GEOPAK D RAINAGE
GEOPAK Drainage is a comprehensive system for designing and analyzing storm drain systems and culverts with a workflow following conventional design processes. GEOPAK Drainage will design the surface collection system and the conveyance system, while being a true interactive design tool. The software can work with GEOPAK Road or without and works within the Microstation graphical environment. It allows the designer to see the design as it is being created. GEOPAK Drainage can do both the hydrologic and hydraulic design, as well as the plan production graphics. GEOPAK Drainage will incorporate the Road information that the designer may already have, such as alignments, profiles, TINs, etc., directly into the drainage design. Any changes to the road design can be reflected in the drainage design. This allows for ease of modifications whether to the road or drainage design. As an inlet is placed or moved, the station, offset, and elevation is seen at that moment. GEOPAK Drainage uses recommended methodologies from FHWA and AASHTO. All of the methodologies that the software uses are explained in the Technical Reference section of the Help Files. For questions about GEOPAK Drainage, including a detailed discussion of the specific hydraulic algorithms and formulas used go to the Help Files. From the Microstation pull-downs, Applications > GEOPAK > Drainage > Help, or on most workstations, press the F1 key on the standard keyboard, while having an active dialog box.
Note: Picture representations presented in this manual are for example only and may not represent how every project should be set up. This manual is to demonstrate the GEOPAK Drainage software and not to teach hydraulics and hydrology.

The GEOPAK Drainage tools can be accessed from the Drainage pull-down, from the Drainage menu bar, or from the Drainage Tool Box, which can be invoked from Tool Boxes > Main. All Drainage tools are located in all three locations. The Main Drainage Tool Box can be resized, docked, or customized.
Main Drainage Tool Box GEOPAK Drainage ALWAYS STARTS in an Untitled project, as seen below.
Every time GEOPAK Drainage is activated, it will come up Untitled, even if a User had previously created or opened a Drainage Project.

From the Main Drainage Tool Palette Type in the name of the new Project, this will create the GEOPAK Drainage File (*.gdf) in the selected directory location.
After a Project has been created, the Microstation header will show the new Project name instead of Untitled.
Remember, if GEOPAK Drainage is closed, when Drainage is re-activated, a project will have to be opened.

The Drainage Library contains the standards and data that can be used on all projects and by all designers. Each Drainage Project simply accesses the Drainage Library. The standard Drainage Library is TxDOT_V8i.dlb, and is located at C:\Engapps\TXDOTGPK\Drainage. Some Districts or offices have their own drainage libraries. From the Microstation pull-down: Drainage > Project > Drainage Library From the Drainage Menu Bar: Project > Drainage Library
TxDOT_V8i.dlb The Drainage Library has five tabs representing the categories supported; Rainfall, Land Use, Nodes, Links, and Spread Section.

Typical for GEOPAK Drainage are the dialog buttons on the side panel. For the Drainage Library, they are, from top to bottom, Add Library Item, Modify Library Item, Cut Library Item, Copy Library Item, and Report Library Item.
Rainfall: Under the Rainfall tab are the rainfall data sources that can be used on the Drainage Projects. GEOPAK Drainage supports intensity duration frequency tables, SCS methods, or preset intensity duration equation formats. Some of these are preset for the designer, such as the Rational Method intensity equations for all counties in the state of Texas; others can be imported by the designer, if so desired.

The Land Use is an option that the designer has, it is not required. There is a Land Use Boundary Tool that will help the designer create or convert Microstation elements to the correct symbology. The elements must be Microstation Shapes.
From the Microstation pull-down: Drainage > Component > Land Uses From the Drainage Menu Bar: Component > Land Uses From the Main Drainage Tool Palette: Land Uses Nodes: Under the Nodes tab are the standard configurations for Curb Inlets, Grates, Junctions, Slotted Drains, Outlets, Headwalls, and Other Nodes. For each Node are stored description, plan view cell, and dimensional information. The software uses this for its calculations. Designers can create their own Nodes; this will be explained in a later chapter.

