Design of Sanitary Sewer Systems (Ohio Timed & Monitored)
Credit: 3 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: J.N. Ramaswamy, P.E., PhD
In Design of Sanitary Sewer Systems, you'll learn ...
- How to determine population projections and sewage flow projections in the design year
- Hydraulics of open-channel flow
- Appurtenances and special structures in a sewer system
- Materials used in sewer construction
- Structural requirement of sewer conduits
Overview
To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 150 minutes has been met.

This course “Design of Sanitary Sewer System” provides a study of the methods, procedures, and concepts required for design of a sanitary sewer system. It also describes the surveys and field investigations necessary to obtain data needed for the design.
The course offers hands-on knowledge need to successfully design a sanitary sewer system. Tables, charts, and sample problems with solutions are provided throughout the course.
This course is relevant to municipal engineers, public utility directors, consulting engineers, and engineers working in regulatory agencies, as well as any other engineer interested in the design of sanitary sewer systems.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the design criteria for sanitary sewers.
- Determine the design year and project the population for that year.
- Establish the per capita sewage flow for the design year.
- Calculate sewage flow velocities at different flow depths and explain the need to maintain a self-cleansing velocity.
- Select an appropriate material for a sewer conduit.
- Analyze the superimposed load on a sewer conduit under different trench conditions and design the sewer to withstand the load.
- Explain the need for appurtenances and special structures in a sewer system.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 15 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
