JOINT REINFORCED CONCRETE PRESSURE PIPES General: Reinforced concrete pressure pipes with collar or hydraulic rubber ring joints are used for water supply lines, irrigation schemes, sewer rising mains and similar projects. Indian Hume Pipe Co. Ltd., has over ‘0 years experience in the design and manufacture of reinforced concrete pressure pipes. Thousands of kilometers of reinforced concrete pressure pipes with these joints are in service throughout Australia, Europe, India and overseas countries. They testify to the efficiency and economy of this form of pressure pipeline. Specifications: Reinforced concrete pressure pipes are designed and manufactured in accordance with one of the following, as required = e1S. 458-1971 * Clients’ spacification * IHP recommendations for specific jobs. Nominal effective lengths : Upto 250 mm diameter—2.0 M 300 mm diameter and above =25M Reinforced concrete pressure pipes are designed to withstand appropriate external loads, as well as internal pressures. Design: Pipes can be designed and manufactured to test pressures upto and including the maximum indicated in the table, For test pressures somewhat greater than shown, ‘wall thickness may be increased with corresponding reduction of bore. Allowable test pressure for pipes over 600 mm diameter may be reduced by external loads. HP engineering staff are available to assist with all aspects of pressure pipe design. Testing: Alll pressure pipes are subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test at IHP factory. The test pressure is directly related to the required working pressure for the pipe and in accordance with the requirements of the job. Pressure pipes also ‘subjected to other tests as specified in the standard. pte tite Mem) gic Moen 100 | 2000 | 25 |) 60 5 50 [400 (2500 32 26080 430 60 320. aso_| 2500 | 35 | 30 so | a0 | 0 | ak 600 | 2500 | 40 | 480 85 10 90 1170 ee a [1000 | 2800 [55 tos | 100 | 2070 | — = [1100 | zs00 co 10 - = a Weights are approximate ae Mh Cm Ol mee) NG aia 2 ae) by General: Rubber rings provide a quick, simple and effective means of jointing concrete pipes. When used with rigid concrete pipas : the strength of the pipe combines with ‘the flexibility of the joint to onsure the continusd effective operation ef the pipeling, avan under adverse conditions: caused by ground movement. All rubber rings supplied with IHP pipes ‘ere manufactured in accordance with 1S, 5382-1969. Nature! rubber has compression set characteristics superior to synthetic rubber and is normally used. Natural rubber, however, has low resistance to hydrocarbons, and in situations where thoir presonoe is anticipatad, polychloroprene (Neoprene) rubber rings ere specified. Quality of rubber is not affected when it is protected from sun and light. In underground pipelines, in contact with weter the life of rubber rings is as much as that of pipes. Roll-on Rubber Ring Joint. ROLL ON JOINT IMP manufactures socket and spigot concrete pipas with a roll-on-'' ting j in sizes from 100. mm to 1800 mm diameter. This joint developed by Cornilious in England, is in use for concrete pipes for over 45 years, giving satisfactory service Confined ‘O’ Ring Joint: Amore recent development by IHP is the confined 'O' ring joint. The rubber ring remains in a fixed position an the pipe spigot. While jainting, the ring end the pipe socket are lubricated, and the joint is made The confined ing joint offer: + Eaciot closure in wet conditions. ‘* A more compact jeint in large diameter pipes.

During the last decade the designing of rigid underground pipes, their joints and technique of instellation have been changing fundamentally from empirical and traditional methods to more rational methods based on the scientific principles of structural and soil mechanics. A buried pipeline is now recognised es « load bearing structure, and within the limits of present knowledge, is designed with growing confidence. Condition of installation. The magnitude of loads imposed upon a buried! pipe by the overlying soil and by any uniformly distributed or concentrated surface surcharge of large or infinite extant, Gepends first on the nature density and depti of soil cover, the intensity of surchargs, the nature of the pipe—whather rigid or flexible and on the conditions in whieh it is installed—whether trench or embankment, Reference is often made to the menufacturer’s tabuleted load carrying capacities to select the appropriate pipe class when the service load requirements are known. This procedure is satisfactory provided all factors are considered. However, prior to Seciding the class of pipe required, the design engineer should consider in detail, how the pipe is to be laid, ie. the depth of excavation, cover, backfill material type, trench width required for practical installation, minimum density of beckfill and possible construction traffic loads. Trench widths. For pipes in trench cond the fill and surcharge loads depend upon the effective trench width and whether it is wide or narrow with respect to the outsida diamotor of the pipe and depth of soil covar Whan installing a pipe, itis ‘essential that the trench width be specified and excavated uniformly and not be permitted to “just happen” in a haphazard manner Back filling. Another aspect of pipe installation that is neglected is backfilling. The ability of any pipe to support an embankment depends on adequate side support, It is essential thet side filling be thoroughly compacted to at least 90% of the maximum dry density as assessed by the modified ProctorTest Method. If 90% compaction is not attained, the ability of the pipe to carty a given load is reduced significantly. Failure to provide side support may cause failure of the pipeline atless than the designed loading and may also induce difforential sattlement when the fill above and beside the conduit does not settle uniformly. Surcharge loads. Pipes in service are subject to loads generated by earth pressures and superimposed surcharges, such as traffic loads for pipes under road ways, The aetuel loads vary according to the class of foundetion material, depth of cover, compaction procedure and whether the pipe is beneath an embankment or ina trench. A loading which is often ‘overlooked and which may ‘excaed the combinad loads is traffic loading. The trend today is for larger and consequently heavy earthmoving equipment. ‘When this equipment is used in conjunction with pipeline installation it is often allowed. 