14、Crushing Strength Test by the Three-Edge Bearing Test Method4.1 Summary of Test MethodThe test specimen is tested in a machine designed to apply a crushing force upon the specimenin a plane through the vertical axis extending along the length of the specimen.4.2 Significance and UseThe crushing test
15、 shall be either a quality control test performed to establish that the finished,shippable pipe has sufficient strength to withstand the crushing loads stated in the specifications or a proof of design test performedto prove the adequacy of design.4.3 Apparatus:4.3.1 The testing machine shall be of
16、any type of sufficient capacity and shall be capable of providing the rate of loadingprescribed in 4.5.3.4.3.2 The testing machine shall be substantial and rigid throughout, so that the distribution of the load will not be affectedappreciably by the deformation or yielding of any part.4.3.3 The thre
17、e-edge-bearing method of loading shall be used. The test specimen shall be supported on a lower bearing of twoparallel longitudinal strips and the load applied through an upper bearing (Figs. 1-4). At the option of the manufacturer, either orboth the lower bearing and the upper bearing shall extend
18、the full length or any portion of the length of the specimen. Fig. 54.3.4 The lower bearings shall consist of wood or hard rubber strips. Wooden strips shall be straight, have a cross section ofnot less than 2 in. in width and not less than 1 in. nor more than 112 in. in height and shall have the to
19、p inside corners roundedto a radius of 12 in. Hard rubber strips shall have a durometer hardness of not less than 45 nor more than 60. They shall berectangular in cross section, having a width of not less than 2 in., a thickness of not less than 1 in. nor more than 112 in., and shallhave the top ins
20、ide corner rounded to a radius of 12 in.4.3.5 The lower bearing strips shall be fastened to a wooden or steel beam or directly to a concrete base, any of which shallprovide sufficient rigidity so that deflection is not greater than 1720 of the specimen length when the maximum load is applied. Therig
21、id base shall be at least 6 in. wide. The interior vertical sides of the strips shall be parallel and spaced a distance apart of notmore than 1 in./ft of specimen diameter, but in no case less than 1 in. The bearing faces of the lower strips shall not vary froma straight line vertically or horizonta
22、lly by more than 132 in./ft of length under no load.4.3.6 The upper bearing shall be a rigid wood beam with or without an attached hard rubber strip. The wood shall be sound,free of knots, and straight and true from end to end. It shall be fastened to a steel or wood-faced steel beam of such dimensi
23、onsthat deflections under maximum load will not be greater than 1720 of the specimen length. The bearing face of the upper bearingshall not deviate from a straight line by more than 132 in.ft of length. When a hard rubber strip is used on the bearing face it shallhave a durometer hardness of not les
24、s than 45 nor more than 60, and shall have a width of not less than 2 in. and a thickness ofnot less than 1 in. nor more than 112 in. and shall be secured to a wood beam meeting the above requirements.4.3.7 If mutually agreed upon by the manufacturer and the owner prior to the test, before the speci
25、men is placed, a fillet ofplaster of paris not exceeding 1 in. in thickness shall be cast on the surface of the upper and lower bearings. The width of the filletcap, upper or lower, shall be not more than 1 in./ft of the specimen diameter, but in no case less than 1 in.4.3.8 The equipment shall be s
26、o designed that the load will be distributed about the center of the overall length (L1) of thespecimen (Figs. 1-4). At the option of the manufacturer, the center of the load shall be applied at any point of the overall length(L1) of the specimen. The load shall be applied either at a single point o
27、r at multiple points dependent on the length of the specimenbeing tested and the rigidity of the test frame.NOTE 1The user of these test methods is advised that multiple points of load appllications to the upper bearing will permit use of lighter beamswithout excessive deflection.4.4 CalibrationThe
28、loading device shall be one which shall provide an accuracy of 62 % at the specified test loads. Acalibration curve shall be used. The machines used for performing the three-edge-bearing tests shall be verified in accordance withPractices E4.4.5 Procedure:4.5.1 Place the specimen on the two lower be
29、aring strips in such a manner that the pipe or tile rests firmly and with uniformbearing on each strip.4.5.2 Mark the two ends of the specimen at a point midway between the lower bearing strips and then establish the diametricallyopposite point on each end. Place the upper bearing so that it is alig
30、ned with these marks.4.5.3 For reinforced concrete pipe, any rate of load application up to a maximum of 7500 lbf/linear foot of pipe per minute shallbe used up to 75 % of the specified design strength, at which time the rate of loading shall be reduced to a maximum uniform rateof 13 of the specifie
