Methods are developed, using all available data, whereby such resistance factors can be determined within close tolerances in terms of either Darcy or the Manning n. Variables considered include conduit size and shape, corrugation form, flow rate and flow depth. Design charts and geometric tables are presented for the commonly available conduits of five corrugation forms, and examples illustrating use of the charts and procedures are given.

American Concrete Pipe Association 17 Resistance to Flow in Two Types of Concrete Pipe St. Anthony Falls Hydraulic Laboratory, Technical Paper No. 22, Series B, Dec. 1960, 148 pp. Presents the results of experimental studies of the frictional resistance to flow in 24-inch and 36-inch concrete pipe. Two types of 36-inch diameter pipe were used in the test. One was of the cast and vibrated type and the other was a machine tamped pipe. Evaluation of frictional losses in the pipe consisted of two parts: due to boundary shear of the walls, and the local losses due to irregularities at the joints. The report establishes that increase in frictional resistance due to joint irregularities is negligible and that the Manning s roughness coefficient for concrete pipe is between 0.009 and 0.010.

The four Standard Installations were developed based on practical construction practices. The installations and design approaches are based on research and testing done over the past 25 years. They contributed to a more rational design procedure for the direct design of buried concrete pipe based on engineering principles followed by the direct design of other reinforced concrete members.

The structural design of concrete pipe is based on a limit state design procedure that accounts for strength and serviceability criteria and is consistent with the procedures in Section 17 of the AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges. The design criteria include: structural aspects, such as circumferential flexure, thrust, shear, and radial tension strengths; crack width control; longitudinal thrust produced by jacking; and requirements for handling and installation.

22 American Concrete Pipe Association ASCE 26-97 Standard Practice for Direct Design of Buried Precast Concrete Box Sections American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000, 51 pp. This Standard covers the direct design of buried one-cell precast reinforced concrete box sections for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, storm water, and drainage, and to serve as tunnels. The design and analysis method accounts for the interaction between the box sections and soil envelope in calculating loads, pressure distributions, moment, thrust, and shear in the box section, and includes a procedure for calculating the required reinforcement. Load effects are determined separately for each loading. The structural design of one-cell precast reinforced concrete box sections is based on a limit state design procedure that accounts for strength and serviceability criteria. The design criteria include: structural aspects, such as flexure, thrust, and shear strengths; handling and installation; fatigue limits; and crack width control. The design of a one-cell precast reinforced concrete box section is based on the assumption that specified design bedding and installation requirements will be achieved during construction of the installation.

The Direct Design Method accounts for the interaction between the box section and soil or grout envelope in determining loads and distribution of earth pressure on buried box sections in addition to longitudinal loads due to jacking. The structural design of concrete box sections is based on a limit state design procedure that accounts for strength and serviceability criteria and is consistent with the procedures in Section 17 of the AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges.

American Concrete Pipe Association 27 Design Method for Reinforced Concrete Pipe and Box Sections F.J. Heger and T.J. McGrath; Simpson, Gumpertz, & Heger, December 1982, 135 pp. A design method based on consideration of strength and serviceability performance limits is proposed for pipe and boxes subject to moments, shears, and thrusts. Strength performance includes consideration of flexural strength as governed by reinforcement tension, concrete compression, concrete radial tension, and stirrup radial tension. Also includes consideration of diagonal tension strength in curved members with and without stirrups. Serviceability performance includes consideration of crack control based on evaluation of a 0.01 inch limiting crack width. Member $29.00 Nonmember $58.00 No. 06-126
