3. ABSORPTION AREA SIZING <br /> Note:Mound setbacks are measured from the Absorption Area. <br /> A. Calculate Absorption Width:Bed Width (2.6)X Mound Absorption Ratio (1.F)=Absorption Width <br /> 10.0 ft X 2.0 = 20.0 ft <br /> B. For slopes>1%,the Absorption Width is measured downhill from the upstope edge of the Bed. <br /> Calculate Downslope Absorption Width:Absorption Width (3.A)-Bed Width (2.6)=ft <br /> 20.0 ft - 10.0 ft = 10.0 ft <br /> 4. MOUND SIZING <br /> A. Calculate Clean Sand Lift: 3 feet minus Depth to Limiting Condition (1.C)=Clean Sand Lift (1 ft minimum) <br /> 3.0 ft - 1.2 ft = 1.8 ft Design Sand Lift(optional): 1.8 <br /> B. Calculate Upslope Height:Clean Sand Lift (4.A)+media depth (1 ft.)+cover (1 ft.)=Upslope Height <br /> 1.8 ft + 1.0 ft + 1.0 ft= 3.8 ft <br /> D-34:Slope Multiplier Table <br /> Land Slope% 0 I 2 3 4 5 ( 6 7 8 9 10 a 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 1 25 <br /> Upslope 13:1 3.00 2.9l2.83 2.75 2,68 2.6112.54 2.48 2.42 2.36 2.31 2.26 2.21 2.17 2.13 2.09 2.06 2.03 2.00 1.97. 1.95 1.93 1.91 1.89 1.87 1.85 <br /> 1 Berri Ratio 4:1 4.00 3.85 3.70 3.57 3.45 3.3313.23 3.12 3.03 2.94 2.86 2.78 2.70 2.62 2.55 2.48 2.41 2.35 2.29 2.23 2.18 2.13 2.08 2.03 1.98 1.93 <br /> 1 Land Slope% 0 i 2 3 4 5 1 6 7 8 9 j 10 11 12 13 1 14 15 16 IT 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 <br /> Downslope 13:1 3.00 3.09 3.19 3.30 3.41 3.53 3.66 3.80 3.95 4.11 4.29 4.48 4.69`4.95 5.24 5.55 5.88 6.24 6.63 7.04 7.47 7.93 8.42 8.93 9.46 10.02 <br /> B�wm Ratio 14:1 4.00 4.17 4.35 4.54 4.76 5.00 5.2615.56 5.88 6.25 6,67 7.14 7.698.29 8.92 9.57 10.24 10.94 11.67 12.42 13.19 13.99 14.82 15.67 16.54 17.44 <br /> C Select Upslope Berm Multiplier <br /> (based on land slope): 3.23 (figure D-34) <br /> D. Calculate Upslope Berm Width:Multiplier (4.C)X Upslope Mound Height (4.6)=Upslope Berm Width <br /> 3.23 ft X 3.8 ft = 13.0 ft <br /> E. Calculate Drop in Elevation Under Bed:Bed Width (2.B) X Land Slope (1.D)=100=Drop (ft) <br /> 10.0 ft x 7.0 % : 100= 0.70 ft <br /> F. Calculate Downslope Mound Height:Upslope Height (4.6)+Drop in Elevation (4.E)=Downslope Height <br /> 3.8 ft + 0.70 ft = 4.5 ft <br /> G Select Downslope Berm Multiplier <br /> (based on land slope): 5.56 (figure D-34) <br /> H. Calculate Downslope Berm Width:Multiplier (4.G)X Downslope Height (4.F)=Downslope Berm Width <br /> 5.56 x 4.5 ft = 25.0 ft <br /> I. Calculate Minimum Berm to Cover Absorption Area:Downslope Absorption Width (3.6 or 3.C)+4 ft. =ft <br /> 10.0 ft + 4 ft = 14.0 ft <br /> J. Design Downslope Berm =greater of 4H and 41: 25.0 ft <br /> K. Select Endslope Berm Multiplier: 3.00 (usually 3.0 or 4.0) <br /> L. Calculate Endslope Berm (4.K)X Downslope Mound Height (4.F)=Endslope Berm Width <br /> 3.00 ft X 4.5 ft = 14.0 ft <br /> M.Calculate Mound Width: Upslope Berm Width(4.D)+Bed Width (2.6)+Downslope Berm Width (4.J)=ft <br /> 13.0 ft + 10.0 ft + 25.0 ft = 48.0 ft <br /> N. Calculate Mound Length:Endslope Berm Width (4.L)+Bed Length (2.C)+Endslope Berm Width (4.L)=ft <br /> 14.0 ft + 63.0 ft + 14.0 ft = 91.0 ft <br /> Comments: <br />
