1. Design a PVC sanitary sewer collection system for the Village of Waffle (Figure P-17-24 B, shown below) by
preparing a sewer design table similar to that shown in Example 19-2 and a profile drawing similar
to Figure 19-13b B. You only need to show the calculations for the pipes running along Bacon Road and
Eggs Road, starting at point F and ending at Point B in the figure below. Your design should comply with the
requirements specified in Chapter 30 of the 10 States Standards for Wastewater. Use the following
assumptions:

Average daily flow rate is the same as average daily water demand, 9.2 m³/hr
Peaking factor for peak dry weather flow is 6.2
Peak wet weather flow is equal to the peak dry weather flow plus an assumption for infiltration and inflow

Write your solution legibly in separate sheets of clean bond paper. 2. Box your final answer in your solution. C. Situation A truss structure is an assembly of straight structural members that form triangular panels. The assembly of triangular panels makes the truss establish a rigid configuration. In a truss structure, connections are theoretically assumed to act as smooth pin; therefore, it does not resist any moment or bending. Due to this magnificent behavior, truss members only resist axial forces in the design phase that could either be compressive or tensile.