Links: Under the Links tab are the standard configurations for pipes and boxes. Each Link is categorized by Shape, Material, and Type. The Shapes available are Arch, Box, Circular, Ellipse, and Pipe-Arch. The Materials available are Aluminum, Concrete, Plastic, and Steel. The Type is the corrugations. Not all of these items are typical for TxDOT projects. Designers can create their own Links.

Spread Section: Under the Spread Section tab are example cross sections that can be used on Drainage Projects. Having a Spread Section stored in the Drainage Library is an option and is not required, but it allows the user the flexibility to recall the same section for repetitive placement. Project specific sections can be added with Width, % Slope, and Mannings N required. A picture of a Spread Section is in the Help Files under, Command Reference > Component > Nodes > Spread Criteria > Optional Spread.

2.1 Class Project Setup
Introduction
P ROJECT P REFERENCES
The Project Preferences control the computational and graphical options of the Drainage project. A wide variety of Preferences enable the designer to set project specific options, or an office can set parameters to maintain standards. The Preferences are a one time set up, but can be changed at any time if a system needs to be redesigned or a different set of preferences need to be analyzed. From the Microstation pull-down: Drainage > Project > Preferences From the Drainage Menu Bar: Project > Preferences
Options are listed on the left side of the dialog box, while on the right side are the parameters that go with the corresponding Option. The designer will navigate through the Options to set up the Project. A new feature in this version is the ability to Save the Preferences into a Drainage Preference File (.dpf) for later recall or to load into a different Project. A District or office may set

up a standard Drainage Preference File to use on all their Drainage projects. Also, under Drainage > Project > Export, is the ability to export out the Preferences into an ASCII file. For the remainder of this chapter, we will look at the different Options, but for a more detailed description, go to the Help files, located under the Microstation pull down at Applications > GEOPAK > Drainage > Help or the F1 key. As we look at the Preferences, we will also be setting up the Preferences for the first class project.
2.2 Units
Two options are supported, English and Metric. Mixed Units are not supported. It is either English or Metric. If GEOPAK Road is being used, it must use the same Units. The Units listed, Length, Depth, Discharge, etc, are for information only and can not be changed. Dimension is in feet, so a pipe diameter is in feet and not inches. Example: a 24 pipe is a 2 pipe.

Project Components
Drainage Library File (DLB): This is the Drainage Library File that will be used on the Project. It can be located in the project working directory or at a central server location for all to access. The default setting is the Bentley Drainage Library. For this class, we will use C:\Engapps\TXDOTGPK\Drainage\TxDOT_V8i.dlb. GPK Job Number: This is the GEOPAK Road job number. The GPK is a binary file where the GEOPAK Road COGO is stored. This is optional for Drainage. It is required only if Road information is to be used. If a Road Project is attached, the Select button will locate the job number. The select button is the magnifying glass icon. If a Road Project is not attached, the Working Directory may need to be located under the User Preference tab. For this class, we will use GPK Job Number 97. User Preferences: This is the User Preferences for the GEOPAK Road Project. Drainage Cell Library: This is the cell library that contains the Microstation cells that are used for the Nodes in the Drainage Library File. The default setting is the Bentley Cell Library. For this class, we will use C:\Engapps\TXDOTGPK\Drainage\TxDOT_V8iDrain.cel.

Frequency Options
This Option establishes the frequency at which the discharge computations will be made on the project. Different year storm frequencies can be computed, but not simultaneously. So for each desired frequency, a Design or Analyze must be performed on the Network, and then the next desired frequency must be selected in the Preferences, and the same steps repeated. The Drainage Library used and location is shown at the top. This is the Drainage Library that is set in the Project Components. The Computation Frequency and Cumulative Frequency are from the Drainage Library and can only be modified in the Drainage Library. A Runoff Coefficient Peaking Factor can be applied to the runoff computations. For a more detailed explanation concerning Frequency Options, a User can go to the Help Files. From the Microstation pull-downs, Applications > GEOPAK > Drainage > Help, or on most workstations, highlight or make active the dialog box and press the F1 key on the standard keyboard.