31、d design strength of the pipe per minute. This rate of loading shall be continuous until the specified acceptancedesign strength is reached. If both the design strength and the ultimate strength are being determined, a specified rate of loadingneed not be maintained after the acceptance design stren
32、gth has been reached. For non-reinforced concrete pipe, any rate of loadapplication up to a maximum of 7500 lbf/linear foot of pipe per minute shall be used up to 75 % of the specified ultimate strength,C497 162at which time the rate of loading shall be reduced to the maximum uniform rate of 3000 lb
33、f/linear foot of pipe per minute. At themanufacturers option, the rates of loading in this paragraph shall be any rates that do not exceed the specified maximums.4.5.4 As defined in Terminology C822, the design strength is the maximum load, expressed as a D-load, supported by the pipebefore a crack
34、having a width of 0.01 in. occurs throughout a continuous length of 1 ft or more measured parallel to the longitudinalaxis of pipe barrel. The crack is 0.01 in. in width when the point of the measuring gage will, without forcing, penetrate 116 in. atclose intervals throughout the specified distance
35、of 1 ft. Measure the width of the crack by means of a gage made from a leaf 0.01in. in thickness (as in a set of standard machinist gages), ground to a point of 116 in. in width with corners rounded and with ataper of 14 in.in. as shown in Fig. 6.NOTE 2As used in this specification, the 0.01-in. cra
36、ck is a test criterion for pipe under load in three-edge bearing test and is not intended as anindication of overstressed or failed pipe under installed conditions.NOTE 1The figures illustrate a method of applying the load to the pipe.FIG. 1 Three-Edge-Bearing Test, Circular PipeC497 1634.5.5 As def
37、ined in Terminology C822, the ultimate strength is the maximum load supported by the pipe.NOTE 3Ultimate strength of concrete pipe in the buried condition is dependent on varying soil bedding factors and varying failure modes and shallNOTE 1The figure illustrates a method of applying the load to the

40、foot. The length used in calculating the strengthvalues shall be that indicated by the manufactured length (L) in Figs. 1-4. For pipe with a bell, the manufactured length (L) is thelength from the spigot/tongue end face to the bell/groove inside shoulder. For straight wall pipe, no bell, the manufac
41、tured length(L) is the same as for pipe with a bell or the alternate of the length from the spigot/tongue outside shoulder to the socket/grooveend face. For plain end or cut pipe, no bell or spigot, the manufactured length (L) is the same as the overall length (L1). For pipehaving a spigot on one en
42、d with the opposite end being plain, the manufactured length (L) shall be the distance from the plain endto the center of the joint. For pipe having a bell on one end with the opposite end being plain, the manufactured length (L) shallbe the distance from the plain end to the bell inside shoulder. S
43、ee Terminology C822 for definitions of manufactured length (L)and overall length (L1).4.7.2 The ultimate strength in pounds per linear foot shall be calculated by dividing the maximum test load applied to the pipeby the manufactured length (L).4.7.3 The D-load strength in pounds per linear foot per
44、foot of inside diameter or horizontal span shall be either the 0.01-in.crack D-load strength or the ultimate D-load strength. The 0.01-in. crack D-load shall be calculated by dividing the test loadrequired to produce the 0.01-in. crack by the manufactured length (L) and by the pipe inside diameter o
45、r horizontal span. Theultimate D-load strength shall be calculated by dividing the ultimate test load applied to the pipe by the manufactured length, (L),and by the pipe inside diameter or horizontal span.4.8 Precision and BiasThe user of these test methods is advised that the true value for the str
46、ength of a concrete pipe cannotbe determined because the specimen is tested to destruction and exact duplicate specimen cannot be obtained. Therefore, nocalculations of precision and bias are presently capable of being performed. Specifications that include this test method for thevarious types of c
47、oncrete pipe should include a provision for additional tests of one or more specimens.5. Flat Slab Top Test Method5.1 Summary of Test MethodA load is applied to the flat slab top and the supporting capacity of the flat slab top is measured.5.2 Significance and UseThe test method is a proof of design
48、 test performed to prove the adequacy of the design.5.3 ConditioningThe moisture requirements of 1.3 are not required, at the option of the manufacturer.5.4 ProcedurePlace the section that has been designated to receive the flat slab top on a firm, even surface. Assemble the flatslab top to this sec
49、tion. If a frame or riser has been designed to be fitted to the access portion of the flat slab top, assemble it tothe slab top. Apply the test load to the riser or frame as assembled to the flat slab top. If no access opening has been provided tothe flat slab top, apply the test load to the center of the flat slab top by means of a 12 by 12 by 4-in. wood bearing block. See Fig.7.
