Standard Practice for Direct Design of Precast Concrete Pipe for Jacking in Trenchless Construction
This publication, Standard Practice for Direct Design of Precast Concrete Pipe for Jacking in Trenchless Construction, (ASCE 27-00), is applicable to precast concrete pipe of circular shape for jacking in trenchless construction of projects intended for the conveyance of sewage, industrial waste, storm water, and drainage. The standard covers the direct design method, manufacturing specification, jacking operation guidelines, and jacking force guidelines. The direct design method is based on research and testing over several decades to develop more rational design procedures for the direct design of buried concrete pipe based on engineering principles followed for the direct design of other reinforced concrete members or structures. The direct design method provides coefficients based on soil-pipe interaction, which enable the determination of pressure distributions on buried concrete pipe installations. The limits state design procedure specified for the design of pipe is consistent with the procedures outline in Section 17 of the AASHTO Standard Specification for Highway Bridges. The jacking forces and design procedures are consistent with industry practice. The commentary provides supporting background data.
