706.01  Non-Reinforced Concrete Pipe.  Provide non-reinforced concrete pipe conforming to ASTM C 14 (ASTM C 14M), with the following modifications:

5.3  Does not apply.

6.2  Provide cementitious materials conforming to 701, except 701.07.

6.3  Provide aggregate conforming to the quality requirements of 703.02.

10.2  Ensure that the manufacture furnishes the number of pipe shown in the “Minimum Requirements for Sampling Materials” table, section 700.

10.3  In addition, perform external load crushing strength tests with hard rubber blocks on wood strips with plaster of paris bedding fillets.

13  Perform inspection at the project site.  Obtain random samples from materials delivered to the project site or at other locations designated by the Laboratory.  Ensure that the manufacturers of these materials are certified by the Office of Materials Management according to Supplement 1074.

15  Ensure that the markings also include “P” to denote non-reinforced pipe.

Testing Equipment.  Ensure that every manufacturer furnishing concrete pipe under these Specifications furnishes all facilities and personnel needed to perform the tests.

706.02  Reinforced Concrete Circular Pipe.  Provide reinforced concrete circular pipe conforming to ASTM C 655 (ASTM C 655M), with the following modifications:

Ensure that the minimum D-Load of the reinforced concrete pipe is as follows:

Size

Minimum D-Load

12 in (300 mm)

2000 lb (100 kg)

15 in (375 mm)

2000 lb (100 kg)

18 in (450 mm)

1250 lb (62.5 kg)

21 in (525 mm)

1250 lb (62.5 kg)

24 in (600 mm)

1250 lb (62.5 kg)

27 in (675 mm) or larger

1000 lb (50 kg)

 

1  In addition, ensure that this pipe is circular reinforced concrete pipe with circular or elliptical reinforcement, with and without quadrant and “S” strip reinforcement.

4.1  The acceptability of the pipe design is determined according to Section 10.  All designs in ASTM C 76 (ASTM C 76M), Tables 2 through 5, inclusive, are accepted designs with the 0.01-inch (0.3 mm) crack D-loads as follows:

          All designs in Tables 706.02-1 through 706.02-4 are accepted designs with noted 0.01-inch (0.3 mm) crack and ultimate D-loads.  For intermediate D-loads, in Tables 2 through 5 of ASTM C 76 (ASTM C 76M), steel areas for a given wall thickness may be interpolated between Tables 2 and 3, 3 and 4, and 4 and 5 for a size and D-load as accepted designs.  Where different concrete strengths are listed in the tables, use the higher concrete.  In addition, steel areas, interpolated as above between Table 706.02-1 and Table 706.02-2, 36-inch (900 mm) through 108-inch (2700 mm) using the higher concrete strength, and interpolation of the circumferential steel between Table 706.02-3 and Table 706.02-4 using the wall thickness and stirrup designs in Table 706.02-4, are accepted designs.  Pipe manufactured according to an accepted pipe design will be accepted, at the option of the Laboratory, according to the basis of acceptance described in Section 4.1.1 or 4.1.2.

          Provide reinforced concrete pipe with S-stirrups according to Figure 1 (Figure 1M) and the following requirements:

1.      Provide steel conforming to 709.08, 709.10, 709.11, or 709.12.  Ensure that the wall thickness, amount of circular reinforcement, S-stirrup system, and concrete strength comply with Tables 706.02-2, 706.02-3, and 706.02-4.  Ensure that the spacing center-to-center of adjacent inner rings of circumferential reinforcement in a cage does not exceed 4 inches (102 mm) for pipe up to and including pipe having a 4 inches (102 mm) wall thickness or exceed wall thicknesses for larger pipe and in no case exceed 6 inches (152 mm).

2.      Ensure that each line of S-stirrups have a continuous “S” shape extending longitudinally from end to end of the pipe.  Ensure that they extend from the inner cage toward the outer surface of the pipe for a distance not less than the minimum amplitude.  Ensure that S-stirrups pass around and are in contact with each inside circumferential member of the inner cage.  Ensure that each line of S-stirrups lie essentially in a plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the pipe.

3.      Where more than one length of stirrup material is used per line, make a lap round one circumferential member of the inner cage.  Ensure that the ends of “S” shaped stirrups at splices include an outer bend.  Do not use more than three lengths of “S” material in a line and ensure that the minimum length of a section of S-stirrups is 30 inches (0.76 m).

