14、rs, and large-radius invert.4. Significance and Use4.1 Corrugated aluminum pipe functions structurally as aflexible ring which is supported by and interacts with thecompacted surrounding soil. The soil constructed around thepipe is thus an integral part of the structural system. It istherefore impor

15、tant to ensure that the soil structure or backfillis made up of acceptable material and is well-constructed.Field verification of soil structure acceptability using TestMethods D 1556, D 2167, D 2922, or D 2937, as applicable,and comparing the results with Test Method D 698 in accor-dance with the s

16、pecifications for each project, is the mostreliable basis for installation of an acceptable structure. Therequired density and method of measurement are not specifiedby this practice, but they must be established in the specifica-tions for each project.5. Trench Excavation5.1 To obtain anticipated s

17、tructural performance of corru-gated aluminum pipe it is not necessary to control trench widthbeyond the minimum required for proper installation of pipeand backfill. However, the soil on each side beyond theexcavated trench must be able to support anticipated loads.When a construction situation cal

18、ls for a relatively wide trench,it shall be made as wide as required, for its full depth if sodesired. However, trench excavation must be in compliancewith any local, state, and federal codes and safety regulations.6. Foundation6.1 The supporting soil beneath the pipe must provide areasonably unifor

19、m resistance to the imposed load, bothlongitudinally and laterally. Sharp variations in the foundationmust be avoided. When rock is encountered, it must beexcavated and replaced with soil. If the pipe runs along acontinuous rock foundation, it is necessary to provide asuitable soil bedding under the

20、 pipe. See Fig. 3.6.2 Lateral changes in foundation should never be such thatthe pipe is firmly supported while the backfill alongside is not.When soft material is encountered during construction andmust be removed in order to provide an adequate foundation,remove the soft material for a distance of

21、 three pipe widths,unless the engineer has set another limit. See Fig. 4.6.3 Performance of buried pipe is enhanced by allowing thepipe to settle slightly under load compared to the columns ofsoil alongside. Thus, for larger pipes it can be beneficial topurposely create a foundation under the pipe i

22、tself which willyield under load more than will the foundation under thecolumns of soil to each side. It can usually be obtained byplacing a layer of compressible soil of a suitable thickness, lessdensely compacted than the soil alongside, beneath the struc-ture. This creates favorable relative move

23、ment between pipeand the soil on each side. It is of particular importance onpipe-arches.6.4 Pipe-ArchesAll pipe-arch structures must have excel-lent soil support at their corners by both the in-situ foundationand the structural backfill. See Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. They do notrequire the same degree of

24、support under their large-radiusinverts.6.5 The engineer is encouraged to develop details specific tothe site based on the general principles for foundation condi-tions given in 6.1 through 6.4.d =12 in./ft 40 mm/m of fill over pipe, with a 24-in. 600-mm maximum.NOTE 1Section B-B is applicable to al

25、l continuous rock foundations.FIG. 3 Foundation Transition Zones and Rock FoundationsFIG. 4 Soft Foundation TreatmentB 788/B 788M 0427. Bedding7.1 Material used for bedding beneath the pipe shall meetthe requirements of this section. Material in contact with thepipe shall not contain rock retained o

26、n a 3-in. 75-mm ring,frozen lumps, chunks of highly plastic clay, organic matter,corrosive material, or other deleterious material. It is notrequired to shape the bedding to the pipe geometry. However,for pipe-arches, it is recommended to either shape the beddingto the relatively flat bottom arc or

27、fine-grade the foundation toa slight v-shape. This avoids the problem of trying to backfillthe difficult area beneath the invert of pipe-arches. See Fig. 5.8. Pipe Installation8.1 All pipe shall be unloaded and handled with reasonablecare. Pipe shall not be rolled or dragged over gravel or rock ands

28、hall be prevented from striking rock or other hard objectsduring placement on bedding. Pipe with protective coatingsshall be handled with special care to avoid damage. Pavedinverts shall be placed and centered in the invert.8.2 Joining Systems:8.2.1 Purpose of Joining systemsJoining systems forcorru

29、gated aluminum pipe serve several purposes: (1) tomaintain pipe alignment during installation; (2) to join the endsof pipe sections that will subsequently be buried; (3) to createa continuous flow line; and (4) to limit the amount ofinfiltration of backfill material into the pipe and to limitexfiltr

30、ation of the flow through the pipe.8.2.2 Joint System ComponentsThe joining system shallbe specified by the project engineer. The components shallconform to the requirements of Specification B 745/B 745M.The pipe fabricator shall provide the components specified forthe project or as designated by th

31、e fabricator in accordancewith Specification B 745/B 745M, Ordering Information. Con-formance of the joining system components with the projectrequirements shall be verified upon delivery to the project site.8.2.3 Joining System InstallationThe performance of thepipe line and the joining system will

