10.2.4. A sealing membrane conforming to the requirements of AASHTO M 148 may be applied and should be left intact until the strength requirements are met. The concrete at the time of application shall be 10 oF above the atmospheric temperature. All surfaces shall be kept moist prior to the application of the compounds and shall be damp when the compound is applied.

11. PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS 11.1. Test Specimens:

1% of each lot for testing tests shall be furnished without charge by the fabricator and shall be selected at random by the Department and shall be pipe that would not otherwise be rejected under this specification. The selection shall be made at the point or points designated by the purchaser when placing the order.

11.2. Tests for Extended Delivery Schedules:

For extended project deliveries, the lot will be accepted as follows: Perform a preliminary three-edge bearing test on a section in accordance with Section 11.3. Each successive production date comprising the reduced lot will be accepted on the basis of compressive strength testing in accordance with Section 11.4.1.(2), Acceptance Testing.

11.3. External Load Crushing Strength:

11.3.1. The load to produce a 0.01 in. crack, as determined by the three-edge bearing method described in AASHTO T 280, shall be not less than the proof load provided in Appendix A, or by PAIDD for each respective pipe design. Lots for which the pipe have been tested in accordance with this specification and that meet the proof load requirements given in 11.3.4 shall be accepted for use.

11.3.2. Retests of Pipe Not Meeting the External Load Crushing Strength Requirements – Pipe shall be considered as meeting the strength requirements when all test specimens conform to the strength requirements, the fabricator shall be allowed to retest two additional specimens for each specimen that failed, and the pipe shall be acceptable only when all of the retest specimens meet the strength requirements.

11.3.3. When acceptance is on the basis of 5.1.1, test pipe by the three-edge bearing method in accordance with AASHTO T 280, as modified herein. Accept any test specimens which meet the 0.01 in. crack proof-load requirement without exceeding a 0.007 in. crack width under test load and which are otherwise free from defects as listed in section 16. Verify that 0.007 in. crack limit with a feeler gauge conforming to the requirements shown in AASHTO T 280, except having a gauge thickness of 0.007 in.

11.4. Concrete Test Requirements:

11.4.1. Compressive Strength:

(1) Quality Control Testing:

Compressive tests, or monitoring the design concrete strength, may be made on either standard rodded concrete cylinders or cylinders compacted and cured in a like manner as the pipe, or on cores drilled from the wall of the pipe. Cylinders and cores shall be tested in accordance the PTM 604 and AASHTO T24, respectively. The design will be considered satisfactory when at least 90% of the strength tests show strengths greater than the required minimum specification strength. Cylinders may be kept in a moist temperature controlled condition to develop 28-day strengths.

(2) Acceptance Testing:

When compressive strength testing is performed for the purpose of accepting pipe lots in accordance with section 5.1.2 and 11.2, perform compressive strength testing in accordance with PTM 604 and AASHTO T24, respectively. The compressive strength test must meet or exceed the design requirement. Specimen results which deviate from each other by 1,000 psi or more are considered invalid.

If the concrete consistency is too stiff for compaction by rodding or internal vibrations, the following alternative method may be use:

(1) Bolt a cylinder mold to the top of a vibrating table, or to the actual concrete pipe form being used to produce the pipe.

(2) Place wetcast concrete in the cylinder mold in three equal lifts, and drycast or packerhead concrete in accordance with AASHTO T126-90.

(3) Place a cylindrical hammer on the surface of each lift with the hammer to be 1/4 inch less in diameter than the inside diameter of the mold and of a weight to create a pressure of 0.353 psi on the surface of the concrete.

(4) External vibration shall be applied on each lift with a frequency of at least 800 vibrations per minute, and continued until cement paste begins to ooze up around the bottom edge of the hammer. If cores are cut from the wall of the pipe and tested they shall be cut and tested in accordance with the requirements of AASHTO T 280. The compressive strength of each core tested shall be equal to or greater than the design strength of the concrete.

