General Requir

23、ements4.1 BurialThe maximum and minimum burial depth areaffected by the following factors, groove support angle of thetrench bottom, bedding, blinding backfill soil density, envelopedensity, envelope placement, pipe stiffness, the live loadexpected, desired water table depth, and width of trench.4.1

24、.1 Minimum Depth:4.1.1.1 Mineral SoilsThe minimum recommended coverneeded to protect the pipe from crushing under live loads is 0.6m (2 ft). Granular bedding or special construction techniquesmay be used to reduce the cover. The time for consolidation ofbackfill may be a factor (see 8.1). The minimu

25、m cover mayhave limiting factors other than crushing such as clearance forsubsoiling and utility crossing.4.1.1.2 Organic SoilsSubsurface drains should be in-stalled in these soils only after initial subsidence has occurred.To produce initial subsidence open ditches should be con-structed in deep or

26、ganic soils to carry off free water, and thearea should be allowed to stand or be partially cultivated for aperiod of 3 to 5 years before installing pipe. The recommendedminimum cover for the pipe in organic soils is 0.7 m (2.5 ft).If water level controls are not provided in the drainage systemto ho

27、ld subsidence to a minimum, the depth of cover should beincreased to 0.9 m (3 ft).NOTE 1These minimum depths are recommended to prevent crushingof the pipe by normal agricultural vehicle loads. Other drainage factorssuch as those encountered with salinity control in arid irrigated lands mayrequire m

28、inimum depths of 1.8 m (6 ft).4.1.2 Maximum DepthThe maximum burial depth is in-fluenced by such factors as degree of compaction, type ofbedding, support from the trench bottom, trench width, size ofFIG. 1 Terminology for Installation of Plastic Drain PipeFIG. 2 Support GroovesF44902e12pipe, pipe st

29、iffness, weight of backfill, and live loads imposed.Without an engineering design, maximum buried depths shouldbe limited to those listed in Table 1. For installation at depthsgreater than those listed in Table 1, specifications of andengineering design should be followed.4.1.3 Trench WidthIncreasin

30、g the trench width increasesthe soil load on the pipe. Side clearances of more than 150 mm(6 in.) on each side should only be used with an engineeringdesign and special construction (see Table 1). Trench widthmust be at least 50 mm (2 in.) wider than the pipe on each sidefor plow installation and 75

31、 to 150 mm (3 to 6 in.) on each sidefor open trench installation to allow sufficient bedding tosupport the pipe. If fine material cannot be placed alongsideand over the pipe, a wider trench should be considered orspecial bedding material supplied.4.2 Design ItemsIt is particularly important that bli

32、nding,bedding, or envelope material be placed as the pipe is installed,to ensure uniform continuous support, so that the bedding,blinding, or envelope material can provide lateral restraintagainst pipe deflection as the backfill settles on the bedding,blinding, or envelope material.4.3 EnvelopesMust

33、 be designed to provide adequate sup-port for the pipe, improve the flow of ground water into thepipe, and in some installations, filter flow into the pipe.4.3.1 Natural Granular EnvelopesMinimum thickness of75 mm (3 in.) around the pipe.4.3.2 Synthetic EnvelopesBlinding or bedding is neededto suppo

34、rt and hold the envelope and pipe in place.4.4 FiltersAre required when ground water can developvelocities sufficient to move sand or silt, or both, into the drain.Filters must be able to restrict the movement of these particlesinto the pipe so that the hydraulic capacity of the pipe ismaintained.4.

