These recommendations are in-tended to ensure a stable underground environment for ther-moplastic pipe under a w
4、ide range of service conditions.However, because of the numerous flexible plastic pipe prod-ucts available and the inherent variability of natural groundconditions, achieving satisfactory performance of any oneproduct may require modification to provisions containedherein to meet specific project re
5、quirements.1.2 The scope of this practice necessarily excludes productperformance criteria such as minimum pipe stiffness, maxi-mum service deflection, or long term strength. Thus, it isincumbent upon the product manufacturer, specifier, or projectengineer to verify and assure that the pipe specifie

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 so
33、il classifications in Table 2 based onthe typical soil stiffness when compacted. Class I indicates asoil that generally provides the highest soil stiffness at anygiven percent compaction, and provides a given soil stiffnesswith the least compactive effort. Each higher-number soil classprovides succe
34、ssively less soil stiffness at a given percentcompaction and requires greater compactive effort to provide agiven level of soil stiffnessNOTE 4See Practices D2487 and D2488 for laboratory and fieldvisual-manual procedures for identification of soils.NOTE 5Processed materials produced for highway con
35、struction,including 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 recommenda-tion
36、s on installation and use based on soil classification andlocation in the trench. Soil Classes I to IV should be used asrecommended in Table 3. Soil Class V, including clays and siltswith liquid limits greater than 50, organic soils, and frozensoils, shall be excluded from the pipe-zone embedment.5.
37、2.1 Class IClass I materials provide maximum stabilityand pipe support for a given percent compaction due to the lowcontent of sand and fines. With minimum effort these materialscan be installed at relatively high-soil stiffnesses over a widerange of moisture contents. In addition, the high permeabi
38、lityof Class I materials may aid in the control of water, and thesematerials are often desirable for embedment in rock cuts wherewater is frequently encountered. However, when ground-waterflow is anticipated, consideration should be given to thepotential for migration of fines from adjacent material
39、s into theopen-graded Class I materials. (See X1.8.)5.2.2 Class IIClass II materials, when compacted, providea relatively high level of pipe support; however, open-gradedgroups may allow migration and the sizes should be checkedfor compatibility with adjacent material. (See X1.8.)5.2.3 Class IIIClas
40、s III materials provide less support fora given percent compaction than Class I or Class II materials.Higher levels of compactive effort are required and moisturecontent must be near optimum to minimize compactive effortand achieve the required percent compaction. These materialsprovide reasonable l
41、evels of pipe support once proper percentcompaction is achieved.5.2.4 Class IVClass IV materials require a geotechnicalevaluation prior to use. Moisture content must be near opti-mum to minimize compactive effort and achieve the requiredpercent compaction. Properly placed and compacted, Class IVmate
42、rials 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 prevent proper placement and compac-tion.N
43、OTE 6The 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 Class VClass V materials should be excluded frompipe-zone embedment.5.3 Moisture Content of Embed
44、ment MaterialsThe mois-ture content of embedment materials must be controlled topermit placement and compaction to required levels. For soilswith low permeability (that is, Class III and Class IV and someborderline Class II soils), moisture content is normally con-trolled to 6 3 % of optimum (see Te
45、st Method D698). Thepracticality of obtaining and maintaining the required limits onmoisture content is an important criterion for selectingmaterials, since failure to achieve required percent compaction,especially in the pipe zone embedment, may result in excessivedeflection.5.4 Maximum Particle Si
46、zeMaximum particle size forembedment is limited to material passing a 112-in. (37.5-mm)sieve (see Table 2). To enhance placement around smalldiameter pipe and to prevent damage to the pipe wall, a smallermaximum size may be required (see X1.9). When final backfillcontains rocks, cobbles, etc., the e
47、ngineer may require greaterinitial backfill cover levels (see Fig. 1).6. Trench Excavation6.1 GeneralProcedures for trench excavation that areespecially important in flexible thermoplastic pipe installationsare given herein.6.1.1 ExcavationExcavate trenches to ensure that sideswill be stable under a
48、ll working conditions. Slope trench wallsor provide supports in conformance with all local and nationalstandards for safety. Open only as much trench as can be safelymaintained by available equipment. Backfill all trenches assoon as practicable, but not later than the end of each workingday.6.2 Wate
49、r ControlDo not lay or embed pipe in standing orrunning water. At all times prevent runoff and surface waterfrom entering the trench.6.2.1 Ground WaterWhen groundwater is present in thework area, dewater to maintain stability of in-situ and importedmaterials. Maintain water level below pipe bedding and foun-dation to provide a stable trench bottom. Use, as appropriate,sump pumps, well points, deep wells, geofabrics, perforatedunderdrains, or stone blankets of sufficient thickness to removeand control water in the trench. When excavating wh
