636.5200 Introduction
Pipe materials are generally considered to be rigid or
exible. A exible pipe is one that will deect at least
2 percent without structural distress (g. 521).
Materials that do not meet this criterion are generally
considered rigid. Some pipe materials are described as
semi-rigid based on their behavior and design procedures.
A exible conduit derives its external load capacity
from its exibility. Under load, the pipe tends to deect, developing soil support at the sides of the pipe.
The ring deection (g. 521) relieves the pipe of the
major portion of the vertical soil load, which is then
transferred to the soil surrounding the pipe through
the soil arching action over the pipe.
636.5201 Internal
pressure design
Conduits used in pressure applications must withstand
the internal working pressure. The internal pressure is
resisted by tensile stress (hoop stress) in the conduit
wall (g. 524).

Pressure ratings or pressure class and pertinent dimensions for various plastic pipe materials are provided in appendix 52C. A complete description of HDB
and HDS is available in ASTM D 2837.
The maximum design pressure for systems designed
without a water hammer analysis should be limited to
72 percent of the pressure rating or pressure class of
the pipe (ASAE, 1998, and ASTM 1176, 1993).
For plastic pipe systems subject to recurring or cyclic
surge pressures, as described in 636.5202, the operating pressure plus the cyclic surge pressure should not
exceed the pressure rating or pressure class of the
pipe. If the number of cycles expected throughout the
design life of the project is determined, design criteria
using the short-term pressure rating and the number
of cycles to failure found in Uni-Bell (2001) or recommended by the manufacturer may be used in selection
of the pipe.
For occasional or infrequent pressure surges, as described in 636.5202, plastic pipe provides a higher
short-term hoop strength. The pressure that corresponds to this elevated hoop stress is referred to as
the quick-burst pressure or short-term strength (STS).
A short-term pressure rating may be determined from
the following equation:
STS
STR =
FS

where:
t = net pipe wall thickness, in

Pwork = working pressure, lb/in2
Psurge = maximum surge pressure, lb/in2
Do = outside pipe diameter, in
Sy = yield strength (42,000 lb/in2 for ductile iron)
The standard surge allowance for ductile iron pipe is
100 lb/in2. The pressure class designation signies the
allowable working pressure with a maximum surge
pressure of 100 lb/in2. If the anticipated surge pressure is different from 100 lb/in2, the anticipated surge
pressure should be used and the working pressure
adjusted accordingly.
Once the net pipe wall thickness is determined, an
0.08-inch service tolerance and the casting tolerance
from appendix 52F, table 52F1, are added to calculate
the thickness, from which the appropriate pressure
class is chosen.

A pipe restrained or anchored at both ends will experience a change in stress with changing temperature because of expansion and contraction. The longitudinal
stress in the pipe wall caused by temperature changes
may be estimated by:
SEC = ET
(5259)
where:
SEC = stress due to temperature change, lb/in2
E = short term modulus of elasticity, lb/in2
= coefcient of thermal expansion, in/in/F
T = change in temperature, F
The modulus of elasticity of plastic pipe is a function
of the temperature. Since the temperature change does
not occur rapidly, the average temperature is recommended for use in determining the appropriate modulus of elasticity. The modulus of elasticity should be
adjusted for temperature by the factors shown in table
521.

pipe design
Aboveground applications frequently require noncontinuous support. These applications include pipe
support from a saddle, rack, or stand supported by an
adequate foundation or suspended from an overhead
structure (gs. 5211, 5212, and 5213). The equations shown apply to uniformly loaded and simply
supported pipe. Lower bending moment and deection
will result for continuous rigidly joined and multiple
span pipe.

636.5208 Longitudinal
bending
Flexible plastic pipe is often installed in conditions
that require longitudinal bending. Steel, corrugated
metal pipe, and ductile iron pipe will withstand minimal longitudinal bending. Controlled longitudinal
bending of the pipe within acceptable limits can be
accommodated by the exibility of the pipe itself.
Additional longitudinal deviation must be accomplished by joint deection or the use of special ttings.
Joint deection limits may be obtained from the manufacturer. Acceptable bending may be expressed in
terms of the minimum bending radius calculated by:

Hydrostatic design basis. One of a series of established stress values specied in ASTM D 2837 for a

Hydrostatic design stress. The recommended maximum hoop stress that can be applied continuously
with a high degrees of certainty that failure of the pipe
will not occur.
Modulus of soil reaction, E prime (E). Measure
of the stiffness of the embedment material that surrounds the pipe.
Out-of-roundness. The allowed difference between
the maximum measured diameter and the minimum
measured diameter (stated as an absolute deviation).
Pipe stiffness. For plastic pipe, a term to describe the
stiffness of the pipe from a parallel plate test, which
denes the pipe's resistance to load.
Thrust in a pipe wall. The circumferential compressive force in the conduit walls, per unit length of pipe.
Total system pressure. The sum of working pressure
plus surge pressure.
Water hammer. A pressure surge in a pipeline caused
by a sudden change in water velocity. Typical causes
include the sudden starting or stopping of a pump,
sudden valve movement, or air movement in a pipeline. The surge may damage or destroy pipelines and
pumps if severe.

Strain
The allowable deection for PVC pipe limits strain in PVC pipes. Therefore, computation of strain and comparison to an allowable strain limit is not required for PVC pipe.
A PVC pipe of PVC 2116 plastic with a DR of 26 should be installed and the backll at least
slightly compacted.

Conclusion: An HDPE pipe of PE3408 with an SDR of 17 is acceptable for both the construction loads and nal
soil loads. NOTE: The construction loads are the most critical.