35、4.1 Granular FiltersDesign of a graded sand and finegravel filter should match the gradation of the specific soilfollowing criteria developed by the Natural Resource Conser-vation Service, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, or the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers.4.4.2 Synthetic FiltersThin synthetic fabric

36、 material orgeotextiles may be used where bedding, soil, and hydraulicconditions permit. The openings in synthetic filters must becompatible with the soil that surrounds the drain to preventexcessive movement of soil that otherwise could plug the drainor filter (see 5.3).NOTE 2These filters must be

37、specified to be compatible with the soiltype that encompasses the conduit since protective filters can plug anddecrease the inflow capability. Where fiberglass filter material is used, itshall be manufactured from borosilicate-type glass and the manufacturershall certify that it is suitable for unde

38、rground use. The fibers should be ofvariable size, with some larger fibers intertwined in the mat in a randommanner.NOTE 3Vegetative filter material such as straw, hay, corn-cobs,woodchips, sawdust, and coconut fiber are not recommended for use withflexible conduits because such conduits depend on t

39、he development oflateral support and these soft materials may not provide the necessarylateral support.4.5 GradeShall be as specified in the plan or guide.Deviations greater than the following shall not be allowed.Vertical deviations of more than 0.1 ft (30.5 mm) in 10 ft (3.05m). Negative grade tha

40、t would fill the pipe more than 10 %.Due to the speed of installation with the plow, automatic gradecontrol is recommended. The pipe feeding system shall holdthe pipe in place in the bottom of the trench until secured by thebedding, blinding, or envelope material.4.6 Material RequirementsPipe and fi

41、ttings shall meet therequirements of the applicable ASTM standards referenced inSection 2 and Table 1.5. Significant Factors in Pipe/Soil Interactions5.1 ConnectionsIn start holes and adjacent open trenches,the pipe shall be aligned both vertically and horizontally,blinded and hand tamped along the

42、sides of the pipe to preventexcessive deflection.5.2 DeflectionThe deflection of corrugated plastic pipe isrelated to installation practice, bedding, groove support angle,blinding, gradation and density of soil, depth of installation,trench width in relation to pipe size, live loads imposed,stretch,

43、 and pipe stiffness of pipe. Maximum pipe deflectionshould be specified and not exceed 10 % of its nominaldiameter.5.3 FiltersSynthetic materials should never be used whenthe soil has a silt content greater than 40 %.5.4 Trench DepthSee 4.1.FIG. 3 Pipe Encased in Bedding for Support (left) and PipeE

44、ncased in Sand and Gravel Envelope Designed as Filter (right)F44902e135.5 Trench WidthThe width of the trench or blade belowthe top of the pipe should be adequate to allow placing pipe,reducers, and connectors in the bottom of the trench and shouldconform to 4.1.3.6. Construction6.1 AlignmentShould

45、be as smooth as possible with acurve radius larger than five times the pipe diameter.6.2 BackfillingPlace the backfill material so that displace-ment or deflection of the pipe will not occur. This is preferablyon an angle, so the material flows down the front slope. Avoidlarge stones, frozen materia

46、l, and dry clods that cause concen-trated direct loads on the pipe. The trench should be backfilledas soon as possible after blinding. When installing the pipe ona hot day back-filling should be delayed until pipe temperaturecools to the soil temperature (see 8.1).6.3 BeddingNecessary for the suppor

47、t and protection ofthe pipe. If adequate support is not provided by the soil andtrench bottom shape as shown in Fig. 2, envelopes or specialconstruction should be used.6.4 BlindingMaterial used for this process should notcontain any hard object larger than 38 mm (112 in.) in diameterand should cover

48、 the pipe to a depth of 150 mm (6 in.). See Fig.5 for possible boot and shield configuration.6.5 Bottom ShapeThe bottom should be one of the shapesshown in Fig. 2. The 90 “V” bottom of Fig. 2 works well onnominal sizes less than 200 mm (8 in.). The pipe is pressed intothe void, which reduces horizon

49、tal deflection in the completedFIG. 4 Suggested Methods of Providing Rodent Protection for Outlet PipesF44902e14installation. For pipe 200 mm (8 in.) or greater, the circular ortrapezoidal groove should be used. The curve of the circulargroove shall closely fit the outside of the pipe or there will beinsufficient support and deflection will be increased. Forflat-bottom trench, bedding must be used for support as in Fig.3.6.6 Couplers, Fittings, and CurvesFittings should beinstalled in accordance with instructions furnished by thema
