United States14. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is
15、useful as a reference by an owner and the owners engineer in preparing project specifications.5. General5.1 The precast reinforced concrete box section/soil system shall be constructed to conform to the dimensions and requirementsspecified or shown on the plans and to this practice. Additionally, fo
16、r highway projects, the precast reinforced concrete boxsection/soil system shall conform to requirements of Section 27 of AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges orAASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications as appropriate.The owner is advised to provide or require adequate inspectiono
17、f the box section installation at the construction site.6. Excavation6.1 Trenches shall be excavated to the dimensions and grade specified on the plans or as ordered by the owner. The width oftrenches shall be kept to the minimum required for installation of the box sections and proper compaction of
18、 the sidefill.6.2 When ledge rock, compacted rocky, or other unyielding foundation material is encountered, it shall be removed to therequirements shown on the plans. Over-excavated areas shall be backfilled with approved materials specified for the levelingcourse.6.3 The contractor shall make such
19、provisions as required to ensure adequate drainage of the trench to protect the levelingcourse during the construction operations. Where surface water or groundwater conditions exist, the site and trench shall bedewatered.7. Foundation7.1 The foundation shall be moderately firm to hard in situ mater
20、ial, stabilized soil, or compacted fill material.7.2 When unsuitable or unstable material is encountered, the foundation shall be stabilized or removed and replaced with firmand stable foundation material.FIG. 1 Box Section/Installation TerminologyC1675 1827.3 Where groundwater and soil characterist
21、ics contribute to the migration of soil fines into or out of the foundation, levelingcourse, or overfill materials, methods to prevent migration shall be provided.7.4 Box sections installed over an unyielding foundation, including concrete, shall be cushioned so as to prevent non-uniformbearing in a
22、ccordance with Section 8.8. Leveling Course8.1 Aminimum 3 in. (75 mm) leveling course, as shown in Fig. 1, shall be constructed of clean coarse grained soils: USCS SW,SP, GW, GPor any soil beginning with one of those symbols and with 12 % or less passing a #200 (75 m) sieve (AASHTO M145,A-1, A-3). T
23、he nominal maximum aggregate size shall not be greater than 1 in. (25 mm) (#57 aggregate). In the event that theleveling course consists of layers with the upper layer being clean, uncompacted sand, that layer shall be a maximum thicknessof 2 in. (50 mm) to prevent non-uniform settlement from person
24、nel and equipment during the installation process.8.2 In situ material that provide a suitable leveling course in accordance with this practice shall be acceptable.8.3 If rock strata or boulders are encountered under the box section within the limits of the required leveling course, the rockor bould
25、ers shall be removed and replaced with additional leveling course material.8.4 A concrete slab is not an appropriate leveling course.9. Box Section Placement and Joining9.1 Box sections shall be installed to the line and grade shown in the contract documents. Joining shall be in accordance withthe b
26、ox section manufacturers recommendations.NOTE 1(Advisory): Work should be started at the lowest end of the box section line, and with the bell or groove end pointing upstream, laying spigotsinto bells where applicable.9.2 Adjustments in grade by exerting force on the box section with excavating equi
27、pment or by lifting and dropping the boxsection shall be prohibited. If the installed box section is not on grade, the box section shall be completely unjoined, the gradecorrected, and the box section then rejoined.9.3 Proper facilities and equipment shall be provided for hoisting and lowering the b
28、ox sections without disturbing the levelingcourse and the sides of the excavation or damaging the box sections.9.4 The ends of the box sections shall be free of any deleterious materials that would prevent proper joining or sealing ofadjacent sections.9.5 The box section shall be joined so that when
29、 laid on the leveling course, it shall form a smooth, uniform line of sections.NOTE 2(Advisory): Proper equipment, such as a come-along or puller, should be utilized to join the sections together.9.6 Unless designed otherwise, multiple box sections in parallel multi-cell installations require positi
30、ve lateral bearing betweenthe sides of adjacent box sections. Compacted granular backfill, flowable fill, or grouting between the sections are consideredmeans of providing positive bearing.NOTE 3(Advisory): Continuous, uniform contact between the backfill material and the sides of adjacent boxes is
31、necessary to achieve positive lateralbearing. The designer should define and detail the appropriate spacing between the multiple cells to facilitate the installation and compaction, if necessary,of the specified material that is to be placed between the sides of the adjacent boxes.9.7 Precast reinfo
32、rced concrete box sections shall be handled with reasonable care. If dragging sections causes damage, thenthis practice shall be discontinued. Care shall be taken to prevent box sections from striking rock or other hard objects duringplacement.9.8 Each joint shall be sealed to prevent migration of s
