The structure and enclosed paved plaza of the BMW Zentrum building, located in Greenville, South Carolina, may be approximated as a 70-m diametercircle. Flow path length may be approximated as the average of the diameter and a half-circumference. The average surface slope ofthis combinedfacility is approximately 5 percent. (a) Compute time of concentration using the FAA equation. (b) Rainfall intensity for Greenville County may be computed by the formula i = a/ (b + t.)°, using coefficients in the following table. What is the expected 25-year rainfall intensity? (c) Using the rational method, whatis the expected peak 25-year runoff from this facility? (d) What factors may contribute to the uncertainty of this runoff estimate?
