External Load Crushing Strength Test by the Three-Edge Bearing Test Method4.1 Summary of Test MethodThe test specimen is tested in a machine designed to apply a crushing force upon the specimenin a pl
16、ane through the vertical axis extending along the length of the specimen.4.2 Significance and UseThe crushing test method shall be either a quality control test performed to establish that the finished,shippable pipe has sufficient strength to withstand the crushing loads stated in the specification
17、s or a proof of design test performedto prove the adequacy of design.4.3 Apparatus:4.3.1 The testing machine shall be of any type of sufficient capacity and shall be capable of providing the rate of loadingprescribed in 4.5.3.4.3.2 The testing machine shall be substantial and rigid throughout, so th
18、at the distribution of the load will not be affectedappreciably by the deformation or yielding of any part.4.3.3 The three-edge-bearing method of loading shall be used. The test specimen shall be supported on a lower bearing of twoparallel longitudinal strips and the load applied through an upper be
19、am (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, and Fig. 4). At the option of themanufacturer, either or both the lower bearing and the upper bearing shall extend the full length or any portion of the length ofthe specimen.4.3.4 The lower bearings shall consist of wood or hard rubber strips. Wooden strips shall be stra
20、ight, have a cross section ofnot less than 50 mm in width and not less than 25 mm nor more than 38 mm in height and shall have the top inside corners roundedto a radius of 13 mm. Hard rubber strips shall have a durometer hardness of not less than 45 nor more than 60. They shall berectangular in cros
21、s section, having a width of not less than 50 mm, a thickness of not less than 25 mm nor more than 38 mm,and shall have the top inside corner rounded to a radius of 13 mm.4.3.5 The lower bearing strips shall be fastened to a wooden or steel beam or directly to a concrete base, any of which shallprov
22、ide sufficient rigidity so that the deflection is not greater than 1720 of the specimen length when the maximum load is applied.The rigid base shall be at least 150 mm wide. The interior vertical sides of the strips shall be parallel and spaced a distance apartof not more than 25 mm per 300 mm of sp
23、ecimen diameter, but in no case less than 25 mm. The bearing faces of the lower stripsshall not vary from a straight line vertically or horizontally by more than 2.5 mm/m of length under no load.4.3.6 The upper bearing shall be a rigid wood beam with or without an attached hard rubber strip. The woo
24、d shall be sound,free of knots, and straight and true from end to end. It shall be fastened to a steel or wood-faced steel beam of such dimensionsthat deflections under maximum load will not be greater than 1720 of the specimen length. The bearing face of the upper bearingshall not deviate from a st
25、raight line by more than 2.5 mm/m of length. When a hard rubber strip is used on the bearing face itshall have a durometer hardness of not less than 45 nor more than 60, and shall have a width of not less than 50 mm and a thicknessof not less than 25 mm nor more than 38 mm and shall be secured to a
26、wood beam meeting the above requirements.4.3.7 If mutually agreed upon by the manufacturer and the owner prior to the test, before the specimen is placed, a fillet ofplaster of paris not exceeding 25 mm in thickness shall be cast on the surface of the upper and lower bearings. The width of thefillet
27、 cap, upper or lower, shall be not more than 80 mm/m of the specimen diameter, but in no case less than 25 mm.4.3.8 The equipment shall be so designed that the load will be distributed about the center of the overall length (L1) of thespecimen (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, and Fig. 4). At the option of t
28、he manufacturer, the center of the load shall be applied at any pointof the overall length (L1) of the specimen. The load shall be applied either at a single point or at multiple points dependent on thelength of the specimen being tested and the rigidity of the test frame.NOTE 1The user of these tes
29、t methods is advised that multiple points of load applications to the upper bearing will permit use of lighter beams withoutexcessive deflection.4.4 CalibrationThe loading device shall be one which shall provide an accuracy of 62 % at the specified test loads. Acalibration curve shall be used. The m
30、achines used for performing the three-edge-bearing tests shall be verified in accordance withPractices E4.4.5 ConditioningThe moisture requirements of 1.3 are not required, at the option of the manufacturer.4.6 Procedure:4.6.1 Place the specimen on the two lower bearing strips in such a manner that
31、the pipe or tile rests firmly and with uniformbearing on each strip.C497M 192NOTE 1The figures illustrate a method of applying the load to the pipeFIG. 1 Three-Edge-Bearing Test, Circular PipeNOTE 1The figure illustrates a method of applying the load to the pipe.FIG. 2 Three-Edge-Bearing Test, Arch

