Designation:C150416Standard Specification forManufacture of Precast Reinforced Concrete Three-SidedStructures for Culverts and Storm Drains1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1504;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.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers single-cell precast convention-ally reinforced concrete three-sided structures intended to beused for the construction of culverts and for the conveyance ofstorm water.1.2 A complete metric companion to Specification C1504has been developedC1504M;therefore,no metric equiva-lents are presented in this specification.NOTE1This specification is primarily a manufacturing and purchas-ing specification.The successful performance of this product dependsupon the proper selection of the geometric section,bedding,backfill,andcare that the installation conforms to the construction specifications.Thepurchaser of the precast reinforced concrete three-sided structure specifiedherein is cautioned that proper correlation of the loading conditions andthe field requirements with the geometric section specified and provisionsfor inspection at the construction site are required.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A1064/A1064M Specification for Carbon-Steel Wire andWelded Wire Reinforcement,Plain and Deformed,forConcreteA615/A615M Specification for Deformed and Plain Carbon-Steel Bars for Concrete ReinforcementA706/A706M Specification for Deformed and Plain Low-Alloy Steel Bars for Concrete ReinforcementC31/C31M Practice for Making and Curing Concrete TestSpecimens in the FieldC33/C33M Specification for Concrete AggregatesC39/C39M Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylin-drical Concrete SpecimensC150/C150M Specification for Portland CementC260/C260M Specification for Air-Entraining Admixturesfor ConcreteC309 Specification for Liquid Membrane-Forming Com-pounds for Curing ConcreteC494/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 MortarsC1017/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 Concrete2.2 AASHTO Standard:AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification32.3 ACI Standard:ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Con-crete and Commentary43.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating to geomet-ric sections,see Terminology C822.4.Types4.1 Precast reinforced concrete three-sided structures manu-factured in accordance with this specification shall be desig-nated by span,rise,and design earth cover.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C13 onConcrete Pipe and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C13.07 onAcceptance Specifications and Precast Concrete Box Sections.Current edition approved Feb.1,2016.Published February 2016.Originallyapproved in 2001.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as C1504 15a.DOI:10.1520/C1504-16.2For 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.3American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials(AASHTO),444 N.Capitol St.,NW,Suite 249,Washington,DC 20001.4Available from American Concrete Institute(ACI),P.O.Box 9094,FarmingtonHills,MI 48333-9094,http:/www.concrete.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States15.Basis of Acceptance5.1 Acceptability of the three-sided sections produced inaccordance with Section 7 shall be determined by the results ofthe concrete compressive strength tests described in Section10,by the material requirements described in Section 6,and byinspection of the finished three-sided sections.5.2 Three-sided sections shall be considered ready foracceptance when they conform to the requirements of thisspecification.6.Materials6.1 Reinforced ConcreteThe reinforced concrete shallconsist of cementitious materials,mineral aggregates,admixture,if used,and water,in which steel has been embed-ded in such a manner that the steel and concrete act together.6.2 Cementitious Materials:6.2.1 CementCement shall conform to the
