Analysis of Siphonic Roof Drainage Systems with EPANET

Analysis and design of siphonic roof drainage systems are usually performed with specific software developed by the system’s manufacturers. An experimental study was carried out to verify if a general for analysis hydraulic pressurized pipe networks can be used analyze system. A test model built tests were conducted compare prototype results simulation runs in EPANET. new EPANET data overcome limitations analysis. Considering results, less than 5% average error observed between measures real which attributed measurement error. To validate model, it compared that analyzes systems. It concluded is and, therefore, design, buildings.