Place the upper bearing so that it is aligned with these marks.4.6.3 For reinforced
34、concrete pipe, any rate or load application up to a maximum of 109.4 kN/linear metre of pipe per minuteshall be used up to 75 % of the specified design strength, at which time the rate of loading shall be reduced to a maximum uniformrate of 43.8 kN/linear metre of pipe per minute. If both the design
35、 strength and the ultimate strength are being determined, aspecified rate of loading need not be maintained after the design strength has been reached. For nonreinforced concrete pipe, anyrate of load application up to a maximum of 109.4 kN/linear metre of pipe per minute shall be used up to 75 % of
36、 the specifiedultimate strength, at which time the rate of loading shall be reduced to the maximum uniform rate of 43.8 kN/linear metre of pipeper minute.4.6.4 As defined in Terminology C822, the design strength is the maximum load, expressed as a D-load, supported by the pipebefore a crack having a
37、 width of 0.3 mm occurs throughout a continuous length of 300 mm or more measured parallel to thelongitudinal axis of the pipe barrel. The crack is 0.3 mm in width when the point of the measuring gauge will, without forcing,penetrate 1.5 mm at 75 mm maximum intervals, throughout the specified distan
38、ce of 300 mm. Measure the width of the crack bymeans of a gauge made from a leaf in thickness (as in a set of standard machinist gauges), ground to a point of 1.5 mm in widthwith corners rounded and with a taper of 0.25 mm/mm as shown in Fig. 6.NOTE 2As used in this specification, the 0.3-mm crack i
39、s a test criterion for pipe tested in three-edge bearing test and is not intended as an indicationof overstressed or failed pipe under installed conditions.4.6.5 As defined in Terminology C822, the ultimate strength is the maximum load supported by the pipe.NOTE 3Ultimate strength of concrete pipe i
40、n the buried condition is dependent on varying soil bedding factors and varying failure modes and shallhave no relationship to the ultimate strength as defined under three-edge bearing conditions.4.7 Calculations:4.7.1 Strength test results shall be calculated in terms of pounds per linear foot. The
41、 length used in calculating the strengthvalues shall be that indicated by the manufactured length (L) in Figs. 1-4. For pipe with a bell, the manufactured length (L) is thelength from the spigot/tongue end face to the bell/groove inside shoulder. For straight wall pipe, no bell, the manufactured len
42、gth(L) is the same as for pipe with a bell or the alternate of the length from the spigot/tongue outside shoulder to the socket/grooveend face. For plain end or cut pipe, no bell or spigot, the manufactured length (L) is the same as the overall length (L1). For pipehaving a spigot on one end with th
43、e opposite end being plain, the manufactured length (L) shall be the distance from the plain endto the center of the joint. For pipe having a bell on one end with the opposite end being plain, the manufactured length (L) shallbe the distance from the plain end to the bell inside shoulder. See Termin
44、ology C822 for definitions of manufactured length (L)and overall length (L1).4.7.2 The ultimate strength in pounds per linear metre shall be calculated by dividing the maximum test load applied to the pipeby the manufactured length, (L).4.7.3 The D-load strength in newtons per linear metre per milli
45、metre of inside diameter or horizontal span shall be either the0.3-mm crack D-load strength or the ultimate D-load strength. The 0.3-mm crack D-load shall be calculated by dividing the testload required to produce the 0.3-mm crack by the manufactured length, (L), and by the pipe inside diameter or h
46、orizontal span.The ultimate D-load strength shall be calculated by dividing the ultimate test load applied to the pipe by the manufactured length,(L), and by the pipe inside diameter or horizontal span.4.8 Precision and BiasThe user of these test methods is advised that the true value for the streng
47、th of a concrete pipe cannotbe determined because the specimen is tested to destruction and exact duplicate specimens cannot be obtained. Therefore, nocalculations of precision and bias are presently possible. Specifications that include this test method for the various types ofconcrete pipe should
48、include a provision for additional tests of one or more specimens.5. Flat Slab Top Test Method5.1 Summary of Test MethodA load is applied to the flat slab top and the supporting capacity of the flat slab top is measured.5.2 Significance and UseThe test method is a proof of design test performed to p
49、rove the adequacy of the design.5.3 ConditioningThe moisture requirements of 1.3 are not required, at the option of the manufacturer.5.4 ProcedurePlace the section that has been designated to receive the flat slab top on a firm, even surface.