4.1.1  In addition, test the pipe designs covered by Tables 706.02-1, 706.02-2, 706.02-3, and 706.02-4 and ASTM C 76 (ASTM C 76M), Tables 2 through 5, and interpolated designs by the three-edge bearing method.  When the test load on the pipe reaches 115 percent of the required 0.01-inch (0.3 mm) crack D-load without developing a 0.01-inch (0.3 mm) or larger crack, accept the test specimen for strength.  If any test specimen fails to pass this test, but attained the 0.01-inch (0.3 mm) crack, continue the test until the ultimate D-load is reached.

4.1.2  In addition, accept pipe 54 inches (1350 mm) and larger in diameter covered by Tables 706.02-1, 706.02-2, 706.02-3, and 706.02-4, and ASTM C 76 (ASTM C 76M), Tables 2 through 5, and interpolated designs according to Section 12 and the following requirements:

1.      When pipe from a plant has been approved by the Laboratory for a specified design and pipe from the same plant has wall and steel area not less than the approved pipe.

2.      When it has been established that two or more plants have complied with the above requirements for the class and size under consideration, and the plant under consideration has established compliance with the above requirements for an adjacent size, and the wall and steel area are not less than the pipe tested at the two plants.

6.1.2.1  Provide cement according to 701.

6.1.2.2  Provide fly ash according to 701.13

6.1.3  Provide aggregates conforming to the quality requirements of 703.02.

6.1.5  Provide steel according to 709.08, 709.10, 709.11, or 709.12.

6.2.4  Ensure that no more than two holes are cast, drilled, or otherwise neatly made in the shell of each piece of pipe for the purpose of handling or laying.  Ensure that the holes are tapered unless drilled, and before backfilling, fill the tapered holes with portland cement mortar, or secure precast concrete plugs with portland cement mortar.  Fill drilled holes with portland cement mortar.

7.1 and 7.3  In addition, perform strength tests using methods described in ASTM C 497 (ASTM C 497M).

10.1  In addition, ensure that pipe designs covered by Tables 706.02-1, 706.02-2, 706.02-3, and 706.02-4 and ASTM C 76 (ASTM C 76M) Tables 2 through 5 have the number of samples selected as shown in the “Minimum Requirements for Sampling Materials” table for each size, class, and production lot (pipe of the same size and class made from the same materials and by the same process and approximately the same production date) for test.

8.1  In addition, ensure that pipe made in accordance with 706.04-1 has three lines of reinforcement of elliptical shape.  Place the outer and inner lines of reinforcement so that the nominal protective covering of the concrete over the reinforcement in the barrel of the pipe is 1 inch (25 mm) subject to the variations permitted in Section 12.5.  Ensure that the third or middle line is in contact with and fastened securely to the inner line at the vertical axis of the pipe both top and bottom and to the outer line at the horizontal axis on both sides.  Ensure that the length of the middle line is the average of the length of the inner and outer line.  Ensure that the middle line is of an elliptical shape and runs smoothly between the specified points of contact with the inner and outer lines.

10  Ensure that no more than two holes are cast, drilled, or otherwise neatly made in the shell of each piece of pipe for the purpose of handling or laying.  Taper the holes unless drilled, and before backfilling, fill the tapered holes with portland cement mortar, or secure the precast concrete plugs with portland cement mortar.  Fill the drilled holes with portland cement mortar.

11.2  Select the specified number of pipe, as noted in the “Minimum Requirements for Sampling Materials” table, for the purpose of test at the plant and at random from the lot to be shipped or at the project site from the pipe delivered and that are pipe that would not otherwise be rejected under these Specifications.  Test pipe according to Section 5.1.1 except the Laboratory may accept pipe 54 inches (1350 mm) and larger in diameter according to Section 5.1.2 and the following requirements:

1.      When pipe from a plant has been approved by the Laboratory for a specified design, pipe from the same plant with wall and steel area not less than the approved pipe may be approved by means of tests on cores verifying absorption, strength, wall, and steel area.

2.      When it has been established that two or more plants have complied with the above requirements for the class and size under consideration and the plant under consideration has established compliance with the above requirements for an adjacent size, and the wall and steel area are not less than the pipe tested at the two plants.

