ASCE 12-13, 13-13 AND 14-13 PDF Download

The ASCE 12-13, 13-13, and 14-13 standards, collectively titled "Standard Guidelines for the Design, Installation, and Operation and Maintenance of Urban Subsurface," provide comprehensive guidance for the design, installation, and operation and maintenance of urban subsurface drainage systems.

The standard was prepared by the Urban Drainage Standards Committee of the Standards Development Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE.

ASCE 12-13 focuses on the design of urban subsurface drainage systems, covering various aspects such as site analysis, system configuration, hydraulics and hydrology, structural considerations, and materials. It has been updated to include the latest state-of-the-art information on the hydraulics of different types of drains, including drain pipes, aggregate drains, geotextile drains, and geonets and geocomposite drains.

ASCE 13-13 focuses on the installation of urban subsurface drainage systems, including site investigation, installation procedures, and inspection.

ASCE 14-13 provides guidelines for the operation and maintenance of urban subsurface drainage systems. It covers areas such as O&M plans, safety, water quality, inspection, maintenance, and rehabilitation.

These standards are applicable to a wide range of applications and areas including industrial, commercial, residential, and recreational areas, as well as transportation systems like airports and roads. Engineers working with subsurface drainage systems, as well as owners of such systems, will find these standards to be a valuable resource.