Page 22: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - PennDOT Home 280.pdfCommonwealth of Pennsylvania . ... The reinforced concrete shall consist of cementitious materials, ... 7.1. Design Tables:

20

Requirements: Pipe shall be considered as meeting the strength requirements when all test specimens conform to the strength requirements. Should any of the test specimens fail to meet the strength requirements, the fabricator shall be allowed a retest on two additional specimens for each specimen that failed, and the pipe shall be acceptable only when all of the retest specimens meet the strength requirements. When the cores cut from a section of pipe successfully meet the strength requirement, the core holes shall be plugged and sealed by the fabricator in an approved manner such that the pipe section will meet all of the requirements of this specification. Pipe sections so sealed shall be considered as satisfactory for use.

11.4.2. Absorption Test Requirements of Concrete:

The absorption of a sample from the wall of the pipe, as determined in accordance with AASHTO T 280, shall not exceed 9 percent of the dry mass. Each sample shall be a piece broken from the wall, or a core drilled from the wall, shall have a minimum area of 9 in2. as measured on one surface of the pipe wall, and shall be free of visible cracks. When the initial absorption sample, from a pipe fails to conform to this specification the fabricator shall be allowed a retest on two additional samples from the same pipe for each sample that failed. The pipe shall be acceptable only when all of the retest samples meet the absorption requirements. Absorption test requirements of concrete may be waived by the Department.

11.5. Test Equipment:

Every fabricator furnishing pipe under this specification shall furnish all facilities and personnel necessary to carry out the tests described in AASHTO T 280.

12. PERMISSIBLE VARIATIONS 12.1. Internal Diameter:

The internal diameter of round 12 to 24 in. pipe shall vary not more the ± 1.5% from the design diameter. The internal diameter of round 27 in. and larger pipe shall not vary by more than ± 1% from the design diameter or ± 3/8 in., whichever is greater. The internal dimensions of elliptical pipe shall not vary more than +2% from the internal dimensions shown in Fig. 3.

12.2. Wall Thickness:

The design wall thickness, or specified wall thickness, shall not vary by more than ± 5% or 3/16 in., whichever is greater. A specified wall thickness more than required in the design is not cause for rejection. Pipe having localized variations

Page 23: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - PennDOT Home 280.pdfCommonwealth of Pennsylvania . ... The reinforced concrete shall consist of cementitious materials, ... 7.1. Design Tables:

21

in wall thickness exceeding those specified above shall be accepted if the proof load strength and minimum steel cover requirements are met.

12.3. Length of Two Opposite Sides:

Variations in the laying length of two opposite sides of the pipe shall not be more than ¼ in. for all sizes through 24 in. internal diameter, and not more than 1/8 in./ft. for all sizes larger with a maximum of 3/4 in. for 90 in. internal diameter or larger, except where beveled end pipe for laying on curves is specified by the Department.

12.4. Length of Pipe:

The under run in length of a section of pipe shall not be more than 1/8 in./ft. with a maximum of ½ in. in any length of pipe. Regardless of the underrun or overrun in any section of the pipe, the end cover requirements of Section 8 and 12 shall apply.

12.5. Position of Area of Reinforcement:

12.5.1. Position:

The maximum variation in the position of the reinforcement shall be ± 10% of the wall thickness or ± 2 in., whichever is greater. Pipe having variations in the position of the reinforcement exceeding those specified above shall be accepted if the three-edge-bearing strength requirements obtained on a representative specimen are met. In no case, however, shall the cover over any reinforcement be less than ¼ in. as measured to the end of the spigot or ½ in. as measured to any other surface. The preceding minimum cover limitations do not apply to mating surfaces of non-rubber gasket joints, here reinforcement shall not be exposed on the side mating surface of the joints. If convoluted reinforcement is used, the convoluted circumferential end wire may be at the end surface of the joint providing the alternate convolutions have at least 1 in. cover from the end surface of the joint.

12.5.2. Area of Reinforcement:

Reinforcement will be considered as meeting the design requirements if the area, computed on the basis of nominal area of the wire or bars used, equals or exceeds the requirements of 7.1 or 7.2. Actual area of the reinforcing used may vary from the nominal area according to permissible variations of the standard specifications for the reinforcing.

13. WORKMANSHIP, FINISH, AND APPEARANCE 13.1. Pipe shall be substantially free of fractures and surface roughness. The ends of the

pipe shall be normal to the walls and center line of the pipe, within the limits of variations given in 12.3 and 12.4.

