The fieldsupporting strength of a pipe is defined as its capacity tosupport dead and live loads under actual field co

8、nditions. It isdependent upon two factors: (1) the inherent strength of thepipe and (2) the bedding of the pipe.4.2 The minimum bearing strength requirement in accor-dance with Specification C700, as determined by the 3-edge-bearing test of Test Methods C301, is a measure of the inherentstrength of

9、the pipe.4.3 The tests used to measure bearing strength determinerelative pipe strengths but do not represent actual field condi-tions. Therefore, an adjustment called a load factor is intro-duced to convert minimum bearing strength to field supportingstrength. The magnitude of the load factor depen

The relationship is:Field supporting strength 5 minimum bearing strength 3 load factor4.4 A factor of safety greater than 1.0 and less than or equalto 1.5 shall be applied to the field supporting strength tocalculate a safe supporting strength.

External Loads5.1 The external loads on installed vitrified clay pipe are oftwo general types: (1) dead loads and (2) live loads.5.2 For pipes installed in trenches at a given depth, the deadload increases as the trench width, measured

12、at the top of thepipe, increases. Consequently, the trench width at the top of thepipe shall be kept as narrow as possible. Pipe failure may resultif the design trench width is exceeded. If the trench widthexceeds the design width, a higher class of bedding, strongerpipe, or both, must be investigat

Live loads may be produced by wheelloading, construction equipment or by compactive effort.Compaction of embedment and backfill materials, beside andabove the sewer pipe, produces a temporary live load on the1This

The magnitude of the live load from compactive effortvaries with soil type, degree of saturation, degree of compac-tion and depth of cover over the pipe. Care must be used inselection of compaction methods

Trench Excavation7.1 Trenches shall be excavated to a width that will provideadequate working space, but not more than the maximumdesign width. Trench walls shall not be undercut.7.2 The trench walls ca

42、n be sloped to reduce trench wallfailure. This sloping will not increase the load on the pipeprovided the measured trench width at top of pipe does notexceed the design trench width.7.3 Trenches, other than for Class D bedding, shall beexcavated to provide space for the pipe bedding.7.4 Sheet, shore

43、, and brace trenches, as necessary, to pre-vent caving or sliding of trench walls, to provide protection forworkmen and the pipe, and to protect adjacent structures andfacilities.7.5 Sheeting shall not be removed below the top of the pipeif the resulting slope of native soil increases the trench wid

44、th tosuch an extent that the load on the pipe exceeds the safe fieldsupporting strength of the pipe and bedding system.7.6 When a movable box is used in place of sheeting orshoring, secure the installed pipe to prevent it from movingwhen the box is moved.7.7 Maintain the water level in the trench to

45、 an elevationbelow the bell of the pipe being laid. Exercise caution whenterminating the dewatering procedure to avoid disturbing thepipe installation.NOTE 7The purpose of controlling the water in the trench is tomaintain the lubricant on the joint surfaces, the integrity of the bell hole,and the ab

46、ility to visually observe the cleanliness of the joint surfaces.8. Trench Foundation8.1 The trench foundation is the area below the pipe andbedding which supports the pipe bedding structure.8.2 The trench foundation shall be firm and unyielding.9. Pipe Bedding9.1 Bell holes shall be excavated to pre

47、vent point loading ofthe bells or couplings of laid pipe, and to establish full-lengthsupport of the pipe barrel (Fig. 8).9.2 Bedding shall be placed so that the pipe is true to lineand grade and to provide uniform and continuous support ofthe pipe barrel.10. Pipe Handling10.1 Pipe and fittings shal

48、l be handled carefully to protectfrom damage.10.2 Carefully examine each pipe and fitting before instal-lation, for soundness and specification compliance. Pipe ac-cepted may be plainly marked by the inspector. Rejected pipeshall not be defaced, but shall be replaced with pipe that meetsspecificatio

49、n.10.3 Handle pipe so that premolded jointing surfaces orattached couplings do not support the weight of the pipe. Donot damage the jointing surfaces or couplings by dragging,contact with hard materials, or by use of hooks.11. Pipe Laying11.1 Clean joint contact surfaces immediately prior tojoining. Use joint lubricants and joining methods, as recom-mended by the pipe manufacturer.11.2 Unless otherwise required, lay all pipe straight betweenchanges in alignment and at uniform grade between changes inTABLE 1 Joint Deflection LimitsNOTE 1For calculating the
