Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are faced with a scenario involving an engineering project in a mountainous region. The designs predict both 6-hour and 24-hour PMP values. If the 6-hour value is 50 mm, what might the 24-hour value generally indicate based on DAD principles?

💡 Hint: Remember how intensity spreads over time and area.

Question 2

Explain how you would approach designing flood-control measures in a city that experiences both short intense storms and longer, lighter rainfall. What factors would you consider in light of PMP estimation?

💡 Hint: Reflect on intensity and water drainage capabilities.
