Dimensionamento De Rede Coletora De Esgoto: Desenvolvimento De Software

Abstract

The use of conduits for collection and transportation of sewage has been important since antiquity. The implantation of sewage collection networks avoids bad smell, contamination of water bodies and future expenditures with public health. Therefore, agility in the development of projects in this essential area is necessary. Taking into account that the time consumed to size a sewage collection network, becomes extensive in the pre-dimensioning, due to the calculation process, the DimensionamentoRC application was developed. It is a software with Visual Basic.net language developed to automate the pre-sizing phase of conduits. The software considers ABNT NBR - 9649 (1986), to regulate sanitary sewage collection networks. The program has a simple and usual interface, and the same is applicable in cases of networks with wells with up to 4 inputs and one output. Although the software was developed to facilitate the design of the collecting networks, its use does not exclude the engineer's participation in this process. The engineering professional will always be responsible for the design of the project, in particular, for the layout of the collection network.
