16、med to establish that the finished,shippable pipe has sufficient strength to withstand the crushingloads stated in the specifications or a proof of design testperformed to prove the adequacy of design.4.3 Apparatus:4.3.1 The testing machine shall be of any type of sufficientcapacity and shall be cap

17、able of providing the rate of loadingprescribed in 4.5.3.4.3.2 The testing machine shall be substantial and rigidthroughout, so that the distribution of the load will not beaffected appreciably by the deformation or yielding of any part.4.3.3 The three-edge-bearing method of loading shall beused. Th

18、e test specimen shall be supported on a lower bearingof two parallel longitudinal strips and the load applied throughan upper bearing (Figs. 1-4). At the option of the manufacturer,either or both the lower bearing and the upper bearing shallextend the full length or any portion of the length of thes

19、pecimen. Fig. 54.3.4 The lower bearings shall consist of wood or hardrubber strips. Wooden strips shall be straight, have a crosssection of not less than 2 in. in width and not less than 1 in. normore than 112 in. in height and shall have the top inside cornersrounded to a radius of12 in. Hard rubbe

20、r strips shall have adurometer hardness of not less than 45 nor more than 60. Theyshall be rectangular in cross section, having a width of not lessthan 2 in., a thickness of not less than 1 in. nor more than 112in., and shall have the top inside corner rounded to a radius of12 in.4.3.5 The lower bea

21、ring strips shall be fastened to a woodenor steel beam or directly to a concrete base, any of which shallprovide sufficient rigidity so that deflection is not greater than1720 of the specimen length when the maximum load is applied.The rigid base shall be at least 6 in. wide. The interior verticalsi

22、des of the strips shall be parallel and spaced a distance apartof not more than 1 in./ft of specimen diameter, but in no caseless than 1 in. The bearing faces of the lower strips shall notvary from a straight line vertically or horizontally by more than132 in./ft of length under no load.4.3.6 The up

The width of thefillet cap, upper or lower, shall be not more than 1 in./ft of thespecimen diameter, but in no case less than 1 in.4.3.8 The equipment shall be so designed that the load willbe distributed about the center of the over

The load shall be applied either ata single point or at multiple points dependent on the length ofthe specimen being tested and

28、the rigidity of the test frame.NOTE 1The user of these test methods is advised that multiple pointsof load appllications to the upper bearing will permit use of lighter beamswithout excessive deflection.4.4 CalibrationThe loading device shall be one whichshall provide an accuracy of 62 % at the spec

29、ified test loads.A calibration curve shall be used. The machines used forperforming the three-edge-bearing tests shall be verified inaccordance with Practices E4.4.5 Procedure:4.5.1 Place the specimen on the two lower bearing strips insuch a manner that the pipe or tile rests firmly and with uniform

30、bearing on each strip.4.5.2 Mark the two ends of the specimen at a point midwaybetween the lower bearing strips and then establish thediametrically opposite point on each end. Place the upperbearing so that it is aligned with these marks.4.5.3 For reinforced concrete pipe, any rate of load appli-cat

31、ion up to a maximum of 7500 lbf/linear foot of pipe perminute shall be used up to 75 % of the specified designstrength, at which time the rate of loading shall be reduced toa maximum uniform rate of13 of the specified design strengthof the pipe per minute. This rate of loading shall be continuousunt

32、il the specified acceptance design strength is reached. Ifboth the design strength and the ultimate strength are beingdetermined, a specified rate of loading need not be maintainedafter the acceptance design strength has been reached. Fornon-reinforced concrete pipe, any rate of load application up

33、toa maximum of 7500 lbf/linear foot of pipe per minute shall beused up to 75 % of the specified ultimate strength, at whichtime the rate of loading shall be reduced to the maximumuniform rate of 3000 lbf/linear foot of pipe per minute. At themanufacturers option, the rates of loading in this paragra

34、phshall be any rates that do not exceed the specified maximums.4.5.4 As defined in Terminology C822, the design strengthis the maximum load, expressed as a D-load, supported by thepipe before a crack having a width of 0.01 in. occursthroughout a continuous length of 1 ft or more measuredparallel to

35、the longitudinal axis of pipe barrel. The crack is 0.01in. in width when the point of the measuring gauge will,without forcing, penetrate116 in. at 3 in. maximum intervals,throughout the specified distance of 1 ft. Measure the width ofthe crack by means of a gauge made from a leaf 0.01 in. inthickne

For pipe having a spigot on one endwith the opposite end being plain, the manufactured length (L)shall be the distance from the pl

For pipe having a bell on one end with the opposite endbeing plain, the manufactured length (L) shall be the distancefrom the plain end to the bell inside shoulder. See TerminologyC822 for definitions of manufactured length (L) and overalllength (L1).4.7.2 The ulti

44、mate strength in pounds per linear foot shall becalculated by dividing the maximum test load applied to thepipe by the manufactured length (L).4.7.3 The D-load strength in pounds per linear foot per footof inside diameter or horizontal span shall be either the 0.01-in.crack D-load strength or the ul

45、timate D-load strength. The0.01-in. crack D-load shall be calculated by dividing the testload required to produce the 0.01-in. crack by the manufac-tured length (L) and by the pipe inside diameter or horizontalspan. The ultimate D-load strength shall be calculated bydividing the ultimate test load a

46、pplied to the pipe by themanufactured length, (L), and by the pipe inside diameter orhorizontal span.4.8 Precision and BiasThe user of these test methods isadvised that the true value for the strength of a concrete pipecannot be determined because the specimen is tested todestruction and exact dupli

47、cate specimen cannot be obtained.Therefore, no calculations of precision and bias are presentlycapable of being performed. Specifications that include this testmethod for the various types of concrete pipe should include aprovision for additional tests of one or more specimens.5. Flat Slab Top Test
