    Design of Septic Tank

    The main function of a septic tank is to liquefy and precipitate solid waste

    purifying odorous materials. The proponents determined the size of the septic tank based

    on Plumbing Design and Estimate by Max B. Fajardo. To determine the size of septic

    tank the computations were presented as follows:

    Computation of Size of Septic Tank

    I. For school, commercial and industrial establishments, the volume of the septic

    tank should not be less than 0.057 cubic meter nor more than 0.086 cubic meter

    per person.

    II. Approximate occupant of Proposed Three-Storey Parking Facility

    V= 350 persons’ x 0.057m³/person = 19.95 m³


    V= L x W x H
    19.95 m3 = 2W x W x 2m
    W= 2.2 m say 2.2 m
    L = 2 (2.2m) = 4.4 m say 4.4 m
    Chamber Sizing
    By design, the length of the chamber is as follows:
    Length of Digestion Chamber = 100% of 4.4 m = 4.4 m
    Length of 1st Leaching Chamber = 50% of 4.4 m = 2.2 m
    Length of 2nd Leaching Chamber = 50% of 4.4 m = 2.2 m
    Total length of septic tank = 8.8 m
    Specify Dimensions: 8.8 m x 2.2 m x 2.0 m

    Figure 31. Section and Details of Septic Tank of Three Storey Parking Facility
    Shown in Figure 31 is the section and details of septic tank of the three storey

    parking facility. The digestive chamber has a calculated width of 4.4 m and 1st and 2nd

    leaching chamber both having 2.2 m with a total width of 8.8 m. Estimated with

    reinforcement details of wall with 10 mm diameter vertical and horizontal rebars spaced

    at 600 mm on 5 inches’ thick concrete hollow blocks interior and exterior and a thickness

    of 100 mm floor slab with 10 mm diameter rebars spaced at 300 mm.

    Design of Drainage Canal

    The value of discharge will be used in the Manning’s Equation for the

    computation of the channel section. Design discharge calculation will be made by using

    rational formula:

    Q p=Ci A c

    Where:

    Q p- design discharge in cu meter. Per second (m3/s)

    C – runoff coefficient

    I – rainfall intensity in m/s.

    A – catchment area in square meters

    According to Design Guidelines, Criteria & Standards Volume 3 (2015), Runoff

    coefficient © is the least precise variable of the Rational Formula implying the fixed ratio

    of peak runoff rate to rainfall rate for the catchment area. Table 20 provides the values of

    runoff coefficient for each land use.

    Table 20
    Values of “C” for Use in Rational Formula
    Land Use Value
    Residential Area – Densely built 0.50-0.75
    Residential Area – Not densely built 0.30-0.55
    City Business District 0.70-0.95
    Light Industrial Areas 0.50-0.80
    Parks, Playgrounds, Cemeteries,
    0.20-0.30
    unpaved open spaces and vacant lots
    Concrete or Asphalt Pavement 0.90-1.00
    Gravel Surfaced Road and Shoulder 0.30-0.60
    Heavy Industrial Areas 0.60-0.90
    Rocky Surface 0.70-0.90

    Bare Clay Surface (faces of slips, etc.) 0.70-0.90


    Forested Land (sandy to clay) 0.30-0.50
    Flattish Cultivated Areas (not flooded) /
    0.30-0.50
    Farmland
    Steep or Rolling Grassed Areas / Steep
    0.50-0.70
    gullies not heavily timbered
    Flooded or Wet Paddies 0.70-0.80
    Source: DPWH Design Guidelines Criteria and Standards Vol.III

    The Table 8 shows the possible values of runoff coefficient for specific land use.

    The classification of land use of public market and parking facilities in Sto. Tomas City,

    Batangas is city business district. The value will be use range from 0.70 to 0.95 for the

    computation of discharge in the area.

    In getting the required section for the open canal to be used, the equation is:
    2 1
    1
    V = R 3 S2
    n
    Where:
    V- Velocity of flow in m/s
    n – Manning’s frictional factor
    S – Slope of the canal
    R – hydraulic radius
    AC
    R=
    P
    Ac – Area of the cross-section

    P – Wetted perimeter

    The Table 21 provides the values of the roughness coefficient (n) depending on

    the material that will be used in designing the drainage.

    Table 21
    Manning’s Roughness Coefficient
    *For man-made channels and ditches Roughness Coefficient
    Earth, straight & uniform 0.020-0.025
    Earth bottom, rubble sides / riprap 0.030-0.035
    Grass covered 0.035-0.050
    Dredged 0.028-0.033
    Stone lined & rock cuts, smooth &uniform 0.030-0.035
    Stone lined & rock cuts, rough & irregular 0.040-0.045
    Lined - smooth concrete 0.014-0.018
    Lined - grouted riprap 0.020-0.030
    Winding sluggish canals 0.025-0.030
    Canals with rough stony beds, weeds on earth banks 0.030-0.040
    Source: DPWH Design Guidelines Criteria and Standards Vol.III

    Table 21 shows the roughness coefficient of the materials for drainage. For the

    Manning’s Roughness coefficient, the proponents use the value of 0.012 for lined smooth

    concrete

    Where velocity (v):


    Q
    V=
    A
    Where:

    Q = the area of the room (m2) times the maximum intensity (m/s2)

    A = area of open channel

    To get the Value of v, use the equation.


    Q = Av ; A=bh
    Where
    Q = discharge
    A = Assumed area of the box type drainage
    v = Velocity flow of storm water on open channel
    Q p- Discharge

    Qp = =
    360 360
    Q p =0.05957 m 3 /s
    Calculating the velocity of flow:
    Qc = A c V ; Ac = bd

    In getting the required section for the open canal to be used, the equation is:

    For roughness coefficient (n), use 0.012 for concrete cement finish, and the slope