11.3.1  Ensure that the load to produce a 0.01-inch (0.3 mm) crack and the ultimate load as determined by ASTM C 497 (ASTM C 497M) three-edge bearing method, is not less than shown in Tables 1, 2, and 706.04-1.  The ultimate strength test may be waived when the test load on the pipe reaches 115 percent of the required 0.01-inch (0.3 mm) crack D-load without developing a 0.01-inch (0.3 mm) or larger crack.

11.4  Perform compression tests for satisfying the minimum specified concrete strength requirement from cores drilled from the wall of the pipe.  Ensure that the diameter of the core is such that the capped height to diameter or L/D ratio lies between one and two.  Ensure that the cores are secured, prepared for testing, and tested by methods prescribed in the appropriate sections of ASTM C 497 (ASTM C 497M).  Ensure that the compressive strength of each core tested is equal to or greater than the design strength of the concrete.  If a core does not meet the required strength, test another core from the same pipe.  If this core does not meet the required strength, the Department may reject the pipe.  Make additional tests on other pipe to determine the acceptability of the lot.  When the cores cut from a section of pipe successfully meet the strength test requirement, ensure that the core holes are plugged and sealed by the manufacturer in a manner such that the pipe section will meet all of the test requirements of these Specifications.

11.9  Does not apply.

11.10  Does not apply.

14  Perform inspection at the project site.  Obtain random samples from material delivered to the project site or at other locations designated by the laboratory. 

Ensure manufacturers of these materials are certified according to Supplement 1074.

16  In addition, place the plant location on each pipe, and for pipe manufactured to design requirements of 706.04-1 place the letter “A” after the pipe class.  Ensure that the markings are legible and indented in the pipe section or painted on with waterproof paint.

6.4.1  Provide air-entraining admixture according to 705.10.

6.5  Provide epoxy coated reinforcement according to 709.00, Grade 60 (Grade 420), or 709.14.  In lieu of epoxy coated reinforcement, an approved corrosion inhibiting admixture may be added to the concrete at the approved dosage; and provide reinforcement according to 709.01, 709.03 or 709.05; Grade 60 (Grade 420) or 709.08, 709.10, 709.11 or 709.12. Provide epoxy or galvanized coated connections when connecting a precast structural unit into a cast-in-place structural component or between segments of adjacent precast structural units either manufactured as separate units or across construction joints when manufactured as one unit. Provide epoxy coated reinforcement according to 709.00 or 709.14, when these connections are designed using reinforcing steel. Provide galvanized coatings according to 711.02, when these connections are designed using connection plates, hardware or concrete inserts.

7.1  Ensure that all designs for concrete compressive strengths greater than 5000 pounds per square inch (35 MPa) include, with the shop drawings, the mix design and a history of successful use of the mix design.

          Where circumferential (main) reinforcement is composed of bars, check crack control criteria using the following:  Z = 150 inside face (interior surface) and Z = 130 outside face (exterior surface).

7.2  Ensure that the concrete cover dimension over reinforcement is a minimum of 2 inches (50 mm) in the slab and in the exterior of the leg.  Ensure that the interior of the leg reinforcement cover tapers from 1 inch (25 mm) at the bottom of the leg to 2 inches (50 mm) at the bottom of the haunch.

          Ensure that the ends of longitudinal reinforcement have a minimum cover of 1/2 inch (13 mm), and spacers used to position the reinforcement are plastic or epoxy coated steel regardless of whether a corrosion inhibiting admixture is used.

8  Ensure that the top slab is produced with a keyway joint.  The keyway provides a void volume equivalent to that of 12 inches (300 mm) prestressed beam as per Standard Construction Drawing PSBD-1-93.  Ensure that the joint in the leg sections is designed to produce a shear key or inter-locking joint.  Ensure that non-adjoining outside legs are flat.  Sandblast the joint surfaces to the satisfaction of the Department, or a 2000 pounds per square inch (14 MPa) water blast no more than 14 days prior to shipping.  Ensure that the culvert is designed such that the sections when laid together will make a continuous line with a smooth interior free of appreciable irregularities, all compatible with the permissible variations of Section 11.

9  Application of membrane waterproofing at any location other than the final location shown on the plans is prohibited.

9.1  Ensure that the aggregate, cement, and water are manufactured in conformance with 499.06, 499.07, and 499.09.

          Ensure that the temperature requirements of 511.08 and 511.15 are met.

