.65 = 3213 m²

(Note : this is the average surface area for the settling zone volume, i.e. at mid-depth)

The total basin volume required for the site = 400 x 9.65 = 3860 m³

(a) Settling Zone :

From Table 39.5, the required settling zone V1 = 1930.00 m³ (half the total volume) and the Vol.15
settling zone depth Y1 = 0.6 m Pg. 39-17

Try a settling zone average width W1 = 9.0 m

Required settling zone average length L1 = V1 = 357.4 m, say 20 m

W1 x Y1

Average surface area 9 x 20 = 180 m² < 3213 m² Unacceptable

Check settling zone dimensions (see page 39-16) :

L1 ratio = 20 = 33.3 < 200 Ok

Y1 0.6

L1 ratio = 20 = 2.22 >= 2 Ok

W1 9

(b) Sediment Storage Zone :

The required sediment storage zone volume is half the total volume, V2 = 1930.00 m³

For a side slope Z = 2 (H) : 1 (V) the dimensions at the top of the sediment storage zone are
H V
W2 = W1 – 2 x (d1/2) x Z = 9 - 2 x( 0.3 X ( 2 / 1 ) = 7.80 m
H V
L2 = L1 – 2 x (d1/2) x Z = 20 - 2 x( 0.3 X ( 2 / 1 ) = 18.80 m

The required depth for the sediment storage zone, which must be at least 0.3 m,
can be calculated from the following relationship,

V2 = Z2 (Y2)3 – Z (Y2)2 (W2 + L2) + Y2 (W2L2)

which gives,

1930 = 4 (Y2)3 - 53.2 (Y2)2 + 146.6 (Y2)

Use trial and error to find Y2 ,

For Y2 = 0.40 m, V2 = 50 m³

For Y2 = 0.50 m, V2 = 61 m³

For Y2 = 0.65 m, V2 = 74 m³ Y2 > 0.3 Ok

V2 < 1930 Unacceptable

(c) Overall Basin Dimensions : MASMA 2000

At top water level : WTWL = W1 + 2 x Z x (Y1/2) = 10.2 m say, 11 m

LTWL = L1 + 2 x Z x (Y1/2) = 21.2 m say, 22 m

Base : WB = W1 - 2 x Z x (Y1/2 +Y2) = 5.2 m say, 6 m

LB = L1 - 2 x Z x (Y1/2 +Y2) = 16.2 m say, 17 m

Depth : Settling Zone, Y1 = 0.6 m

Sediment Storage Zone, Y2 = 0.65 m

Side Slope Z = 2 (H) : 1 (V)

Step (3) : Sizing of outlet pipe [refer Section 39.7.6 (c)]

Provide :- Outlet riser 450mm diameter perforated m.s. Pipe

:- Outlet pipe conduit 300mm diameter concrete pipe

The riser pipe is to be provided with sufficient small orifice openings to ensure that the basin
will completely drain within 24 hours after filling

An estimate of the total area of orifice openings required can be obtained by rearranging
Equation 19.5 and using the average surface area and total depth of the basin, Vol. 7
Pg. 19-12
Average surface area, Aav ( 11 x 22 ) + ( 6 x 17 ) = 172 m²
2

Orifice area, Atotal = 2 Aav.Y1/2 Vol 7

t.Cd.(2g)1/2 Pg 19-11

2 x 172 x ( 1.25 ) 1/2

= 0.0017 m²
24 x 60 x 60 x 0.6 x ( 2 x 9.81) 1/2

Using an orifice size of 20 mm the area of each orifice is Ao = 0.314 x 10-3 m²

Total number of orifices required = 0.0017 = 5

0.314 x 10-3

At height increments of 200 starting at the bottom of the pipe, put 5 rows of 2 x 20 mm
orifices evenly spaced around the pipe.

Horizontal Spacing = 225 mm

Step (4) : Sizing of emergency spillway MASMA 2000

The emergency spillway must be designed for a 10 year ARI flood [see Section 39.7.6(c)]
The silt level must be set a minimum 300mm above the basin top water level. The following
assumptions are made :

● Assume riser pipe flow is orifice flow through the top of the pipe only

● Riser pipe head is 300mm, i.e. the height between the top of the pipe and the
spillway crest level.

Qspillway = Q10 - Qriser

Vol.5
From Equation 14.7, Pg. 14-4

Q10 = C.10I20.A
360

The 10 year ARI rainfall intensity for Selangor is derived from Equation 13.3 and
Table 13.3A1, for a 10 minute duration.

t 10 minutes

a 5.5074
b -0.1637
c -0.0116
d -0.0053

ln ( R I t ) = a + b ln(t) + c ( ln(t) ) 2 + d ( ln (t) ) 3 Vol. 4

ln ( 10 I 20 ) = 5.5074 + -0.37693 + -0.0615 + -0.0647 Pg. 13-11
ln ( 10 I 20 ) = 5.00426
10
I 20 = 149.047 mm/hr

Therefore, 10I20 = 149 mm/hr

Runoff Coefficient C = 0.62 Category 4 from Design Chart 14.3

From Equation 14.7,

Q10 = C.10I20.A = 0.62 x 149 x 9.65 = 2.48 m³/s

360 360

From Equation 20.2 for orifice flow

Cd = 0.6
Do = 0.02 m
Ao = PI x Do 2 / 4 = 0.00031416
Ho = 0.3 m
g = 9.81 m

Qriser = CdAo(2gHo)1/2 = 0.6 x 0.0003142 x 2 x 9.81 x 0.3 Vol.

Pg. 20-6
= 0.00046 m³/s

Therefore, allowing for the riser pipe flow, the required spillway capacity is :

Qspillway = 2.48 - 0.00 = 2.48 m³/s

From Equation 20.9, Qspillway = Csp B Hp1.5 Vol. 7

trial dimension: Pg. 20-11

B 2.00 m
Hp 0.30 m

Qspillway = 1.58 x 2.00 x 0.30 1.5

Pg. 20-21

Therefore, the total basin depth including spillway is,

0.6 + 0.65 + 0.3 + 0.30 = 1.85 m
