Designation:C50716Standard Specification forReinforced Concrete Elliptical Culvert,Storm Drain,andSewer Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C507;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers reinforced elliptically shapedconcrete pipe to be used for the conveyance of sewage,industrial wastes,and storm water,and for the construction ofculverts.1.2 Pipe designed for placement with the major axis hori-zontal shall be designated as“Horizontal Elliptical Pipe.”Pipedesigned for placement with the major axis vertical shall bedesignated as“Vertical Elliptical Pipe.”1.3 This specification is the inch-pound companion toSpecification C507M;therefore,no SI equivalents are pre-sented in the specification.Reinforced concrete pipe thatconforms to the requirements of C507M are acceptable underthis Specification C507 unless prohibited by the owner.NOTE1This specification is a manufacturing and purchase specifica-tion only,and does not include requirements for bedding,backfill,or therelationship between field load condition and the strength classification ofpipe.However,experience has shown that the successful performance ofthis product depends upon the proper selection of the class of pipe,typeof bedding and backfill,and care that the installation conforms to theconstruction specifications.The owner of the reinforced concrete pipespecified herein is cautioned that he must correlate the field requirementswith the class of pipe specified and provide inspection at the constructionsite.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A36/A36M Specification for Carbon Structural SteelA615/A615M Specification for Deformed and Plain Carbon-Steel Bars for Concrete ReinforcementA706/A706M Specification for Deformed and Plain Low-Alloy Steel Bars for Concrete ReinforcementA1064/A1064M Specification for Carbon-Steel Wire andWelded Wire Reinforcement,Plain and Deformed,forConcreteC33/C33M Specification for Concrete AggregatesC150/C150M Specification for Portland CementC260/C260M Specification for Air-Entraining Admixturesfor ConcreteC309 Specification for Liquid Membrane-Forming Com-pounds for Curing ConcreteC443 Specification for Joints for Concrete Pipe andManholes,Using Rubber GasketsC494/C494M Specification for Chemical Admixtures forConcreteC497 Test Methods for Concrete Pipe,Manhole Sections,orTileC595/C595M Specification for Blended Hydraulic CementsC618 Specification for Coal Fly Ash and Raw or CalcinedNatural Pozzolan for Use in ConcreteC822 Terminology Relating to Concrete Pipe and RelatedProductsC989/C989M Specification for Slag Cement for Use inConcrete and MortarsC990 Specification for Joints for Concrete Pipe,Manholes,and Precast Box Sections Using Preformed Flexible JointSealantsC1017/C1017M Specification for Chemical Admixtures forUse in Producing Flowing ConcreteC1116/C1116M Specification for Fiber-Reinforced ConcreteC1602/C1602M Specification for Mixing Water Used in theProduction of Hydraulic Cement Concrete3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating to concretepipe,see Terminology C822.4.Classification4.1 Pipe manufactured according to this specification shallbe of five classes each for horizontal elliptical and verticalelliptical pipe with identification as follows:1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C13 onConcrete Pipe and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C13.02 onReinforced Sewer and Culvert Pipe.Current edition approved Nov.1,2016.Published November 2016.Originallyapproved in 1963.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as C507-15.DOI:10.1520/C0507-16.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 Horizontal Elliptical PipeVertical Elliptical PipeClass HE-AClass VE-IIClass HE-IClass VE-IIIClass HE-IIClass VE-IVClass HE-IIIClass VE-VClass HE-IVClass VE-VI4.2 The strength requirements for horizontal elliptical pipeare prescribed in Table 1 and for vertical elliptical pipe areprescribed in Table 2.5.Basis of Acceptance5.1 Unless otherwise designated by the owner at the time of,or before,placing an order,there are two separate andalternative bases of acceptance.Independent of the method ofacceptance,the pipe shall be designed to meet both the 0.01-in.crack and ultimate strength requirements.5.1.1 Acceptance on Basis of Plant Load-Bearing Tests,Material Tests,and Inspection of Manufactured Pipe
