SCOPE 1.1. Pipe joint design considerations are a critical component fo

3、r the overall performance of culvert and storm drain installations. Experience has shown that the component responsible for many culvert and sewer performance problems and failures can be traced back to the pipe joint. The structural and hydraulic performance of the joint affects the stability of ba

4、ckfill and soil envelope around the pipe, the line and grade of the culvert, integrity of the overlying embankment and pavement, and compliance to storm and sanitary sewer permits. This practice is to provide clear definitions of joint performance terms, rational design methodology to determine appr

5、opriate joint performance requirements, and uniform criteria for manufacturers joint qualification and contractors post-installation pipe joint testing. 1.2. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of

6、 this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1.

This practice establishes accepted definitions and performance criteria for the joints of buried pipe. Guidance is provided on the selection process for the ap

28、propriate joint, and the standard procedures for verifying performance of the joint, both at the plant and in the field when specified, to ascertain that it meets the required performance criteria. The purpose of this practice is to produce consistent performance levels regardless of the piping mate

29、rial used on the project. 5. PROCEDURE 5.1. Examine the Pipe Joint Selection Process Flowchart in Figure 1. The first consideration in the pipe joint selection decision process is to determine whether the pipe for the application is solid or perforated. If the pipe is perforated, then the joint shal

30、l have openings no larger than the perforations in the pipe wall. 2017 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.

For nonperforated pipe, a determination must be made as to the acceptability of allowing infiltration and/or exfiltration through the pipe joint. If i

32、nfiltration of backfill material is not a concern and water movement through the joint is not a concern, then the default or soiltight joint should be selected for this type of application. The purpose of the soiltight joint is to maintain backfill integrity and pipe alignment and to join the ends/s

33、ections of pipe together to allow a continuous flow of water while maintaining the interior required gap between sections. This joint will limit the infiltration of soil particles in the backfill material to particles that will pass through a No. 200 sieve. 5.1.2. For nonperforated pipe where infilt

34、ration of backfill material is a concern, the designer should examine the composition of the backfill material. If there is a high percentage of soil fines (Note 1) finer than the No. 200 sieve, then a silt-tight joint should be selected for most applications. Note 1A high percentage of fines are de

35、fined as more than 35 percent passing the No. 200 sieve. 5.1.3. If water movement through a joint is a concern, a leak-resistant joint or a special design joint should be selected. 5.1.4. If limited joint leakage is acceptable, a leak-resistant joint shall be specified. This joint will limit water l

36、eakage to a maximum rate of 200 gallons/inch-diameter/mile/day for the pipeline system for a specified head or pressure. 5.1.5. If limited joint leakage is not acceptable, a special design joint shall be specified. 5.2. Sections 8 and 9 should be consulted once the type of joint has been selected. T

37、hese sections present various methods for constructing a soiltight, silt-tight, leak-resistant, or special design joint for each type of pipe material. 5.3. To ensure proper joint performance, the pipe joint integrity shall be established by the pipe joint manufacturer prior to shipping the pipe, an

38、d further verified in the field by the contractor as witnessed by the project inspector. The manufacturer shall perform plant verification tests when specified in accordance with the Plant Test Requirements for the appropriate pipe material in Section 6. This will ensure a suitable pipe joint is bei

39、ng delivered to the job site. Upon completion of the installation of the pipe, field verification of any leakage requirements by visual inspection or applicable testing shall be performed by the contractor and/or engineer when specified in accordance with the Field Test Requirements outlined for the

40、 appropriate pipe material in Section 7. Failure to pass either one of these requirements when specified is cause for rejection of the pipe. 6. PLANT TEST REQUIREMENTS 6.1. Soiltight Joint: 6.1.1. Soiltight joints are specified as a function of opening size (maximum dimension normal to the direction

41、 that soil may infiltrate), channel length (length of the path along which the soil may infiltrate), and backfill particle size. If the size of the opening exceeds 1/8in., the length of the channel must be at least four times the size of the opening. No opening may exceed 1 in. 6.1.2. Concrete Pipe:

42、 6.1.2.1. Concrete pipe joints shall be inspected to ensure dimensions and tolerances are in accordance with the design joint. Pipe, gaskets, wraps, and all other material used to make and seal the joint shall be inspected for compliance to their respective specifications. 2017 by the American Assoc

Plain joints utilizing mortar, mastic, external geotextile wraps, and rubber gaskets are all considered soiltight joints when assembled correctly in the

44、 field. 6.1.3. Corrugated Metal Pipe: 6.1.3.1. Corrugated metal pipe joints shall be inspected to ensure dimensions and tolerances are in accordance with the design joint. Pipe, gaskets, wraps, and all other material used to make and seal the joint shall be inspected for compliance to their respecti

45、ve specifications. 6.1.3.2. Externally banded corrugated or partially corrugated metal pipe bands that are a minimum of 7.5 in. wide and used with annularly corrugated pipe ends are considered soiltight when the assembled dimensions meet the requirements of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specif

46、ications, Section 26. 6.1.3.3. Corrugated metal pipe joints with a bell and spigot configuration conforming to Section 9.1.7 of M 36 are considered soiltight when assembled dimensions meet the requirements of AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications, Section 26. Pipe shall be visually inspecte

47、d to verify minimum requirements. 6.1.4. Plastic Pipe: 6.1.4.1. Plastic pipe joints shall be inspected to ensure dimensions and tolerances are in accordance with the design joint. Pipe, gaskets, wraps, and all other material used to make and seal the joint shall be inspected for compliance to their

48、respective specifications. All measurements shall be made in accordance with AASHTO and ASTM standards. 6.2. Silt-Tight Joint: 6.2.1. A silt-tight joint is resistant to infiltration of particles that pass the No. 200 sieve. Silt-tight joints are specified to provide protection against infiltration o

49、f backfill material containing a high percentage of fines, and typically utilize some type of filtering or sealing component, such as an elastomeric rubber seal or geotextile wrap. Geotextile wraps are manufactured to tolerances that assure silt will not pass through them. The successful performance of these wraps in the field is dependent on their installation. If a geotextile wrap is specified for use, the material specified should meet M 288 with an Apparent Opening Size (AOS) 70. 6.2.2. Concrete Pipe: 6.2.2.1. Concrete pipe
