Bibliography Pipe Material Durability Selecting pipe materials best suited for service as a storm sewer, culvert, sanitary sewer, or small bridge replacement is of primary importance to the design engineer. Most engineers are well acquainted with hydraulic and structural design criteria, but the effect of product durability on the total cost may not be clearly understood. This Buried Fact provides the reference material pertaining to pipe material durability. |

Precast Concrete Pipe Durability Design methods for buried pipe are fairly well established, but durability, historically, has not been given proper consideration. The definition of a durable pipe contains three variables that must be evaluated; required performance, pipe properties, and service conditions. This CP Info reviews the significance of the various physical and chemical factors, which determine the durability, design, and performance of concrete pipe. |

Sustainable Concrete Pipe Resource # e-004 Brochure format (High resolution suitable for professional-quality printing.)The World Commission on Environment and Development has defined sustainability development as: “Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” When building transportation facilities, we must use materials and products that are the safest and highest quality, perform as intended for the design life of the project, and have the best overall value. Sustainable concrete pipe satisfies these criteria. |

Bid Evaluation By Least Cost Analysis Selecting pipe materials best suited for service as a storm sewer, culvert, sanitary sewer, or small bridge replacement is of primary importance to the design engineer. On many projects when alternate materials are bid, selection is too often based on first cost, which may not be the most economical for the design life of the project. The most economical alternate must be determined through a least cost analysis. |

Life Factor Design Of RCP Sewers Several factors have significantly altered the reinforced concrete pipe sanitary sewer market. These factors brought us from the dark ages, into the present situation where modern technology can be applied in the project design stage to the design of concrete pipe in a particular sulfide environment. |

Concrete Pipe Joints, Your Best Choice Resource # e-07-124 Brochure format (High resolution suitable for professional-quality printing.) The function of a pipeline generally determines the performance requirements of the pipe joints. Whether the purpose is to convey sanitary sewage or storm water, joints are designed so that when sections are laid together they will make a continuous line of pipe with an interior free from irregularities. Joints can be designed to provide soiltightness, or watertightness, with the ability to accommodate lateral or longitudinal movement, and strength to handle shear or vertical movement. |

Microtunneling and RCP Keep Ontario Wetlands Intact (YSK Bulletin #103) July, 1996 CAMBRIDGE, Ontario — A microtunneling project employing concrete pipe recently demonstrated that even projects burdened with environmental controversies can be overcome using the right methods and materials. |
