    Gutter Design Calculations: Try Size Width

    Uploaded by

    4geniecivil
    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.
