Gutter Design Calculations: Try Size Width

This document contains calculations to design the gutter and drainage system for a roof measuring 12m by 8m. It determines that a gutter size of 275mm by 300mm would be sufficient to handle the expected rainfall discharge of 4 liters per second. It also sizes the downspouts and header pipes based on the roof area, with the largest header needing to be 450mm in diameter to accommodate drainage from a 15m by 72m section of roof.

DOWNSPOUT AREA = 17662.5 mm2 DIA 150 mm size of pipe

GUTTER DEPTH 250 x WIDTH 300 IS SUFFICIENT. ADD 25mm FREEBOARD.

SIZE SELECTED = 275 x 300 mm.

Roof run governs:


DS = 19(a)(28/13)*(m)(16/13)*(33450/CWI)(10/13)
= 63.18 m
Downspout governs:
DS = 44 A/CWI
= 43.18 m