          Ensure that the proportion of portland cement is not less than 564 pounds per cubic yard (335 kg/m3) of concrete.

          If used, add the corrosion inhibitor as an aqueous solution.  Consider the water in the solution as mixing water for the purpose of determining the w/c ratio of concrete.

9.2  Cure the three-sided sections in the forms for the length of time required to obtain the specified minimum design handling strength as defined in the shop drawings.  Test a cylinder to check each section’s design handling strength.  Repeat this test as often as needed.  Only one cylinder passing will ensure that the design handling strength has been met.  If the shop drawing shows no design handling strengths, then the minimum handling strength is assumed to be 100 percent of the design strength.  Ensure that the curing then continues either in or out of the forms until the specified minimum design strength is met.

9.2.1  Steam curing is an accelerated cure by low pressure steam or radiant heat within a suitable insulated enclosure to contain the live steam or heat.  The initial application of the steam or heat is from two to four hours after the final placement of concrete to allow the initial set to take place.  If retarders are used, increase the waiting period to 4 to 6 hours.  As an alternative, determine the actual time of initial set according to ASTM C 403.  Do not start curing until the actual time to initial set has elapsed.

          During the waiting period, ensure that the temperature within the curing enclosure is not less than 50 °F (10 °C).

          During the initial application of live steam or radiant heat, ensure that the ambient temperature within the curing enclosure increases at an average rate not exceeding 40 °F (22 °C) per hour until the curing temperature is reached.

          Ensure that the maximum curing temperature does not exceed 150 °F (65 °C).  Hold the design temperature until the concrete has reached the desired design strength.  Do not direct the application of live steam on the concrete forms so as to cause localized high temperatures.

9.2.2  Provide water curing according to 511.15 and 511.17, Method A.

9.2.3  Provide membrane curing according to 511.16, Method B.

9.3  Ensure that all forms are in place until the design handling strength is met.

9.4  Holes for handling or setting are not permitted.  Do not move members before the design handling strength of the concrete is reached, or shipped before the design strength of the concrete is reached.  Ensure that the manufacturers have equipment necessary to handle and transport the pieces without damaging them.

10  Ensure that the hardened concrete contains a minimum of 4 percent entrained air.

10.2.1 Keep the cylinders and matching culvert section together to guarantee the cylinders are matched with the corresponding culvert section; or, upon agreement by the Department, keep the cylinders at a location that will provide the same environment as the culvert sections.

10.2.2  For each section of the culvert, produce and mark at least four cylinders so that they are identifiable with the matching culvert section.

10.2.3  Conform to Supplement 1073 for acceptance.

10.2.3.1  Ensure that cylinder strengths conform to Supplement 1073.

10.3.3.2  Deleted.

10.4  Plug the core holes by using a concrete that is the same as that used in the section and cured in according to Section 9.2, or by a non-shrink grout that exceeds the concrete design strength.

11  The design in the plan reflects the external top slab elevation of the structure.  If the structure supplied has a deck thicker than the plan design, eliminate the difference between the design top slab elevation and the supplied top slab elevation by a reducing the leg length.  The Department may approve alternate methods to eliminate the difference between the design top slab elevation and the supplied top slab elevation.  The Department will not approve a change in the top slab elevation from that shown on the plans.

          The clear span shown is the minimum for the structure.  The manufacturer may provide a clear span greater than that shown.  Base the exact footer locations for both the elevation and offset on the manufacturer’s shop drawings.  Ensure that these footer locations are such that the centerline of the leg at the bottom of the haunch matches the centerline of the footer.

          All changes to the project resulting from the manufacturer’s dimensional changes in the structure are at no charge to the Department.

          Ensure that the sections are free of fractures spalls and chips.  Ensure that all surfaces have a smooth and regular finish being defined as a 1/4-inch variation within 4 feet (6 mm variation within 1.2 m).

11.1  Ensure that the slab and walls are perpendicular with a diagonal difference of not more than 0.5 percent.

          Ensure that the length of each section is within 1/2 inch (13 mm) of the design length.  Consider the length is the average of the length measured at each side and at the middle of the three-sided section.

11.4  Ensure that the maximum variation in the position of the reinforcement is 3/8 inch (9 mm), except that the cover over the reinforcement for the external surface of the top slab is not less than 2 inches (50 mm).  The above tolerances or cover requirements do not apply to mating surfaces at the joint.
