3. ABSORPTION AREA SIZING Note:Mound setbacks are measured from the Absorption Area. A. Calculate Absorption Width:Bed Width (2.B)X Mound Absorption Ratio (1.F)=Absorption Width 10.0 ft X 2.0 = 20.0 ft B. For slopes>1%,the Absorption Width is measured downhill from the upslope edge of the Bed. Calculate Downslope Absorption Width:Absorption Width (3.A)-Bed Width (2.B)=ft 20.0 ft - 10.0 ft = 10.0 ft 4. MOUND SIZING A. Calculate Clean Sand Lift: 3 feet minus Depth to Limiting Condition (1.C)=Clean Sand Lift (1 ft minimum) 3.0 ft - 1.7 ft = 1.3 ft Design Sand Lift(optional): 1.3 B. Calculate Upslope Height:Clean Sand Lift (4.A)+media depth +cover (1 ft.)=Upslope Height 1.3 ft + 1.0 ft + 1.0 ft= 3.3 ft 0.34;Slope Multiplier Table land 510916% 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 17 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Upslope 3:1 3.00 2.91 2.83 2.75 2,68 2.61 2.54 2.48 2.42 2.36 2.31 2.26 2.21 2.17 2.13 2.09 2.06 2,03 2.00 1.57 1.95 1.93 1.91 1.89 1.87 1.85 Berm Ratio 4:1 4.00 3.85 3.70 3,57 3.45 3.33 3.23 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 Land Slope% 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 117 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Downslope 3:1 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 1.04 7.47 7.93 8.42 8.93 9.46 10.02 Berm Ratio 4:1 4.00 4.17 4.35 4.54 4.76 5.00 5.26 5.56 5.88 6.25 6.67 7.14 7.69 8.29 8.92 9.57 10.24 10.94 13.67 12.42 13.19 13.99 14.82 15.67 16.54 37,44 Select Upslope Berm Multiplier C. (based on land slope): 2.86 (figure D-34) D. Calculate Upslope Berm Width:Multiplier (4.C)X Upslope Mound Height (4.B)=Upslope Berm Width 2.86 ft X 3.3 ft = 10.0 ft E. Calculate Drop in Elevation Under Bed:Bed Width (2.6) X Land Slope (1.D):100=Drop (ft) 10.0 ft X 7.0 % = 100= 0.70 ft F. Calculate Downslope Mound Height:Upslope Height (4.B)+Drop in Elevation (4.E)=Downslope Height 3.3 ft + 0.70 ft = 4.0 ft G Select Downslope Berm Multiplier (based on land slope): 6.67 (figure D-34) H. Calculate Downslope Berm Width:Multiplier (4.G)X Downslope Height (4.F)=Downslope Berm Width 6.67 x 4.0 ft = 26.0 ft I. Calculate Minimum Berm to Cover Absorption Area:Downslope Absorption Width (3.B or 3.C)+4 ft.=ft 10.0 ft + 4 ft = 14.0 ft J. Design Downslope Berm =greater of 4H and 41: 26.0 ft K. Select Endslope Berm Multiplier: 3.00 (usually 3.0 or 4.0) L. Calculate Endslope Berm (4.K)X Downslope Mound Height (4.F)=Endslope Berm Width 3.00 ft X 4.0 ft = 12.0 ft M.Calculate Mound Width:Upslope Berm Width(4.D)+Bed Width (2.B)+Downslope Berm Width (4.J)=ft 10.0 ft + 10.0 ft + 26.0 ft = 46.0 ft N. Calculate Mound Length: Endslope Berm Width (4.L)+Bed Length (2.C)+Endslope Berm Width (4.L)=ft 12.0 ft + 63.0 ft + 12.0 ft = 87.0 ft Comments:
