Standard Practice for Installing Factory-Made Corrugated Aluminum Culverts and Storm Sewer Pipe

Importancia y uso:

4.1 Corrugated aluminum pipe functions structurally as a flexible ring which is supported by and interacts with the compacted surrounding soil. The soil constructed around the pipe is thus an integral part of the structural system. It is therefore important to ensure that the soil structure or backfill is made up of acceptable material and is well-constructed. Field verification of soil structure acceptability using Test Methods D1556/D1556M, D2167, D2937, or D6938 as applicable, and comparing the results with Test Method D698 in accordance with the specifications for each project, is the most reliable basis for installation of an acceptable structure. The required density and method of measurement are not specified by this practice, but they must be established in the specifications for each project.
