Identifying the Parts of a Home Drain System

As branch drains reach the end of their horizontal runs, they empty into soil stacks, or main drain stacks, which are large-diameter vertical pipes. Wastewater, along with the solid wastes that they carry, will now drop down into the main drain lines leading out to the city sewer system or septic field. Get price

If the restrictive layer is very shallow and the drains cannot be placed above it, a more detailed design procedure is required. If the depth to the restrictive layer is not known (deeper than the depth reported in the NRCS Soil Survey or deeper than any in-field sampling), an arbitrarily deep depth (for example 10 feet, as used in the NRCS Minnesota Drainage Guide) can be used to estimate a Get price

Settlement of embankments on soft clays — University of

However, in most soft clay applications the mobilized discharge capacity of high-quality prefabricated drains is comparable to the minimum discharge capacity required for negligible well resistance. AB - It is now possible to make reliable predictions of settlement of embankments on soft clays. Get price

CLAY AND CONCRETE MASONRY BANDING DETAILS

Similarly, clay masonry walls incorporate vertical and horizontal expansion joints to allow the clay to expand without distress. When both clay and concrete masonry units are used in the same masonry wythe, detailing is required to accommodate concrete masonry shrinkage and clay masonry expansion occurring side by side.

Landslide mitigation using horizontal drains, Pacific

Horizontal drains have been successfully used for a number of years in many areas for improving slope stability within landslide and/or landslide-prone areas. One such application of their use is discussed relative to a more than 66-m-high (220+ ft) 2:1 (26) southwest-facing cut slope located in the Pacific Palisades area of the city of Los Angeles, California.

Consolidation of a very soft clay with vertical drains

The paper analyses the performance of an embankment built on a very soft and extremely compressible organic clay where prefabricated vertical drains have been installed. Coefficients of horizontal consolidation, c h, obtained from settlement analyses took into account the smear resulting from the installation of the drains and also the vertical drainage. Get price

Correlation between horizontal and vertical permeability

2003/10/6The soil below is about 7m of clay with a cv (vertical) of 5E-04 cm2/sec. It does not seem realistic to use this value for wick drain design, hence the question. Bowles mentions that the horizontal permeability could be as high as 4 to 5 times the vertical (pg. 354 Get price

Modelling of Vertical Drains With Smear Installed in Soft

Vertical drains are very efficient when the clay layers contain lot of thin horizontal sand or silt lenses (micro layers) but if they are continuous in horizontal direction, vertical drains may not be effective because the rapid drainage o pore water may occur 33 Get price

CHAPTER 4 DRAINAGE DESIGN

The drains may be made of metal, concrete, clay, asbestos-cement, or bituminous fiber and should be 15 centimeters (6 inches) in diameter or larger. (2) Drilled drains . This system consists of perforated metal pipes placed in holes drilled into cut or fill slopes after construction. Get price

Design Guidelines for Horizontal Drains used for Slope Stabilization

• Horizontal drains are often used to lower water table elevations, or reduce pore pressures, which increases shear strength of the soil and improve stability. • Drain design is often ad hoc, with variable success. Objectives 1. Get price

Positioning design of horizontal drain in sandwiched clay

In practice, horizontal drains are often arranged at certain depth in dredged clays to accelerate the consolidation process in layered clay-sand reclamation subjected to surcharge preloading, and the layout of horizontal drain is usually determined based on a trial Get price

General approach to drainage systems

For drains of 825 millimetre diameter or more with less than 500 millimetre clearance, either a special base will be required or the sewer will need to be built into a concrete make-up section. Where the drain passes under an existing sewer, the design must provide support for the sewer both during construction and following backfilling of the trench. Get price

Phreatic Line and Horizontal Drainage in Earth Fill Dams

The upstream slopes of most of the earth dams in actual practice usually vary from 2.0 (horizontal):1 (vertical) to 4:1 and the downstream slopes are generally between 2:1 and 3:1 (USBR 2003).Free board depends on the height and action of waves. USBR (2003 Get price

CHAPTER 6

In clay and concrete pipes (usually 30 cm long and 5 - 10 cm in diameter) drainage water enters the pipes through the joints (see Fig. 101, top). Flexible plastic drains are much longer (up to 200 m) and the water enters through perforations distributed over the entire length of the pipe (see Fig. 101, bottom). Get price
