At the optionof the manufacturer, either or both the lower bearing and theupper bearing shall extend the full length or any portion of thelength of the specimen.4.3.4 The lower bearings

Wooden strips shall be straight, have a crosssection of not less than 50 mm in width and not less than 25mm nor more than 38 mm in height and shall have the topinside corners rounded to a radius of 13 mm. Hard rubber stripsshall have a durometer hardness o

26、the upper and lower bearings. The width ofthe fillet cap, upper or lower, shall be not more than 80 mm/mof the specimen diameter, but in no case less than 25 mm.4.3.8 The equipment shall be so designed that the load willbe distributed about the center of the overall length (L1)ofthespecimen (Fig. 1,

The load shallbe applied either at a single point or at multiple pointsdependent on the length of the specimen being tested and therigidity o
28、f the test frame.NOTE 1The user of these test methods is advised that multiple pointsof load applications 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 specified test load
29、s.A calibration curve shall be used. The machines used forperforming the three-edge-bearing tests shall be verified inaccordance with Practices E4.4.5 ConditioningThe moisture requirements of 1.3 are notrequired, at the option of the manufacturer.4.6 Procedure:4.6.1 Place the specimen on the two low
30、er bearing strips insuch a manner that the pipe or tile rests firmly and with uniformbearing on each strip.4.6.2 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 al
31、igned with these marks.4.6.3 For reinforced concrete pipe, any rate or load appli-cation up to a maximum of 109.4 kN/linear metre 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 of 43.8 kN/linear
32、metre of pipe perminute. If both the design strength and the ultimate strength arebeing determined, a specified rate of loading need not bemaintained after the design strength has been reached. Fornonreinforced concrete pipe, any rate of load application up toa maximum of 109.4 kN/linear metre of pi
33、pe per minute shallbe used up to 75 % of the specified ultimate strength, at whichtime the rate of loading shall be reduced to the maximumuniform rate of 43.8 kN/linear metre of pipe per minute.4.6.4 As defined in Terminology C822, the design strengthis the maximum load, expressed as a D-load, suppo

The length used in calculating thestrength values shall be that indicated by the manufacturedlength (L)in
40、Figs. 1-4. For pipe with a bell, the manufacturedlength (L) is the length from the spigot/tongue end face to thebell/groove inside shoulder. For straight wall pipe, no bell, themanufactured length (L) is the same as for pipe with a bell orthe alternate of the length from the spigot/tongue outsidesho
41、ulder to the socket/groove end face. For plain end or cutpipe, no bell or spigot, the manufactured length (L) is the sameas the overall length (L1). For pipe having a spigot on one endwith the opposite end being plain, the manufactured length (L)shall be the distance from the plain end to the center
42、 of thejoint. 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 ultimate strength in poun
43、ds per linear metre shallbe calculated by dividing the maximum test load applied to thepipe by the manufactured length, (L).4.7.3 The D-load strength in newtons per linear metre permillimetre of inside diameter or horizontal span shall be eitherthe 0.3-mm crack D-load strength or the ultimate D-load
44、strength. The 0.3-mm crack D-load shall be calculated bydividing the test load required to produce the 0.3-mm crack bythe manufactured length, (L), and by the pipe inside diameteror horizontal span. The ultimate D-load strength shall becalculated by dividing the ultimate test load applied to the pip
45、eby the manufactured length, (L), and by the pipe insidediameter or horizontal 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 duplicate specimens ca
46、nnot be obtained.Therefore, no calculations of precision and bias are presentlypossible. Specifications that include this test method for thevarious types of concrete pipe should include a provision foradditional tests of one or more specimens.5.
