Manuals of Practice 95

Summary note

Urban Subsurface Drainage, ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 95, was prepared by the Urban Drainage Standards Committee, Water Resources Standards Council, Codes and Standards Activities Committee, and Technical Activities Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers. This manual provides guidance in the planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of urban subsurface drainage systems. Within this framework, the manual discusses such topics as: 1) system configuration including collection system components; 2) hydraulics and hydrology; 3) drain envelopes; 4) loads and pipe behavior; 5) pipe materials; 6) contract documents, codes, and permits; 7) installation methods; and 8) operation and maintenance plan development. Engineers should use this manual of practice as a complement to the three standards (ANSI/ASCE 12-92, Standard Guidelines for Design of Urban Subsurface Drainage; ASCE 13-93, Standard Guidelines for Installation of Urban Subsurface Drainage; and ASCE 14-93, Standard Guidelines for Operation and Maintenance of Urban Subsurface Drainage) previously developed by the same committee.
