18、 areconducive to particle migration. Gravelly soils, with little or nofines, could migrate under certain conditions, causing lack ofsupport.8.4 Pipe installed over an unyielding foundation shall becushioned so as to prevent blasting shock when future blastingis anticipated in the area.9. Bedding9.1
19、The bedding shall be constructed uniformly over the fulllength of the pipe barrel, as required for the designatedstandard installation, to distribute the load-bearing reactionuniformly on the pipe barrel over its full length, and tomaintain the required pipe grade.

The joint shall be asspecified in the project specifications and shall be installed inaccordance with the pipe manufacturers recommendatio
25、ns.NOTE 1(Advisory) Where practical, work should be started at thelowest end of the pipeline and the pipe laid with the bell end upgrade.10.2 If required, the top of the pipe section being laid shallbe positioned to the correct rotational orientation and thenjoined.10.3 The bedding grade under the m
26、iddle third of the pipeoutside diameter shall be prepared before laying the pipesection. Making adjustments in grade by exerting force on thebarrel of the pipe with excavating equipment, by lifting anddropping the pipe, or by lifting the pipe and packing beddingmaterial under it shall be prohibited.
27、 If the installed pipesection is not on grade, the pipe section shall be completelyunjoined, the grade corrected, and the pipe then rejoined.11. Haunch11.1 The haunch shall be constructed using the specified soiltype and the minimum compaction level required for thedesignated standard installation.
28、It shall be placed and com-pacted uniformly for the full length of the pipe barrel so as todistribute the load-bearing reaction uniformly to the beddingover the full length of the pipe barrel. If placed in layers, thethickness of the layers shall be as required to achieve thespecified compaction and
29、 as required by the project specifica-tions.11.2 The maximum aggregate size for the haunch shall bethe same as the maximum aggregate size in the bedding asdefined in 9.3, except as noted in 11.3.11.3 When in situ soils conforming to project specificationsare used in constructing the pipe haunches fo
30、r Type 3 and 4installations, the maximum aggregate size shall not be greaterthan 75 mm.11.4 The use of aggregate sizes larger than 25 mm shall belimited to 20 % of the haunch material by weight.FIG. 2 Standard Embankment InstallationsC 1479M 07a311.5 Placed soil shall be deposited and compacted to t
31、hespecified density uniformly on each side of the pipe to preventlateral displacement of the pipe.12. Lower Side12.1 The lower side, if not in situ, shall be constructed usingthe specified soil type and the minimum compaction levelrequired for the designated standard installation. If placed inlayers
32、, the thickness of the layers shall be as required toachieve the specified compaction and as required by the projectspecifications.12.2 The soil, if not in situ, shall be material conforming tothe project specifications, and contain no debris, organicmatter, frozen material, or large stones with a d
33、iameter greaterthan one half the thickness of the compacted layers beingplaced.12.3 Placed soil shall be deposited and compacted to thespecified density uniformly on each side of the pipe to preventlateral displacement of the pipe.13. Overfill13.1 Overfill shall be constructed as specified in the pr
34、ojectspecifications. If placed in layers, the thickness of the layersshall be as required to achieve the specified compaction and asrequired by the project specifications.13.2 The soil shall be material conforming to the projectspecifications, and contain no debris, organic matter, frozenmaterial, o
35、r large stones with a diameter greater than one halfthe thickness of the compacted layers being placed.13.3 Placed soil shall be deposited and compacted to thespecified density uniformly on each side of the pipe to preventlateral displacement of the pipe. The overfill placed within oneoutside diamet
36、er of the pipe that is above the springline andbelow the top of the pipe shall be compacted to at least thesame density as the majority of the overfill above the pipe.13.4 When impact or vibratory equipment is used forcompaction, care shall be taken to avoid damaging the pipe.14. Sheathing Removal a
37、nd Trench Shield Advancement14.1 Unless sheathing is to be left in place, it shall be pulledout in vertical increments to permit placement and compactionof fill material for the full width of the trench.14.2 When trench shields or boxes are moved, the previ-ously placed pipe shall not be disturbed.
38、The owner is advisedthat it may be necessary to restrain the installed pipe by use ofNOTEClearance between pipe and trench wall shall be adequate to enable specified compaction but not less than Do/6.FIG. 3 Standard Trench InstallationsC 1479M 07a4deadman anchors or other means. Voids that are creat
39、ed bymovement of a shield or box shall be filled and compacted.15. Precast Concrete Appurtenances15.1 Manholes shall be installed in a manner that willminimize differential settlement between the pipe and man-hole.15.2 Precast concrete fittings, such as tees and wyes, shallbe bedded, installed, and
40、overfilled with the same material andin the same manner as the remainder of the pipeline to reducethe possibility of differential settlement between pipe andfittings.16. Minimum Cover for Construction Loads16.1 If the passage of construction equipment over aninstalled pipeline is necessary during pr
41、oject construction,compacted overfill in the form of a ramp shall be constructedto a minimum elevation of 0.9 m over the top of the pipe or toa height such that the equipment loads on the pipe do notexceed the pipe design strength. To prevent possible lateraldisplacement of the pipe when the existin
42、g ground is higher orlower than the top of this ramp, the overfill shall extend aminimum of one pipe diameter width or 0.9 m, whichever isgreater, beyond each side of the pipe and then have a gradualslope to ground level, not exceeding 1 vertical to 6 horizontal.If a large volume of construction tra
43、ffic must cross an installedpipe, the point of crossing shall be changed occasionally tominimize the possibility of lateral displacement.17. Safety17.1 Safety requirements for construction shall be in accor-dance with the applicable federal, state, and local regulations.17.2 Open ends of installed p
44、ipe shall be covered duringovernight or longer periods of suspended work to preventaccess by animals, personnel, and accumulation of soil anddebris. Covers shall be braced or fastened to prevent move-ment. It is not required that these covers be watertight.NOTE 2(Advisory) If the pipe is plugged wat
45、ertight when empty, thepossibility of pipe flotation should be investigated, and, if necessary,appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent flotation.TABLE 1 Standard Embankment Installation Soils and Minimum Compaction RequirementsNOTE 1Compaction and soil symbols (that is, 95 % Category I), refe
