ASCE 45-16,46-16 AND 47-16 PDF Download

The ASCE 45-16, 46-16, and 47-16 standards, titled "Standard Guidelines for The Design, Installation, and Operation and Maintenance of Urban Stormwater Systems," provide comprehensive guidance for the design, installation, and maintenance of stormwater systems in urban areas. These standards are developed by the Urban Drainage Standards Committee of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

ASCE 45-16 focuses on the design aspects of urban stormwater systems, covering topics such as site analysis, system configuration, hydrology, hydraulic design, nonstructural considerations, structural design, and materials. It provides engineers and planners with guidelines on how to effectively design stormwater management systems in various settings, including airports, roads, industrial areas, and residential areas.

ASCE 46-16 offers guidelines for the installation of urban stormwater systems. It covers topics such as contract documents, preconstruction site inspection, construction, and inspection. This standard ensures that proper installation practices are followed, guaranteeing the efficiency and longevity of the stormwater systems.

ASCE 47-16 provides guidelines for the operation and maintenance of urban stormwater systems. It includes topics such as operation and maintenance plans, water quality, periodic inspection, and maintenance practices. This standard ensures that stormwater systems are operated and maintained properly to maximize their effectiveness and prevent any potential issues or negative impacts on the environment.

The recent editions of these standards, which supersede the 2005 versions, incorporate new technical details derived from practical research, particularly in the fields of hydrology, hydraulic design, and structural design. The standards also include updated references, making them a valuable resource for engineers, planners, and system owners involved in urban stormwater management.
