AASHTO MP 42-22
This specification covers the requirements and methods of tests for steel-reinforced polyethylene (SRPE) corrugated pipe, couplings, and fittings for use in surface and subsurface drainage applications.
Nominal sizes of 300 to 1800 mm (12 to 72 in.) are included.
Materials, workmanship, dimensions, pipe stiffness, impact resistance, joining systems, and form of markings are specified.
SRPE corrugated pipe is intended for surface and subsurface drainage applications where soil provides support to its flexible walls. Its major use is to collect or convey drainage water by open gravity flow as culverts, storm drains, etc.
Note—When SRPE corrugated pipe is to be used in locations where the ends may be exposed, above ground, consideration should be given to protection of the exposed portions due to combustibility of polyethylene and the effects of prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation, as well as corrosion of steel reinforcement.
This specification only deals with this pipe’s materials requirements. The structural design of steel reinforced thermoplastic culverts and the proper installation procedures are given in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, Section 12, and AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications, Section 26, respectively. Upon request of the specifying agency or engineer, the manufacturer shall provide profile wall section detail required for a full engineering evaluation.
