Abstract
Disclosed is a fluid, namely stormwater, management system employing a chamber having an overall substantially constant curve cross-sectional geometry, with an a-semicircular constant curve cross-sectional geometry preferred. This chamber, which preferably follows both AASHTO standard specifications for Highway Bridges, Section 18, and Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe Association (CCPA) specifications, can further comprise corregations, support members and/or connecting elements to further add structural integrity.
Claims8
In a corrugated arch shape cross section chamber, for receiving and dispersing stormwater when buried in compactable media, wherein opposing chamber sidewalls run upwardly from the chamber base to the chamber top to define an arch shape cross section geometry having an inner height H, measured along the central vertical axis of the cross section, and an inner width W, measured horizontally at said base;
- the improvement which comprises:
- an arch shape cross section geometry which is a truncated semi-ellipse having a major axis lying along said vertical axis.