Drainage Library (DLB): This is the Drainage Library used on the Project and location. The Drainage Library is set in the Project Components. Minimum Time of Concentration: Specified in minutes, this is the minimum used throughout the discharge computations. Accumulate Pipe Flow Time by: Three options are available to adjust the travel time through the pipes. Intensity Options: This allows for the use of the computed intensities from the Rainfall Parameters or for a constant intensity, specified in in/hr or mm/hr, depending on the Project Units, to override the values from the Drainage Library. The Weight Time of Concentration, when toggled on, will prevent discharge from decreasing. Inlet Computation Only: If toggled on, this allows a constant intensity to override the values from the Drainage Library. It is specified in in/hr or mm/hr, depending on the Project Units.

Link names can also be given when links are created. Link Profile Options: A Design Optimization and an Elevation Option must be selected. The program develops a pipe profile envelope which represents the minimum soffit elevation and the maximum invert elevation for each link. This is derived from an evaluation of the constraints placed on the system. The User must select either Minimize Pipe Size or Minimize Depth of Cover to work within this pipe profile envelope. This is explained in detail in the GEOPAK Drainage Help Files. An Elevation Option of either at Hydraulic Center or at Actual Link End must be selected. Calculations, such as slopes and lengths are based on this selection. Link Design Options: One of four options must be selected, although this may be changed later in the design process. These are explained in detail in the GEOPAK Drainage Help Files. Link Slope Decimal allows for the selection of the number of decimal places reported for most link slopes.

3.1 Nodes and areas
Introduction
D RAINAGE D ESIGN
The workflow of designing a storm drain system in GEOPAK Drainage will follow a conventional design process. The Designer can place the inlet first and then the corresponding area or vice versa. The Designer could place numerous inlets first or numerous areas first, the workflow is up to the User. In this chapter we will place two inlets and calculate corresponding areas as a class. Then you will place several inlets and areas in an exercise. There is a one to one relationship between the Area and the Node. This means the Area ID or name MUST match the Node ID or name. An example: Drainage Area A1 MUST match Node A1.
Introduction to Nodes
A Node is a set point with a user defined location, such as an inlet, manhole, or outfall. The Nodes provide the connectivity for the drainage system. The Nodes are located within the Drainage Library and corresponding Cell Library. The Drainage Nodes Tool Palette is shown below.

Introduction to Network
N ETWORK
In GEOPAK Drainage, a Network is a system of interconnected Nodes and Links to a single Outlet. A Network can only have one Outlet, but a Project can have multiple Networks. The Network computations are the final calculation process in the Design or Analysis of a storm drain system. A Network has to be successfully built in order to complete the computations. Inlets and Drainage Areas can be computed independently of a Network, but Links are dependent on a Network for computations.

GEOPAK Drainage allows an ease in adjusting Link slopes as well as Invert and Soffit elevations. Under Link Configuration Conditions, Profile Conditions, three columns are available for adjustments: From Node, Slope, and To Node. Two of these three columns are needed to make adjustments. In an elevation column, only the Soffit or Invert need to be changed. An example could be to toggle on From Node Invert elevation and to change the elevation and toggle on Slope and adjust the slope. GEOPAK Drainage will adjust the To Node elevation when an Analyze is done on the Network. Another location where the Links can be adjusted, in general terms, is the Minimum and Maximum Depths under Node Configuration Elevations.

GEOPAK Drainage has two tools that allow for the renaming or renumbering of Drainage Nodes. The Renumber Nodes tool allows the user to Renumber and/or Rename selected Nodes. The Rename Drainage Node tool is a separate tool used for one Node at a time.

Although not a modification, a common need for a TxDOT designer is to add off-site drainage to a project. GEOPAK Drainage allows for this under Node Configuration Discharge Options. The user can toggle on and select either Link Base Flow Area or Link Base Flow Discharge. With Link Base Flow Area, a drainage area is selected and with Link Base Flow Discharge, a Q value is keyed in.

10.1 Introduction
The GEOPAK Drainage Labeler allows the designer to create and place plan view labels on the drawing file. The Drainage Labeler is an interactive tool which makes repetitive placement of labels simple and fast. Once a label is created, the format can be saved for future use on other projects or by other designers. The Labeler can be used on Drainage Areas, Inlets, Nodes, and Links. It allows for computed information from the project and for user defined information. The Labeler allows the use of the keyboard to supplement input information. If a user is familiar with GEOPAK Road Labelers, such as the Plan Labeler, Profile Labeler, or Cross Section Labeler, the Drainage Labeler works similarly.

