ASCE Manual of Practice No. 60 / WEF Manual of Practice No. FD-5

Prepared by the Environment and Water Resoruces Institute; Pipeline Division Committee on Pipeline Planning of ASCE; and the Collection Systems Subcommittee of the technical Practice Committee of the Water Environment FederationGravity Sanitary Sewer Design and Construction, Second Edition covers the administrative and organizational phases of sanitary sewer projects, as well as the parameters necessary to establish the design criteria, complete the design, and award a construction contract.

The Manual offers an in-depth discussion of commonly used trenchless and conventional methods of sanitary sewer construction. With its liberal use of charts, illustrations, and case studies, this practical manual is an indispensable resource for engineers in the field of sanitary sewer structural and hydraulic design. The present edition represents a thorough revision and expansion of the 1982 edition of Gravity Sanitary Sewer Design and Construction, and is the fourth revision of the material since initial publication in 1960 as part of ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 37, Design and Construction of Sanitary and Storm Sewers.