Page 24: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - PennDOT Home 280.pdfCommonwealth of Pennsylvania . ... The reinforced concrete shall consist of cementitious materials, ... 7.1. Design Tables:

22

14. REPAIRS 14.1. Pipe may be repaired, if necessary, because of imperfections in manufacture or

damage during handling and will be acceptable if, in the opinion of the Department, the repairs are sound and properly finished and cured and the repaired pipe conforms to the requirements of this standard. Repair procedures for RC pipes are described in Appendix B.

15. INSPECTION The quality of materials, the process of manufacture, and the finished pipe may be subject to inspection and approval by an inspector employed by the Department.

The following criteria has been developed to assign certification demerits or deviations to fabricators found to have certified and delivered pipe to Department projects not meeting the Specifications. Fabricators who accumulate three or more substantiated complaints during any continuous twelve month period will lose their certification status and may result in removal from Bulletin 15. Fabricators will earn an additional certification credit over and above the base allowance of three deviations for each 100 certified deliveries to Department projects.

To earn certification credits, fabricators will be required to submit actual copies of Form CS-4171’s for verification. The following general guidelines were developed to establish the relative weight of each deviation applied toward a fabricator’s certification status. Based on the actual number of pipe affected, however, partial deviations may be considered cumulative.

Incident Type # deviations

▪ Diameter, out of tolerance 1 ▪ Joint dimensions, out-of-tolerance, unacceptable fit 1 ▪ Length of opposite sides, skewed sections 1 ▪ Wall thickness, out-of-tolerance 1 ▪ Unapproved repairs, unacceptable repairs (cosmetic) ½ ▪ Unapproved repairs, unacceptable repairs (structural) 1 ▪ Reinforcement not removed from lift holes ½ ▪ Through wall cracking, exceeding the depth of the joint 1 ▪ Cracking ≥ 0.003” wide AND 12” long 1 ▪ Insufficient reinforcement cover 1 ▪ Open texture and/or honeycombing 1 ▪ Improper marking, structurally adequate ½ ▪ Improper marking, structurally deficient 1 ▪ Improperly substituted, structurally adequate ½ ▪ Improperly substituted, structurally deficient 1 ▪ Improperly certified, minor ½ ▪ Improperly certified, major 1 ▪ Non-Bulletin 14/15 materials used in production 1 ▪ Quality Control records missing/incomplete 1

16. REJECTION 16.1. Pipe shall be subject to rejection on account of failure to conform to any of the

specification requirements. Individual sections of pipe may be rejected because of any of the following:

16.1.1. Fractures or cracks passing through the wall, except for a single end crack that does not exceed the depth of the joint.

16.1.2. Defects that indicate proportioning, mixing, and molding not in compliance with 10.1, or surface defects indicating honey-combed or open texture that would adversely affect the function of the pipe.

16.1.3. Damaged or cracked ends, where such damage would prevent making a satisfactory joint.

16.1.4. Any continuous crack having an unloaded surface width of 0.003 in. or more and extending for a length of 12 in. or more, regardless of position in the wall of the pipe. Any continuous crack having an unloaded surface width of 0.002 in. will be accepted. Verify the 0.003 in. crack limit with a feeler gauge conforming to the requirements of AASHTO T 280, except having a gauge thickness of 0.003 in.

17. MARKING 17.1. The following information shall be legibly marked on the inside barrel of each

section of pipe.

17.1.1. The pipe designation shall be indicated as follows:

APPENDIX B – REPAIR PROCEDURES FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE

1. Spalls:

1.1. End Spalls

Occasional spalls or chips on the spigots, bell, tongue or groove which are no greater than ½ the depth of the joint in the longitudinal direction shall not be cause for rejection, provided the total length of spalls on the pipe end is not more than 10% of the total circumference.

These spalls must be repaired using a Bulletin 15 approved repair material.

1.2. Spalls, other than damaged pope ends

Repairs to the inner barrel will only be permitted within the acceptable limits at the male and female ends of the joint as described above and as follows:

1.2.1. Spalling to the inner barrel which does not reveal the reinforcement with 1.5 times the joint depth from the end of the pipe may be repaired in accordance with the cosmetic repair procedure identified at the end of this appendix.

1.2.2. Minor spalls less than 2” from the edge of the lift hole may be repaired in accordance with the cosmetic repair procedures described at the end of this appendix. The aggregate fractured surface need not be obtained. Reinforcing steel may be visible prior to completing the repair. Minor spalls developed at the lift hole during installation may be repaired at the same time the lift hole is plugged.

