This is a demonstration of the comparative flammability of polypropylene pipe (PP), reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), and high density polyethylene pipe (HDPE). Dry hay is ignited in three 18 in. by 18 in. pipes and allowed to burn. This is an unedited test conducted on October 21, 2015.

In the article on the SMART project, it appears that the (4) barrels of RCB were laid right up against each other. If so, that would be poor practice. Reference Appendix Sect.

I agree that careless reporting of pavement failures as sinkholes leads to a distraction from the real problem of specifying materials that cannot accommodate extreme weather conditions, or meet the design life of roadways.
