AASHTO LRFD Section 12 Standards A Guide to 23 CFR 625 Requirements for Culverts & Pipe AASHTO LRFD Section 12 Standards

A User’s Guide:

A User’s Guide Background: In 2013, following the passage of MAP-21 which contained language granting the states autonomy on the selection of culvert pipe material type, the FHWA issued language addressing the culvert design issue in their Final Rule which was published in the Federal Register on January 28, 2013. In that rule they wrote: “Although section 1525 gives the States the autonomy to determine culvert and storm sewer material types, section 1525 does not relieve the States of compliance with other applicable Federal requirements, such as Buy America, culvert design standards in 23 CFR part 625…”

A User’s Guide 23CFR625: Currently, section 23CFR625 of the Federal Regulations refers to: “AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 7th Edition, AASHTO, 2014, with 2015 Interim Revisions” for use in designing buried structures, including culverts. FHWA July 2016 Email: On July 20, 2016, the FHWA sent an email to all of their district offices reiterating the design requirement.

FHWA Email – July 20, 2016

A User’s Guide: Design Notes ePipe Design Notes: A series of ePipe Design notes have been developed to assist the engineer in some inconclusive areas of the plastic pipe design standard. The standard is silent on the use of trench boxes for construction. As such, without proper research into trench design arching factors, a question arises as to the accuracy of designs using trenches. Additionally, the use of sand backfills, and water table levels and resulting hydrostatic forces on plastic pipe need to be addressed by the designer beyond the guidelines in the specification. ePipe Design Notes: Flexible and Rigid Pipe Installation Review and Discussion Resource # e-022 Trust, but Verify Resource # e-023 The Importance of the Gradation of Sands With Respect to Structural Backfill Support for Plastic Pipe Resource # e-024 Water Table Concerns for Storm Drain and Culverts Resource # e-025 Plastic Fill Height Table Pitfalls Resource # e-027 Plastic Pipe Profile Predicament Resource # e-028

ePipe – The Importance of Gradation of Sands With Respect to Structural Backfill Support for Flexible Pipe As the AASHTO Section 12 Plastic Pipe Design procedure warns, uniformly graded material with an average particle size smaller than a No. 40 sieve “should not be used as backfill for thermoplastic culverts.” If, however, the design engineer allows the use of such material, that decision requires extra precautions during design and installation. The design engineer must take into consideration the actual moisture content and compaction levels of the chosen backfill material and additionally monitor and measure these factors during construction.

ePipe – Water Table Concerns for Storm Drains and Culverts The buoyant force on a flexible pipe can add between 5% and 20% to the vertical load assumed in the design, thereby increasing the Vertical Arching Factor that is calculated per the current AASHTO LRFD code. (Note: The loss of side soil support due to migration caused by water table fluctuations can be critical to the structural capacity of flexible pipe and must be considered by the design engineer.) Designers default to using manufacturer tables without taking into consideration all of the design caveats.

ePipe – Plastic Fill Height Table Pitfalls Water Table Impact: According to AASHTO LRFD Code 12.12.3.7 – Soil Prism, there are three different equations to utilize in design based on the elevation of the top of pipe relative to the elevation of the water table. Not knowing this exact project variable for each section of a line, the design engineer cannot use the provided manufacturer fill height tables if water tables are present since this variable is not addressed in the tables.

ePipe – Plastic Fill Height Table Pitfalls Trench Installations: A second design omission within the AASHTO LRFD Section 12 code deals with a lack of trench installation investigation. The impact of this lack of investigation is compounded when a trench box is utilized for a particular installation. A critical component of the structural capacity of the soil-plastic pipe system is dependent on the design of the backfill envelope where the side supporting fill must be strong enough to support the horizontal deflection. When a trench box is utilized and placed within the pipe zone, this all important side fill is dramatically disturbed when the box is moved to the next section. This action creates voids in this critical haunch and side embedment zone thereby reducing any vertical arching benefit, reducing the soil column strength on each side of the pipe, and subjecting the pipe to strains beyond those allowed by design.