Page 64: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - PennDOT Home 280.pdfCommonwealth of Pennsylvania . ... The reinforced concrete shall consist of cementitious materials, ... 7.1. Design Tables:

62

1.2.3. Spalling on the outer barrel which does not expose the reinforcement may be repaired in accordance with the cosmetic repair procedure described at the end of this appendix. Spalling on the outer barrel which reveals the reinforcement must be repaired in accordance with the structural repair procedure described at the end of this appendix.

2. Cracks:

2.1. Through wall cracks:

Any pipe section exhibiting a through wall crack shall be rejected, except that a single end crack that does not exceed the depth of the joint will be permitted. Pipe sections rejected for cracks may not be repaired.

2.2. Non-through wall cracks. Untested pieces, prior to installation.

Any untested sections of pipe, other than the test specimen which was tested by the three edge bearing method, within an approved lot and which exhibit non-through wall crack(s) having a surface width of less than 0.003” will be accepted. Sections exhibiting non-through wall cracks greater than or equal to 0.004” in width and 12” or more in length will be rejected.

Page 65: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - PennDOT Home 280.pdfCommonwealth of Pennsylvania . ... The reinforced concrete shall consist of cementitious materials, ... 7.1. Design Tables:

63

2.3. Non-through wall cracks, tested pieces, prior to installation.

The test section for each approved lot will be accepted under the conditions of 2.2 provided the crack, under the prescribed test load, did not exceed a surface width of 0.007”.

2.4. Plastic ‘tear’ cracks

Occasionally, concrete pipe develop ‘tear’ cracks at their surface during initial manufacturing/handling, prior to curing, when tensile stresses exceed the concrete strength. These cracks are predominantly located along the shoulder of the spigot joint where the pipe transitions to full wall depth, although minor cracking located on the outer barrel may occur less frequently. Cracks eligible for repair must meet the following criteria:

• circumferential spigot tears less than 15% of the circumference of the pipe

• outer-barrel wall tears less than 12” in length

• crack depth does not extend beyond the pipe reinforcement (after V-grooving)

Page 66: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - PennDOT Home 280.pdfCommonwealth of Pennsylvania . ... The reinforced concrete shall consist of cementitious materials, ... 7.1. Design Tables:

64

Prepare the crack for repair by v-grooving along the length of the crack. Complete the repair with a Bulletin 15 approved concrete repair material (non-cosmetic), listed in Bulletin 15 which develops the minimum design strength of the pipe.

3. Manufacturing Defects and Processes

3.1. Honeycombing and other mixture defects

Any section exhibiting honeycombing or mixture defects that expose the reinforcing cage will be rejected.

Any section exhibiting minor surface texture defects encountered on the mating surfaces of the joint can be accepted if the surface can be completely closed with a cement slurry.

3.2. Cage shadow

Some manufacturing processes may reveal the reinforcing cage even though the section has sufficient cover. If the inspector is concerned about insufficient cover, The Structural materials Engineer should be contacted for further review.

3.3. Exposed “end tips”

The presence of exposed longitudinal “end tips” of the reinforcing cage at the pipe ends or spacers on the pipe wall shall not be cause for rejection.

Page 67: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - PennDOT Home 280.pdfCommonwealth of Pennsylvania . ... The reinforced concrete shall consist of cementitious materials, ... 7.1. Design Tables:

65

4. General:

Note: Any repairs required beyond the scope of this appendix may be submitted to the Structural Materials Engineer for evaluation on a case-by-case basis. Such repair proposals should include a photograph or sketch of the affected are and a detailed repair proposal.

The QC inspector must document additional information in the plant book when pipe sections are rejected. The date of manufacture, lot number, size, quantity and reason for rejection must be included. Rejected pipe or pipe requiring repair should be clearly marked with a colored keel or crayon in a location to prevent the defective pipe from mistakenly being shipped.

Repairs to pipe should be performed in a workmanlike fashion, properly finished, cured and sound. Structural repairs must be witnessed by the Department inspector.

Repair Procedures – Minor chips and spalls less than 1” deep

• Areas to be repaired must be clean, sound and free of contaminants.

• Provide and aggregate fractured surface with a minimum surface profile of 1/8”.
