3、tment of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This practice provides recommendations for the installation of buried thermoplastic pipe used in sewers and othergravity-flow applications. These recommendations are intended to ensure a stable underground environment for thermoplastic pipeunder a wide range of service
4、conditions. However, because of the numerous flexible plastic pipe products available and theinherent variability of natural ground conditions, achieving satisfactory performance of any one product may require modificationto provisions contained herein to meet specific project requirements.1.2 The s
5、cope of this practice necessarily excludes product performance criteria such as minimum pipe stiffness, maximumservice deflection, or long term strength. Thus, it is incumbent upon the product manufacturer, specifier, or project engineer toverify and assure that the pipe specified for an intended ap
6、plication, when installed according to procedures outlined in thispractice, will provide a long term, satisfactory performance according to criteria established for that application. A commentaryon factors important in achieving a satisfactory installation is included in Appendix X1.NOTE 1Specific p

Significance and Use4.1 This practice is for use by designers and specifiers, installation contractors, regulatory agencies, owners, and inspectionorganizations who are involved in the construction of sewers and other gravity-flow applications that utilize flexible thermoplasti
34、cpipe. As with any standard practice, modifications may be required for specific job conditions or for special local or regionalconditions. Recommendations for inclusion of this practice in contract documents for a specific project are given in Appendix X2.5. Materials5.1 ClassificationSoil types us
35、ed or encountered in burying pipes include those classified in Table 1 and natural,manufactured, and processed aggregates. The soil classifications are grouped into soil classifications in Table 2 based on the typicalsoil stiffness when compacted. Class I indicates a soil that generally provides the
36、 highest soil stiffness at any given percentcompaction, and provides a given soil stiffness with the least compactive effort. Each higher-number soil class providessuccessively less soil stiffness at a given percent compaction and requires greater compactive effort to provide a given level of soilst
37、iffnessNOTE 4See Practices D2487 and D2488 for laboratory and field visual-manual procedures for identification of soils.NOTE 5Processed materials produced for highway construction, including coarse aggregate, base, subbase, and surface coarse materials, when usedfor foundation, embedment, and backf
38、ill, should be categorized in accordance with this section and Table 1 in accordance with particle size and gradation.5.2 Installation and UseTable 3 provides recommendations on installation and use based on soil classification and locationin the trench. Soil Classes I to IV should be used as recomm
39、ended in Table 3. Soil Class V, including clays and silts with liquidlimits greater than 50, organic soils, and frozen soils, shall be excluded from the pipe-zone embedment.5.2.1 Class IClass I materials provide maximum stability and pipe support for a given percent compaction due to the lowcontent
40、of sand and fines. With minimum effort these materials can be installed at relatively high-soil stiffnesses over a wide rangeof moisture contents. In addition, the high permeability of Class I materials may aid in the control of water, and these materialsare often desirable for embedment in rock cut
41、s where water is frequently encountered. However, when ground-water flow isanticipated, consideration should be given to the potential for migration of fines from adjacent materials into the open-graded ClassI materials. (See X1.8.)5.2.2 Class IIClass II materials, when compacted, provide a relative
42、ly high level of pipe support; however, open-gradedgroups may allow migration and the sizes should be checked for compatibility with adjacent material. (See X1.8.)5.2.3 Class IIIClass III materials provide less support for a given percent compaction than Class I or Class II materials. Higherlevels o
43、f compactive effort are required and moisture content must be near optimum to minimize compactive effort and achievethe required percent compaction. These materials provide reasonable levels of pipe support once proper percent compaction isachieved.5.2.4 Class IVClass IV materials require a geotechn
44、ical evaluation prior to use. Moisture content must be near optimum tominimize compactive effort and achieve the required percent compaction. Properly placed and compacted, Class IV materials canprovide reasonable levels of pipe support; however, these materials may not be suitable under high fills,
45、 surface-applied wheelloads, or under high-energy-level vibratory compactors and tampers. Do not use where water conditions in the trench may preventproper placement and compaction.D2321 143NOTE 6The term “high energy level vibratory compactors and tampers” refers to compaction equipment that might
46、deflect or distort the pipe morethan permitted by the specifications or the manufacturer.5.2.5 Class VClass V materials should be excluded from pipe-zone embedment.5.3 Moisture Content of Embedment MaterialsThe moisture content of embedment materials must be controlled to permitplacement and compact
