Standard Practice for the Selection of Asbestos-Cement Water Pipe
Sec. 1--Scope
This handbook has been prepared so that design engineers may quickly de termine the correct class of asbestoscement pipe to use under various com binations of internal pressure and ex ternal loading. Curves are included in this handbook to expedite the selec tion of the correct pipe class. De tailed analyses of the various struc tural factors affecting pipe design and selection are treated under separate headings.
Pipe pressure designations of Class 100, Class ISO, and Class 200 in this handbook refer to the similarly num bered classes specified in AWWA C400, "Standard for Asbestos-Cement Water Pipe."
For detailed specifications for the installation of asbestos-cement pipe, reference should be made to AWWA C603, "Standard for the Installation of Asbestos-Cement Pipe."
ditions, as well as the internal and ex ternal forces acting on the pipe, be taken into consideration in selecting a class of pipe for any given installation. Finally, sound engineering practice re quires that adequate safety factors be applied to strength requirements to insure performance under less than ideal conditions.
Research tests and the application of statistical analysis have shown that asbestos-cement pipe strength may be graphically illustrated by combinedloading parabolic curves. The com bined-loading theory developed by the late W. J. Schlick1 is used in this handbook as the basis for selection curves for asbestos-cement water pipe. External-load determinations for un derground conduit used in this hand book are based on the data in Chapter 9 of the Manual on Design and Con struction of Sanitary and Storm Sewers2 produced jointly by ASCE and WPCF.
Sec. 2--Strength and Design Fac tors
The strength of asbestos-cement water pipe must be sufficient to with stand the combined forces of internal hydrostatic pressure and external loads. Furthermore, the conditions under which the pipe is installed have a direct relationship to its ability to resist these forces. Therefore, satis'actory pipe performance in field jervice requires that the bedding con

cate there is a relationship between the combined loads at the point of pipe fracture. This relationship can be represented by a parabolic curve, as shown in Fig. 1. The equation for the load pressure parabolic curve shown in Fig. 1 may be expressed as:

Sec. 5--Three-Edge Bearing Load Factors
P represents the internal pressure; W the external load.
A convenient method of testing pipe for crushing strength (W) is the three-edge-bearing method of loading (Fig. 2). Because the field supporting strength of a conduit is influenced bj the bedding conditions and the lateral pressure acting against the sides of the conduit, it is necessary to apply a load factor to the three-edge-bearing loads in order to correlate them to the field loads. The relationship is expressed as the external load equals load factor times the three-edge-bear ing load.

Table 2 shows load factors to be applied for any one of the bedding con ditions described in Table 1.
Sec. 6--Hydrostatic Pressures
The hydrostatic pressures to be con sidered in pipeline design are static operating pressure and surge pressure. The static pressure will be fixed by the particular field service condition. Ordinary surge pressure conditions are allowed for in this handbook by applying a safety factor of at least 4.0 to internal pressure in combined loading. Where exceptional surge pressures are a necessary specific con sideration in design, a conservative basis for surge allowance determina tion is the method proposed by S. Logan Kerr.
Kerr's method considers the funda mental relations affecting water ham mer, including velocity of flow in the pipeline, length of the pipeline, time of valve operation or interruption of flow, and the pressure wave velocity. Water hammer allowance is deter mined by the formulas of Eq 2 and 3
h -- 2.3 p = -- g
(2)
In Eq 2, h is the water hammer al
lowance, in feet; p is the water ham
mer allowance, in pounds per square
inch; a is the velocity of the pressure
wave, in feet per second; g is the ac
celeration due to gravity (32.2 fps
/sec); and V is the flow line velocity,
in feet per second, cut off by the valve
operation or other action in the critical
time, or less.