10 pass over or alongside the pipe during the backtilling operation. Little concern is. directed in the field to the permanent effect such transient traffic can have on ‘the pipe. Installation of Pipes. The performance of the pipeline in service depends not only on the quality of pipe and joint but also on installation i, on the design and execution of bedding, jointing and backfilling. The following notes will help to design and execute installation properly. Trench Preparation. Trenches should be kept tothe specified width since any excessive increase in tranch width will increase both the load on the pipe, the quantity of excavation, end will also require more bedding material under the pipe. A tronch nerrower than that specified may impede the proper placing and consolidation af tho bedding material and restrict working conditions in the trench during pipe laying. Recommended trench widths for various pipe diameters and installation conditions are indicated in tables enclosed The foundation. Uniform support along the pipaline is important. All hard spots and also soft zones which can cause differential settlement should be removed from the foundation. Bouldars and soft patches should be dug out and replaced with well tamped selected backfill. isturbance by trampling of ine soils or caarse grain material in the tranch bottom must be avoided. In water bearing ground sufficient waterstops should be provided to provont passage af water along the trench. Tha water level should not be allowed to rise before bavktilling is completed.

Either swelling or shrinkage can cause an uneven trench bottom Where slips occur and the trench wall ccllapses immediate action should be taken to inform the Resident Engineer so that remedial work may be put in hand to take account of a trench width in excess of that specified. Care must be taken when constructing a trench adjacent to @ manhole, The trench should be backfilled as soon es possiole after the pipes are laid to prevent eny movement of the manhole causing an pverload to the pipas, Bedding Materials. The types of bedcing normally usad With concrete pipes are concrete cradle bedding, ‘Ist class bedding end ordinary bedding Concrete Cradle Bedding: (Reinforcs This type of bedding using good quality concrete, carefully placed to ensure adequate and uniform support oas not unduly limit the flexibility of the joints, provided gaps—each not lass than 12 mm wide, are mace in the cancrete at every second joint position or at every 5 Meters whichever is less. These gaps should be ‘illed with a soft compressible msterial ‘o prevent the entry of any stonas, such other materials liable to rastrict ‘lexibility of the bed and consequently of the pipeline itsalf First Class Bedding: (Granular materiel) Free draining gravels or crushed stones, well graded and evenly cor ted under supervision will ensure good joint performance. An excess of fines in the material may cause ‘bulking’ during progress: of the work, with consequent variations in ling, level and compaction 4 or piain concrete) Tho maximum particle size should generally not exceed 20 mm. The presence of an foceasional particle between 20 mm and 26 mm is ‘eplable provided the total quantity of such particles is only a very small ‘rection ‘ol the whole. If particles over 25 nin are prasent the ‘matorial should be rajerctad The use of material obtained rom the trench during excavation should be permitted only after a grading analysis has been made end th material approved as suitable or the particular size of pipe boing laid. When granular bedding is used in trenches dug in uniform coarse sands or gravel it is important to ensure that the bedeing material is not compacted lass than the natural trench botiom eo Ordinary Bedding: (natural soil of trench) The bedding of concrete pipes ‘on natural soil of the tronch bottom in these classes is generally only suitable for pipes up to 300 mm diameter. Tha natural soil should be uniform and fine grained: conditions relatively dry. Bedding Procedure: For concrete cradin bedding, precast cradivs ar other means of support for the pipes ‘et the correct height above the trench bottom and which can be safely left in place, should be regularly placed by means of a distance gauge and then boned in to the correct level and gradient. A layer of compressible material should be placed between the pipe and credie to prevent the creation of a hard spot at the cradle No supports should be used in 1st class bedding, the top of which should be trimmed to the correct gradient, slightiy above the fine! laval to allow for e smal| settlement of heavy pipes, as pre-determined by ‘ial. Timbering or sheeting should, wherever possible, be withdrawn as work proceeds so that no voids are left in the bedding. The bedding should be properly compacted, preferably by mechanical ‘maans. Care should be exercised to avoid disturbance of the bedding bensath the pipe and to make good any disturbance which may occur accidentally. ‘The bedding must be dug out under the pipa sockets so thet the pipes are supported along the whole length of their barrels, and nat on their sockets only. The pipe should be suspended during laying and jointing to avoid disturbance of the granular bed, and to prevent tha whole weight of the pipe from bearing on the rubber ring during jointing for Rubber Ring Joints and allow uniform Caulking space in the casa of collar joint. After completion of jointing the sling should ba carefully temioved to prevent disturbance of the bedding.