33、oil fines as specified in the project specifications and installed inaccordance with the manufacturers recommendations.9.9 If required by the contract documents, each joint shall meet the specified infiltration and exfiltration requirements.9.10 Unless otherwise approved by the owner, surcharge load
34、s and loads from construction equipment transferred to a boxsection before, during, or after fill placement, either directly or through the fill, shall not be greater than the loads assumed in thedesign (see Section 14, Adequate Protection from Surcharge and Construction Loads).10. Sidefill10.1 When
35、 the soil-structure interaction factor used in the design is based on compacted fill at the sides of the box, the sidefillshall be as required by the contract documents, but not less than clean, coarse-grained soils (USCS SW, SP, GW, GP or AASHTOM145,A-1,A-3), or coarse-grained soils with fines (USC
36、S GM, GC, SM, SC orAASHTO M145,A-2-4,A-2-5,A-2-6) compactedto at least 85 % Standard Proctor (see Test Methods D698). The sidefill shall be brought up on both sides of the box section suchthat placement will not disjoint or create lateral movement of the box section.C1675 18310.2 When the soil-struc
37、ture interaction factor used in the design is not based on compacted fill at the sides of the box section,the use of native soils is acceptable. Sidefill shall be free of debris, organic matter, frozen material or large stones with a diametergreater than 3 in. (75 mm).10.3 Ponding or jetting to comp
38、act the sidefill shall be permitted only where soil conditions permit free drainage and only withthe approval of the owner.11. Overfill11.1 Overfill shall be constructed as specified. Overfill material shall be placed in layers with no greater than the maximumthickness specified and compacted to the
39、 required density.11.2 The soil shall be approved material containing no debris, organic matter, frozen material, or large stones with a diametergreater than one-half the thickness of the compacted layers being placed or 3 in. (75 mm), whichever is less.11.3 When impact or vibratory equipment is use
40、d for compaction, care shall be taken in accordance with the manufacturersrecommendations, to avoid damaging the box sections.12. Sheathing Removal and Trench Shield Advancement12.1 Unless sheathing is to be left in place, it shall be pulled out in vertical increments to permit placement and compact
41、ionof fill material for the full width of the trench.12.2 When trench shields or boxes are moved, the previously placed box section shall not be disturbed. If such disturbanceoccurs, deadman anchors or other means shall be used to restrain previously placed box sections. Voids in the sidefill that a
42、recreated by movement of a shield or box shall be filled and compacted in accordance with Section 10 of this practice.13. Precast Concrete Appurtenances13.1 Manholes, pipe, junction boxes, and other adjoining appurtenances shall be installed in a manner that will minimizedifferential settlement betw
43、een the box section and appurtenance.13.2 Precast concrete fittings, such as tees and wyes, shall be bedded, installed, and overfilled with the same material and inthe same manner as the precast concrete box sections to prevent differential settlement between box section and fittings.14. Adequate Pr
44、otection from Surcharge and Construction Loads14.1 Construction procedures, such as heavy equipment movement or stockpiling of material over or adjacent to a box structure,can induce highergreater live or surcharge loads than those used for the structures final design. The installer is cautioned to
45、ensurethese added loadings have been included in the final design of the furnished box structure.These construction and surcharge loadsare allowable as long as the final steel areas Construction loads shall be considered in design if construction equipment must passover the boxes during project cons
46、truction. If necessary, compacted overfill in the form of a ramp in the box are greater than thoserequired for the construction phase. If necessary, a designated temporary crossing of compacted overfill shall be constructed overthe top of the box section such that the equipment load on the box secti
47、on does not exceed the box section design strength. Theramp designated temporary crossing profile shall be free of abrupt changes in grade that would cause concentrated loads or preventthe uniform distribution of loads through all axles of passing equipment. In an embankment installation, the overfi
48、ll shall extenda minimum of one box section span or 3 ft (900 mm), whichever is greater, beyond each side of the box section to prevent possiblelateral displacement of the box section. If a large volume of construction traffic must cross an installed line of box sections, thepoint of crossing shall
49、be changed occasionally to minimize the possibility of lateral displacement.NOTE 4Prior to installation, the installer is cautioned to ensure construction and surcharge (for example, stockpiling, MSE walls, temporary loads)loadings do not exceed the final design of the furnished box structure.15. Safety15.1 Safety requirements for construction shall be in accordance with the applicable federal, state, and local regulations.16.