N ODE C REATION
GEOPAK Drainage allows the user the flexibility of creating Nodes. These can be project specific Nodes or Nodes that are the standard for an office or District, but are not currently in the Drainage Library. Once these Nodes are created and placed in the Drainage Library, they can be used on future projects and by other users. A cell has to be used with the Node item; it can be a new creation or an existing cell. A Node item cell has to be created in a particular way for the program to recognize its functions. This will be demonstrated in the following class exercise. For more information on Node Cells, go to the GEOPAK Drainage Help Files.

13 DTM TOOLS
13.1 Introduction
GEOPAK Drainage, using the Digital Terrain Modeling functionality of GEOPAK Road, gives the user numerous tools to assist in the design process. The DTM Tools use the TIN file, or triangulation file. The TIN file can come from several different sources and is common on most TxDOT projects. If a TIN file is needed, one suitable for some of the drainage functions can be obtained, and this will be demonstrated later in this chapter. The user may already be familiar with these tools and their use. Some of the tools are taught in the GEOPAK I class. The tools are presented here as a refresher and to remind the user of their functions. Not all of the tools will be demonstrated here or in the class room setting. The Help Files give a good description of each tool.

The Height/Slope Tool is a multi-purpose tool for obtaining information from the TIN file. The information can simply be viewed when Display Only is toggled, or placed in the design file when Display Only is not toggled on. With the Mode set to Elevation, as the cursor is moved over the TIN file, the plan coordinates, elevation, and slope are given and if toggled on, the Contour, Triangle, and Flow Arrow can be displayed. The symbology for these Options can be set to the Users preference. With the Mode set to Slope, the User can obtain a Triangle Slope, if toggled on, by simply moving the cursor across the TIN file after selecting Start. To obtain a Slope for a desired length, toggle Slope between points, select Start and the starting point with the cursor and drag the cursor to the second location. Additional information, Distance and Delta Elevation, can be obtained with this selection. The Text symbology can be set to the Users preference as well as the Display unit, such as percent or run/rise. Take time to become familiar with this versatile tool, the Height/Slope Tool.

Introduction
The DTM Drainage Tools are actually twelve different tools that allow the designer to analyze and evaluate the drainage TIN file. These tools can be very useful in the drainage design process. Some of these tools will be demonstrated here, but for a good description of each tool go to the Help Files, or press the F1 key on a standard keyboard. There are several common fields typical to most of the tools. The TIN file is the binary triangulation file that the selected tool will analyze or evaluate. This file can be located by using the magnifying glass select button and navigating to the file. Display Only, when toggled on, allows the user to view elements without actually having the elements drawn in the design file. With Display Only toggled on, the elements displayed will be erased when the screen is refreshed or when a new view command is executed. Load Within Fence, when toggled on, allows the user the flexibility of only drawing or displaying the element within a Microstation fence that has been placed by the user. Set Graphic Group, when toggled on, will place all drawn elements in a single graphic group, allowing the user the ability to manipulate all the elements as one. The Apply button when pressed begins the selected process.

Minimum Low Point Depth, set in feet, allows the user the ability to set a depth that will be used as the minimum. This allows for the program to pass over small indentations or small dips in the TIN and pass to the next low point. This allows for the removal of what might be considered a false flat. The user may set different depths and see if there are any significant differences. Refine Watershed, when toggled on, processes the TIN file for more precise flow boundaries within the triangles. Watersheds allow the user to set the Microstation symbology that the watershed shapes will be drawn with. If the Microstation fill attribute is active, than the shapes will have different fill colors. Zero Slope Areas, when toggled on, will show, with the selected symbology, an outline of the zero slope triangles. Void Areas, when toggled on, will show, with the selected symbology, an outline of any voids.