32、 be achieved only when allcomponents of the pipe system are properly installed. As anintegral portion of the pipe system, the joining system must beassembled in accordance with the details in the project draw-ings or the recommendations provided by the pipe fabricator.8.2.3.1 GasketsIf gaskets are a

33、 required component of thejoining system, they shall be placed on the pipe ends, at therequired location on the pipe, prior to installation of the coupleror bands, or prior to stabbing a bell and spigot joint. For joiningsystems incorporating o-rings(s), the o-ring shall be placed onthe spigot end o

34、f the pipe when the joint is a stab-type joiningsystem, or one shall be placed on each end of the pipes thatform a joining system that incorporates a coupling band. If thejoining system includes a flat gasket, the gasket shall be placedover the end of the pipe previously placed and extended overthe

35、end of the adjacent pipe after it is positioned. In lieu of asingle flat gasket, two smaller flat gaskets may be used withone gasket on the end of the pipe forming the joint. For pipesupplied with a factory installed band or coupler, no fieldinstalled gasket will be required on the pipe end with the

36、factory installed device. When recommended by the manufac-turer, lubricant shall be applied to the designated surfaces.Once installed, the gasket shall be protected against damageuntil the joint is completely installed.8.2.3.2 Coupling BandsCoupling bands shall be placedon the end of the last pipe i

37、nstalled. When installing two-partbands, the first portion of the band shall be placed to cover thebottom portion of the pipe. When the subsequent pipe isplaced, the installation of the joining system is completed toensure proper alignment of the pipeline. The width of theopening between pipe ends s

38、hall be as recommended by thepipe fabricator. The band shall be tightened around the pipeends to the extent necessary to achieve proper performance ofthe joining system. The band shall be placed over the pipebeing joined in a manner that matches any corrugations ordimples in the band with the corrug

39、ations in the pipe. Followthe pipe fabricators instructions and methods for tighteningthe bands.8.2.3.3 Sleeve Coupler and Bell and Spigot JoiningSystemsWhen a field installed sleeve coupler is utilized, itshall be placed on the end of the pipe previously placed. Witha bell and spigot system, the fi

40、rst pipe is to be oriented so thebell is open in a direction in which installation will proceed.The subsequent pipe is installed by inserting the spigot, or pipeend without the sleeve coupler, to the maximum depth permit-ted by the joining system. Follow the pipe fabricators instruc-tions for the me

41、thod of assembly and use of insertion force.8.2.4 Joint BackfillThe joining system was selected basedon the expected site conditions, specifically the type andgradation of backfill material. The structural backfill materialused around the pipe shall be in accordance with the projectspecifications. B

42、ackfill material shall conform to that specifiedin Section 9, and shall be placed in accordance with Section 10.Care shall be exercised during backfill placement not todamage or dislodge the joining system.9. Structural Backfill Material9.1 Structural backfill is that material that surrounds thepipe

43、, extending laterally to the walls of the trench, or to the fillFIG. 5 Bedding and Corner Zone Treatment for Pipe-ArchStructuresB 788/B 788M 043material for embankment construction, and extending verti-cally from the invert to an elevation of 1 ft 300 mm or18 thediameter or span, whichever is greate

44、r, over the pipe. Thenecessary width of structural backfill depends on the quality ofthe trench wall or embankment material, the type of materialand compaction equipment used for the structural backfill, andin embankment construction, the type of construction equip-ment used to compact the embankmen

45、t fill. The width ofstructural backfill shall meet the requirements given in Table 1.9.2 Structural backfill material shall be readily compactedsoil or granular fill material with no material retained on a 3-in.75-mm ring. Select materials such as bank-run gravels orother processed granular material

46、s with excellent structuralcharacteristics are preferred. Desired end results are obtainablewith this type of material with a minimum of compaction effortover a wide range of moisture content, lift depth, and compac-tion equipment characteristics. Excavated native soils used asstructural backfill sh

47、all not contain frozen lumps, highly plasticclay, organic material, corrosive material, or other deleteriousforeign materials. Soil classifications are defined in Classifica-tion D 2487. Soils meeting the requirements of groups GW,GP, GM, GC, SW, and SP are generally acceptable, whencompacted to the

48、 specified percent of maximum density asdetermined by Test Method D 698. Test Methods D 1556, D2167, D 2922, and D 2937 shall be used to determine thein-place density of the soil. Soil types SM and SC areacceptable, but they will require closer control to obtain thespecified density. Soil Groups ML

49、and CL are not preferredmaterials, while soil Groups OL, MH, CH, OH, and PT are notacceptable.9.3 Special materials other than soil are acceptable whenused as described in 10.1.10. Structural Backfill Placement10.1 Structural backfill shall be placed in non-compactedlayers from 6 to 12 in. 150 to 300 mm in depth depending onthe type of material and compaction equipment or method.Each layer or lift shall be compacted before adding the nextlift. On flat bedding, care must be taken to place material underthe pipe haunches and compact it firmly. Str
