    Precast concrete manhole units are typically constructed by first placing a concrete base and then stacking precast concrete rings on top of each other to reach the required height. While some designs do not include reinforcement, analysis shows that standard unreinforced precast units can resist uniformly distributed soil and surface pressures down to depths of 150m. For withstanding very heavy traffic or side loads, providing an additional 150mm of concrete around the unit may be necessary.

    Is reinforcement needed in precast concrete manhole

    Precast concrete manholes are normally constructed by placing the bases of manholes
    firstly. The walls of precast manholes are formed by placing the precast concrete rings
    one on top of the other up to the required height.

    Someone may notice that reinforcement used for resisting the lateral earth pressure and
    surface loads are not considered in some design. It is discussed in Concrete Pipe
    Association of Great Britain that analysis of soil pressures shows that standard
    unreinforced precast units are capable of resisting uniformly distributed pressures (e.g.
    loading condition in a manhole) down to a depth of 150m. If very severe road traffic and
    side loads are encountered, an additional concrete surround of about 150mm may be
    provided.

    This question is taken from book named – A Self Learning Manual – Mastering
    Different Fields of Civil Engineering Works (VC-Q-A-Method) by Vincent T. H. CHU.