In Eq 3, a is the pressure wave velocity in feet per second; k is the modulus of
compression of water, in pounds per square inch (290,000-300,000 psi); E is the modulus of elasticity of asbestoscement pipe, in pounds per square inch (3,400,000 psi) ; d is the internal di ameter, in inches; and e is the wall thickness, in inches.
w
W represents load; R, approximately 0.5 in.--the radius of the bearings; D, the nominal diameter of the pipe; and C, the clear space between wooden supports. C should be 0.5 in. for diameters of 12 in. and under, 1 in. for 14-24 in. inclu
sive, and 2 in. for 30 in. and over.
Sec. 7--External Loads External loads on conduit are of
two types: those due to gravity earth loads and those due to superimposed loads, which may be static or moving.
The magnitude of gravity earth loads may be computed by using the theory developed by Anson Marston.4 Marston's theory, in general, states that the load on a buried conduit is equal to the weight of a prism of earth (called the interior prism) directly over the conduit, plus or minus the

frictional shearing forces transferred to that prism by the adjacent prisms of earth. The magnitude and direc tion of these frictional forces are a function of the amount of relative set tlement occurring between the interior and adjacent earth prisms. The gen eral form of Marston's equation is W = CwB2 in which W is the vertical load, per lineal foot, acting on the con duit because of gravity earth loads; w is the weight of earth, in pounds per cubic foot; B is the trench or conduit width, depending on installation condi
tions; and C is a coefficient that in cludes the effect of: (1) the ratio of
the height of the fill to the width of the trench or conduit, (2) the shearing
forces between the interior and adja cent earth prisms, (3) the direction and amount of relative settlement be tween interior and adjacent earth prisms for embankment conditions, and (4) the rigidity of conduit support for embankment conditions.
The selection curves included in this handbook were developed using the load-pressure formula, with the ex ternal load intercept being the crush ing strength as tabulated in Table 2 of AWWA C400-65, "Standard for Asbestos-Cement Water Pipe," and the design point on the parabolic curve being that condition existing at a 5-ft depth of cover with the trench width assumed as pipe ID plus 2 ft, a bedding condition of Class C and a soil weight of 120 lb/cu ft. The external loads were based on the positive projecting
conduit analysis because this analysis produced the governing load on the
pipe at the conditions set forth above.
The design point for each class of pipe
is based on a safety factor of 4 times the pressure-pipe class and 2.5 times

the three-edge bearing equivalent of the trench load. Once the parabolic curve has been established through the external-load intercept and the control point, the equivalent depth of cover scale is correlated for the various bed ding conditions utilizing either the trench load condition or the positive projecting-conduit load condition, whichever is the governing load condition.
Values for external loads may be determined by Marston's formula

in which Wc is the load on the con duit, in pounds per lineal foot; w is the unit weight of the soil, in pounds per cubic foot; Bc is the outside width of conduit, in feet; and C,, is the load coefficient. (Tables of external loads, based on soil weight of 120 lb/cu ft, are presented in Table Al.)

The symbol u', is the coefficient of friction be
tween the backfill material and the sides of the ditch.

In Marston's formula, the load co efficient, Co, is a function of H/Be, P, fid, w, k; H is the height of the fill above the conduit; in feet; p is the projection ratio, that is, the ratio of the distance of the top of the conduit above the natural grade, to the width of the conduit; r,d is the settlement ratio; g. is the coefficient of internal friction of the backfill material; and k is the Rankins ratio of lateral pres sure to vertical pressure.

