3、e.e1NOTETable 3 was editorially revised in November 2003.1. Scope1.1 This practice establishes procedures for the burial ofpressure and nonpressure “fiberglass” (glass-fiber-reinforcedthermosetting-resin) pipe in many typically encountered soilconditions. Included are recommendations for trenching,
4、plac-ing pipe, joining pipe, placing and compacting backfill, andmonitoring deflection levels. Guidance for installation offiberglass pipe in subaqueous conditions is not included.1.2 Product standards for fiberglass pipe encompass a widerange of product variables. Diameters range from 1 in. to 12 f
5、t(25 mm to 3600 mm) and pipe stiffness range from 9 to over72 psi (60 to 500 kPa) with internal pressure ratings up toseveral thousand pound-force per square inch. This standarddoes not purport to consider all of the possible combinations ofpipe, soil types, and natural ground conditions that may oc
6、cur.The recommendations in this practice may need to be modifiedor expanded to meet the needs of some installation conditions.In particular, fiberglass pipe with diameters of a few inches aregenerally so stiff that they are frequently installed in accor-dance with different guidelines. Consult with
7、the pipe manu-facturer for guidance on which practices are applicable to theseparticular pipes.1.3 The scope of this practice excludes product-performance criteria such as a minimum pipe stiffness, maxi-mum service deflection, or long-term strength. Such param-eters may be contained in product stand

Recommendations forinclusion of this practice in contract documents for a specificproject are
37、given in Appendix X1.5. Materials5.1 ClassificationSoil types used or encountered in bury-ing pipes include those classified in Table 1 and natural,manufactured, and processed aggregates. The soil classifica-tions are grouped into soil-stiffness categories (SC#) in Table 2based on the typical soil s
38、tiffness when compacted. CategorySC1 indicates a soil that generally provides the highest soilstiffness at any given percentage of maximum Proctor density,and a soil that provides a given soil stiffness with the leastcompactive effort. Each higher-number soil-stiffness categoryprovides successively
39、less soil stiffness at a given percentage ofmaximum Proctor density and requires greater compactiveeffort to provide a given level of soil stiffness.NOTE 3See Practices D 2487 and D 2488 for laboratory and fieldvisual-manual procedures for identification of soils.NOTE 4Processed materials produced f
40、or highway construction, in-cluding coarse aggregate, base, subbase, and surface coarse materials,when used for foundation, embedment, and backfill, should be categorizedin accordance with this section and Table 1 in accordance with particlesize and gradation.5.2 Installation and UseTable 3 provides
41、 recommenda-tions on installation and use based on soil-stiffness categoryand location in the trench. Categories SC1 to SC4 should beused as recommended in Table 3. Soil-stiffness Category 5,including clays and silts with liquid limits greater than 50,organic soils, and frozen soils, shall be exclud
42、ed from thepipe-zone embedment.5.2.1 Soil-Stiffness Category 1 (SC1)SC1 materials pro-vide maximum stability and pipe support for a given percentcompaction due to the low content of sand and fines. Withminimum effort these materials can be installed at relativelyhigh-soil stiffnesses over a wide ran
43、ge of moisture contents. Inaddition, the high permeability of SC1 materials may aid in thecontrol of water, and these materials are often desirable forembedment in rock cuts where water is frequently encountered.However, when ground-water flow is anticipated, consider-ation should be given to the po
44、tential for migration of finesfrom adjacent materials into the open-graded SC1 materials.(See 5.5.)5.2.2 Soil-Stiffness Category 2 (SC2)SC2 materials, whencompacted, provide a relatively high level of pipe support;however, open-graded groups may allow migration and thesizes should be checked for com
45、patibility with adjacent mate-rial; see 6.5.5.2.3 Soil-Stiffness Category 3 (SC3)SC3 materials pro-vide less support for a given density than SC1 or SC2materials. Higher levels of compactive effort are required andmoisture content must be near optimum to minimize compac-tive effort and achieve the r
46、equired density. These materialsprovide reasonable levels of pipe support once proper densityis achieved.5.2.4 Soil-Stiffness Category 4 (SC4)SC4 materials re-quire a geotechnical evaluation prior to use. Moisture contentmust be near optimum to minimize compactive effort andachieve the required dens
47、ity. Properly placed and compacted,SC4 materials can provide reasonable levels of pipe support;however, these materials may not be suitable under high fills,surface-applied wheel loads, or under high-energy-level vibra-tory compactors and tampers. Do not use where water condi-tions in the trench may
48、 prevent proper placement and compac-tion.NOTE 5The term “high energy level vibratory compactors andtampers” refers to compaction equipment that might deflect or distort thepipe more than permitted by the specifications or the manufacturer.5.2.5 Soil-Stiffness Category 5 (SC5) SC5 materialsshould be
49、 excluded from pipe-zone embedment.5.3 Moisture Content of Embedment MaterialsThe mois-ture content of embedment materials must be controlled topermit placement and compaction to required levels. Fornon-free draining soils (that is, SC3 and SC4 and someborderline SC2 soils), moisture content is normally controlledto 63 % of optimum (see Test Method D 698). The practicalityof obtaining and maintaining the required limits on moisturecontent is an important criterion for selecting materials, sinceD 3839 02e13failure to achieve required density, esp