14.1 Introduction
Culvert, within GEOPAK Drainage, is a versatile tool for the design and analysis of culvert structures. The computations use the standard methods in HY8 and FHWA. The methods and formulas used are given in the Technical Reference section of the Help Files. The workflow of the Culvert dialog box is the same as other GEOPAK applications. The user will navigate through five envelopes, Parameters, Configurations, Headwall Location, Overtopping, and Computations. The structures available for use in Culvert are from the Drainage Library under Links. These could be RCP, CMP, arch pipes, ellipse pipes, or box structures. The Computations available are Culvert, Tailwater, and Overtopping. The results can be outputted to an ASCII file to be stored or print a hard copy. From the Microstation pull-down: Drainage > Component > Culvert From the Drainage Menu Bar: Component > Culvert

Access GEOPAK and attach the Road Project, culv1. The job118.gpk is in the folder C:\Engdata\v8i_drainageclass\v8i_culv1.
Step 3
Step 4
Since a new Drainage Project has been created, the Project Preferences will need to be set or a Drainage Preference File, .dpf, will need to be attached. Since in this exercise only a drainage discharge will be calculated and a culvert designed, the Preferences will reflect that. Only the minimum will be set. Open Drainage > Project > Preferences.

The Save Options can also be left at the default settings, but the user may choose to toggle on Automatic Backup.
Step 15
In the upper left, select Save, and create a Drainage Preference File. Select OK and Yes to store the changes to the Preferences.
Step 16
Culvert will require discharge information and for this exercise GEOPAK Drainage will be used to obtain discharge for a 10 year, 50 year and 100 year, using the Rational Method. Select Add Drainage Area or Drainage > Component > Area > Add and select OK at the default setting of 1. This will open the Drainage Area Definition dialog box with an Area ID of 1.
Step 17
For the Drainage Area, use the Select Shape and identify and accept the dark blue Microstation shape representing the drainage area. This will give a value in acreage. The shape will change symbology based on the symbology set in the Preferences.
Step 18
Step 19
To obtain a Time of Conc., the Compute TC tool will be used. Select Compute TC. Expand the dialog box by using the > in the lower right corner.

Step 31
Discharge values calculated with GEOPAK Drainage can not be brought directly into Culvert. The discharge values must be keyedin by the user. At the Parameters folder, under Discharge, the only option is User Supplied. A discharge value is keyed-in at the bottom key-in field and then the Add List Item button is selected, the yellow star burst. This adds the discharge value into the larger field. Enter the three discharge values calculated previously in this exercise. The discharge value that the designer wants to use for the Culvert design must be designated with an X. This is done by highlighting the desired value and selecting the Select Discharge button. This is the light bulb symbol or by double clicking the desired value. Culvert will design based on the selected discharge and will do an analysis of the remaining discharge values.

Step 39
Navigate next to the Configuration tab. This is where the designer selects the type of structure to use. The designer can select the size of the structure or have GEOPAK design a structure size. The options for the types and sizes of structures come from the Drainage Library. Select Circular for Shape and Concrete for Material.
Step 40
For the Culvert Size, set to Design Size and enter the parameters that the program will use to design the structure size. The road profiles, shown in the plan view design file, can be used to help determine these parameters. Set Allowable Headwater to 5, set Maximum Rise to 4, and set Minimum rise to 2.
Step 41
Select an Entrance Type. This will set the Entrance Ke value. (exercise continued next page)

Navigate next to the Headwall Location tab, leave the Type at Plan View, and select culv1.tin for the TIN File. In the design file zoom in to the proposed culvert location, approximate station 40+50.
Step 44
Notice that the Upstream Headwall is on the left side of the dialog box, while the Downstream Headwall is on the right. For Reference Chain, select RDWY and for the Library Item, select Headwall. If the program does not accept either of these, navigate back one folder and then come back to the Headwall Location folder. An example of this would be another Library Item is selected, but the cell representation does not match what was selected.

Step 46
If the designer wants to set the headwalls to a set station and offset, these can be keyed-in, toggled on and the Keyin Place selected. It is normally a good workflow to use Dynamic Place before Keyin Place. This allows the program to properly identify the Chain. View the Invert Elevations and confirm that the downstream elevation is lower than the upstream. The downstream must be lower than upstream.