Occasionally, a "trench condition" exists in which the width of the trench is less than two or three times the width of the conduit. In such cases, Marston's trench condition formula may be used for determinations of the gravity loads Wd = Caw(Bd)2, in which Wd is the vertical load, in pounds per lineal foot; Bd is the width of the trench; w is the weight of the backfill soil in pounds per cubic foot,
Fig. 6. Concentrated Superimposed Load
P represents the concentrated load; H, the height from the top of the conduit to the ground surface; Bc, the width of the conduit; and, L, the length of the conduit.
Based on a flat-bottomed, backfilltamped trench, conservative values of p = 1.0, rsdp = 0.70, and ku = 0.192 were used in the determination of external loads for the performance curves. C0 values may be determined from Fig. 3, which shows a plot of Co against H/B0 ratios.
For values of H/B0 greater than 1.3, when rsdp = 0.70, the graph is linear and values may be determined by the empirical equation
Fig. 6. Distributed Superimposed Load
D and M are the width and length, in feet, respectively, of the area over which the distributed load acts. The uniform load is lbs per sq ft acting on area D X M.
and Cd is a load coefficient. (See Fig. 4 for values of Cd).
Where unusually heavy super imposed loads or impact loads are present, the solution of their magni tude may be computed for either a concentrated-load (such as a truck load) or a distributed-load condition. Normal truck and accompanying im pact loads need not be considered when the depth of the cover is greater than 6 ft.
The magnitude of superimposed load produced by a concentrated load (see Fig. 5) is determined by use of the formula.

in which Wsc is the load on the con duit, in pounds per lineal foot; P is the Concentrated load, in pounds; F is the impact factor used to allow for the effects of dynamic loads due to moving vehicles (see Table 3); Cs is a load coefficient, a function of BC/2H and L/2H (see Tables 4 and 5); Be is the width of the conduit, in feet (OD of the pipe) ; H is the height
from the top of the conduit to the ground surface, in feet; and L is the effective length of the conduit, in feet. L is 3 ft for conduits greater than 3 ft in length, but is the actual length of conduit for conduits 3 ft long or less.

Sec. 8--Safety Factors
In developing the selection curves, a safety factor of 4.0 was applied to internal pressures; and a safety factor of 2.5 was applied to external loads.
Furthermore, pipe selected from the curves will have a safety factor of at least 2.5 for internal pressure when combined with a safety factor of 2.5 for resisting an external load consisting of the total equivalent earth load plus a 10,000-lb wheel load and impact load.
Under impact loading conditions, the 2.5 safety factor for internal pressure represents good design practice, for
it is unlikely that internal surge pres
sure would occur at the same instant as external impact.
change in the safety factor, the equiv;
lent external load should be determined
and the selection curve entered at the
proper value on the design external
load scale.
The field supporting strength listed
for pipe so selected has been proved
conservative during many years of
performance under various field
conditions.
.
The application of the curves to
design is shown in the following
problem:
Required: A 6-in. pipe to operate
at a pressure of 120 psi at 8 ft depth
of cover. Bedding condition Class C,
soil weight 120 lb/cu ft.
Solution: Enter the selection curve
for 6-in. pipe at bedding condition
Class C, 8 ft cover. The intersection
of the 8-ft cover line with the 120 psi
operating pressure line falls between
pipe Classes 100 and 150. Use 6 in
Class 150. ,
The intersection of the 8 ft cover
line with the Class 150 curve is at
135 psi operating pressure, or 550 psi
design pressure. Therefore, the pres
sure safety factor equals 550/120
= 4.6, with a safety factor of 2.5 for
external load.
Sec. 9--Selection Curves
The selection curves for pipe sizes 4-36 in. are based on combined-loading theory.
The curves may be conveniently used by entering them through the depth of cover and bedding condition scales. The scales are correlated to the three-edge bearing equivalents of the design external loads with a safety factor of 2.5. Where there is an ex ternal loading condition different from that due only to depth of cover, how ever, or where conditions warrant a

APPENDIX
Data developed for the preparation of the selection curves are included in this appendix. Figures illustrating the various bedding conditions and the earth load conditions used in the preparation of the selection curves are included.
In the table of design internal pres sure and design external-load inter cepts, the external loads are the crush ing loads that the pipe must be able to support without failure as specified in AWWA C400--"Standard for Asbestos-Cement Water Pipe." The tables of design external load (a/) for various field bedding conditions and depths of cover show the calculated lads for Class 150 pipe. For Class i00 pipe, similar calculated loads would be less than those shown in the
tables, and for Qass 200 pipe, the loads would be greater. The maxi mum variation would be less than 5 per cent.
