%0 Journal Article %T AN APPROUCH FOR INFILTRATION TRENCHES INSTALATION AT URBAN AREA OF RIO CLARO ¨C S O PAULO %A Rodrigo Braga Moruzzi %A Samuel Guizeline Trindade %J Engenharia Ambiental : Pesquisa e Tecnologia %D 2011 %I Environmental Engineering Course / UNIPINHAL %X The purpose of this work is to study the theme ˇ°infiltration trenchesˇ± in some of its main aspects, in order to subsidize the installation of these structures in the urban area of Rio Claro/SP. For sizing, the ˇ°rain-envelope methodˇ± was used based on local characterization data and the IDF (intensity-duration-frequency) curve. Five locations were chosen in the urban area of Rio Claro for implementation of these devices, considering the soil type, hydraulic conductivity of each area and minimum lot size according to the Master Plan of Rio Claro. This work also presented an estimated reduction of the runoff in urban lots by using infiltration trenches. %K runoff %K drainage %K infiltration trenches %U http://189.20.243.4/ojs/engenhariaambiental/include/getdoc.php?id=1606&article=701&mode=pdf
