| dc.description.abstract | The thesis examines the compliance of Ethiopian plumbing code for high rise buildings in Addis Ababa city. The adequacy of Ethiopian plumbing code with other international plumbing codes and its effectiveness of the design and installations of water supply systems of a building, the design and installation of internal waste water drainage systems of a building, the design and installation of external waste water drainage systems of a building (septic tank), the code compliance of installed sanitary fixtures and appliances and the design and installation of roof storm water drainage systems using both the international and local plumbing codes. New technology PEX-AL-PEX pipe material, grease interceptor for kitchen sink and vent piping system were used for over viewing of Ethiopian plumping codes to the other international plumbing code. Hazzen William equation, plumber’s chart, flow rate and loading units of fixture units were used the analysis of the design of water supply system. The traps and loading units of sanitary appliance, slope and horizontal pipe size, fixture units and vertical pipe size of stack, total loading unit of fixtures and pipe size for both common and combined vent were used the analysis of internal wastewater drainage systems of a building. The rate of flow method, discharge versus total loading unit chart, standard area covered for storage septic tank, volume of sediment, volume of sludge were used the analysis of external waste water drainage systems of a building. Discharge of roof storm water by rational formula. Pipe size capacity of down pipe, intensity of rain fall and specifications of roof gutter were used the analysis of roof storm water drainage system of a building. The local Ethiopian plumbing code was used for analysis of internal waste water drainage systems and the roof storm - water drainage. The international plumbing code and Indian plumbing code is good for analysis of water supply pipe lines and external waste water drainage system. The study focused on assessing whether the installed plumbing components of selected buildings meets the established design requirements, standards and regulations of plumbing codes. Recommendations were also provided to ensure optimal plumbing system designs, functionality and compliance with relevant plumbing codes and standard requirements. | |
