Sewerage Systems and Design Questions and Answers

1.

Which of the following types of sewers uses pipes that are manufactured by the hot process using clays and shales of special qualities and grades?

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB JE - 2023,

Answer: A

Stoneware sewer pipes are made by firing selected clays and shales of special quality in a kiln, the hot process, and are glazed to give a smooth, impervious and corrosion-resistant surface. Brick sewers are built in place from bricks and mortar, plastic sewers are made from PVC or HDPE by extrusion, and asbestos cement sewers are made by mixing asbestos fibre and cement, so none of those is made from clay and shale in a kiln.

For maximum discharge in an egg shaped sewer, the ratio of depth of flow to vertical diameter is:-

Exam Year(s)

RSMSSB JE - 2025, RSMSSB JE Agriculture - 2025, RSMSSB - 2025,

Answer: A

The key gives a depth ratio of 0.95.

In a closed conduit that narrows towards the top, the discharge is greatest just before it runs full. Near the crown, a small rise in depth adds little flow area but a lot of wetted perimeter (the conduit's top), so the hydraulic radius, and with it the velocity, falls. The discharge therefore peaks at a depth slightly below full, of the order of 0.95 of the vertical diameter, as in a circular sewer.

A full sewer (1.0) carries a little less than this maximum for that reason, and depths of 0.33 or 0.5 are far below the peak.
