Abstract
This report provides catch basin inflows for five catch basin inlet configurations and four curb cut configurations at six grades ranging from 0.5 - 10.0% and cross-slopes of 0.0, 2.0 and 4.0%. Catch basin inflow rating curves were developed by testing a mock-up of a roadway at the Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre of the National Research Council of Canada. Water flows ranging from 0.0002 - 0.39 m³/s were delivered to a model roadway to quantify the conveyance of the catch basin inlets for various roadway grades and cross-slopes. The report covers a review of the experimental setup, including details on the model roadway that was used to perform the tests. A review of the instrumentation used and the measurements performed in this work follows. The five catch basin inlet configurations and four curb cut configurations used in the study were examined. A preliminary analysis including an assessment of experimental uncertainties was performed. The detailed results from each of the five catch basin inlet combinations and four curb cut combinations were provided. Finally, a comparison of the performance of the drainage solutions covered in this report is performed.
