72906 - Laboratory of Urban Hydraulic Systems M

Academic Year 2015/2016

  • Teaching Mode: In-person learning (entirely or partially)
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Civil Engineering (cod. 0930)

Learning outcomes

With the achievement of university formative credits, the student develops two projects related to the design of a water distribution network and an urban drainage system.

Course contents

In the course will be analyzed freeware calculation tools used for the modelling and design of urban hydraulic systems.

Design of a water distribution system.
Through the use of EPANET software  the student is guided in the design of a water distribution system of an urban area. Will be analyzed aspects of the water quality and water losses. The project will be accompanied by a technical report, drawings (plans, sections and construction details) and costs analysis.

Design of a sewer system.
Through the use of SWMM software the student is guided in the design of a sewer system of an urban area. Will be analyzed and designed structure like detention ponds, first foul tanks and pumping stations. The project will be accompanied by a technical report, drawings (plans, sections and construction details) and costs analysis.
