Even though sewers have been conventionally designed to prevent from sediment deposition using a specified minimum velocity or shear stress at a particular depth of flow or with a particular frequency of occurrence, it was appreciated that these methods do not consider the characteristics and concentration of the sediment and the specific hydraulic conditions of the sewer with sediment. In this study, a densimetric Froude number formula was suggested considering particle diameter and volumetric concentration of the sediment as well as flow depth and flowrate, based on several domestic field inspections, which was compared with other formulas proposed by previous investigators. When the sediment concentration was not considered, the calibration coefficient of 0.125-1.5 to the densimetric Froude numbers of this study was needed to obtain the similar ones with previous investigators’. For the densimetric Froude number formula obtained with consideration of sediment concentration, the exponent value of term Cv was almost the same as that of previous results and that of d50/Rh was similar for Fr < 2.2.

The depth of sewers in residential complexes was determined to prevent the separated sewers from misconnection between storm sewer and sanitary sewer, and from the submersion of the basement by minimizing the phenomenon of backwater when it rains. In residential complexes, main causes of the submersion were the misconnection of sewers, rising of the backwater level at outfall in sewer system, poor maintenance of sewers, and lacking in their cross section. Minimum depth of sewers should be over 1.2~1.5m. According to the economic analysis, the depth of 1.5m~3.0m was appropriate for minimizing the submersion of basements and for making the disposal of domestic wastewater more easily.

도시지역에의 내수침수는 주로 우수관로 배수체계의 통수능력 부족으로 발생된다. 따라서 지금까지의 도시침수에 대한 국내외 연구가 우수관로해석에 국한되어왔다. 하지만 우수관로시스템 해석을 통해서 배수능이 부족한 관거를 찾는 것만으로 침수방지대책을 세우는 것은 매우 근사적이고 비합리적인 대안을 제시할 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 도시침수양상에 대한 정확하고 합리적인 해를 도출하기 위하여 ILLUDAS를 이용한 관로시스템 해석과 2차원 지표류 계산모형을
