Significance and Use4.1 Structural plate structures functio

20、n structurally as aflexible ring that is supported by and interacts with thecompacted surrounding soil. The soil placed around the struc-ture is thus an integral part of the structural system. It istherefore important to ensure that the soil structure is made upof acceptable material and is well con

21、structed.

22、ewith the specifications for each project, is the most commonbasis for installation of an acceptable structure. Depending onthe backfill used, other qualitative or performance-based meth-ods acceptable to the engineer may also be used. The requireddensity and method of measurement are not specified

23、by thispractice, but must be established in the specifications for eachproject.4.2 Structural plate structures are also occasionally used inalternative applications not requiring soil-structure interactionfor support. Depending on the application the structure mayprovide temporary or permanent suppo

24、rt, confinement,concealment, shielding, or other functions not related tosoil-structure interaction. The nature of support required,design requirements, and proper sizing of the structure will bedetermined by a project design engineer and is not part of thescope of this standard.5. Trench Excavation

25、5.1 To obtain the anticipated structural performance ofstructural plate structures, it is not necessary to control trenchwidth beyond the minimum necessary for proper assembly ofthe structure and placement of the structural backfill. However,the soil on each side beyond the excavated trench must be

26、ableto support anticipated loads. Any sloughed material shall beremoved from the trench or compacted to provide the neces-sary support. When a construction situation calls for a rela-tively wide trench, it may be made as wide as required, for itsfull depth if so desired. However, trench excavation m

27、ust be incompliance with any local, state, and federal codes and safetyregulations.6. Foundation6.1 The supporting soil beneath the structure must provide areasonably uniform resistance to the imposed load, bothlongitudinally and laterally. Sharp variations in the foundationmust be avoided. When roc

28、k is encountered, it must beexcavated and replaced with soil. If the structure is to be placedon a continuous rock foundation, it will be necessary to providea bedding of soil between rock and structure. See Fig. 3.6.2 Lateral changes in foundation should never be such thatthe structure is firmly su

29、pported while the backfill on eitherside is not. When soft material is encountered in the structureexcavation and must be removed to maintain the grade (limitsettlement) of the structure, then it must be removed, usuallyfor a minimum of three structure widths (see Fig. 4). A smallerwidth of removal

30、can sometimes be used if established by theengineer.6.3 Performance of buried structures is enhanced by allow-ing the structure to settle slightly relative to the columns ofearth alongside. Therefore, when significant settlement of theoverall foundation is expected, it is beneficial to provide ayiel

31、ding foundation under structural plate structures.Ayieldingfoundation is one that allows the structure to settle vertically bya greater amount than the vertical settlement of the columns ofearth alongside. It can usually be obtained by placing a layer ofNOTE 1Section B-B is applicable to all continu

This isparticularly important on structures with relatively large-radiusinvert plates.6.4 For

33、 all structures with relatively small-radius cornerplates adjacent to large-radius invert plates (such as pipe-arches or underpass structures), excellent soil support must beprovided adjacent to the small-radius corner plates by both theFIG. 4 Soft Foundation TreatmentFIG. 5 Bedding and Corner Zone

See Figs. 4 and 5.A yielding foundation must be provided beneath the invertplates for such structures when soft foundation conditions areencountered.6.5 The engineer is encouraged to devel

35、op details specific tothe site based on the general principles for foundation condi-tions given in 6.1 through 6.4.7. Bedding7.1 In most cases, structural plate structures may be as-sembled directly on in-situ material fine-graded to properalignment and grade. Take care to compact the materialbeneat

36、h the haunches before placing structural backfill. Mate-rial in contact with the pipe must not contain rock retained ona 3 in. 75 mm diameter ring, frozen lumps, chunks of highlyplastic clay, organic matter, corrosive material, or other delete-rious material. For structures with relatively small-rad

37、iuscorner plates adjacent to large-radius invert plates, it isrecommended to either shape the bedding to the invert plateradius or fine-grade the foundation to a slight V-shape. The soiladjacent to the corners shall be of an excellent quality andhighly compacted to accommodate the high reaction pres

38、suresthat can develop at that location. See Fig. 5.7.2 Structures having a span greater than 15 ft 4.5 m or adepth of cover greater than 20 ft 6 m should be provided witha shaped bedding on a yielding foundation. The bedding shouldbe shaped to facilitate the required compaction of the structuralback

39、fill under the haunches. A shaped bedding on a yieldingfoundation is always required under structures with small-radius corner plates adjacent to large-radius invert plates.8. Assembly8.1 Structural plate structures are furnished in componentsof plates and fasteners for field assembly. These compone

40、ntsare furnished in accordance with Specification A761/A761M.Plates are furnished in various widths and multiple lengths,preformed and punched for assembling into the requiredstructure shape, size, and length. The plate widths form theperiphery of the structure. The various widths and the multiplele

41、ngths can be arranged to allow for staggered seams (longi-tudinal or transverse, or both) to avoid four-plate laps. Thefabricator of the structural plate shall furnish an assemblydrawing showing the location of each plate by width, length,thickness, and curvature. The plates must be assembled inacco

42、rdance with the fabricators drawing.8.2 For structures with inverts, assembly shall begin withthe invert plates at the downstream end. As assembly proceedsupstream, plates that fall fully or partly below the maximumwidth of the structure are lapped over the preceding plates toconstruct the transvers

43、e seams.8.3 Arches have no integral invert and usually rest in specialchannels cast into, or connected to, footings. Channels must beaccurately set to span, line, and grade as shown on thefabricators drawing. When the arch is other than a half circle,the channel must be rotated in the footing to all

44、ow for entranceof the plates. For arches with ends cut on a skew, the basechannels will also be skewed, but properly aligned across thestructure. All pertinent dimensions must be shown on thefabricators drawing. For arch structures, assembly begins atthe upstream end and proceeds downstream, with ea

45、ch suc-ceeding plate lapping on the outside of the previous plate.Plates attached to the footing channel are not self-supportingand will require temporary support. Assemble as few plates aspractical, from the channels toward the top center of thestructure, and complete the periphery to maintain the

46、structureshape.8.4 Generally, structural plate should be assembled with asfew bolts as practical. These bolts should be placed loose andremain loose until the periphery has been completed for severalplate lengths. However, on large structures, it is practical toalign bolt holes during assembly and t

47、ighten the bolts tomaintain structure shape. After the periphery of the structure iscompleted for several plate lengths, all bolts may be placed andtightened. Correct any significant deviation in structure shapebefore tightening bolts (see Section 10). It is advisable not totighten bolts on the loos

48、ely assembled structure within adistance of 30 ft 9 m of where plate assembly is ongoing. Allbolts shall be tightened using an applied torque of between 100and 300 ft-lbf 135 and 405 Nm. It is important not toovertorque the bolts.8.5 Standard structural plate structures, because of thebolted constru

49、ction, are not intended to be watertight. Onoccasions in which a degree of watertightness is required, aseam sealant tape may be used within the bolted seams. Thetape shall be wide enough to effectively cover all rows of holesin plate laps, and of the proper thickness and consistency toeffectively fill all voids in plate laps. General procedures forinstalling sealant tape are as follows: On longitudinal seams,before placing the lapping plate, roll the tape over the seam andwork into the corrugations. Do not stretch the tape. Removeany paper backing before
