Designation:C181815Standard Specification forSynthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete Culvert,Storm Drain,and Sewer Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1818;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 synthetic fiber reinforced con-crete pipe(Syn-FRCP)of internal diameters 12-48 in.,in-tended to be used for the conveyance of sewage,industrialwastes,and storm water and for the construction of culverts.NOTE1Experience has shown that the successful performance of thisproduct depends upon the proper selection of the pipe strength,the type ofbedding and backfill,the care that the installation conforms to theconstruction specifications,and provision for adequate inspection at theconstruction site.This specification does not include requirements forbedding,backfill,the relationship between field load conditions and thestrength designation of pipe,or durability under unusual environmentalconditions.These requirements should be included in the project specifi-cation.NOTE2This product is a rigid pipe and it does not depend upondeflection(pipe stiffness)for additional support from the soil.NOTE3This standard requires long-term testing of Syn-FRCP inaccordance with Section 9 that goes above and beyond what is typicallyrequired for steel reinforced concrete pipe,in order to evaluate thelong-term material strength of the fiber-concrete matrix.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in inch-pound units are to beregarded as standard.The values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units that are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C33/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 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 ConcreteD7508/D7508M Specification for Polyolefin ChoppedStrands for Use in ConcreteE105 Practice for Probability Sampling of Materials3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating to concretepipe not defined in this standard,see Terminology C822.3.2 Definitions:3.2.1 DReloadthe DServiceload divided by the long-termserviceability factor as determined in accordance withSection 9.3.2.2 DServicethe D-Load the pipe is required to sustainwhile in service.3.2.3 DUltthe load the pipe is required to support in thethree-edge bearing test expressed as a D-load.3.2.4 long-term serviceability factor to account for pos-sible creep in the pipe over time(unitless).4.Classification4.1Pipe furnished under this specification shall be desig-nated as Class I,II,III,IV,or V.The corresponding strengthrequirements are prescribed in Table 1.Special designs for pipestrengths not designated in Table 1 are permitted provided allother requirements of this specification are met.5.Basis of Acceptance5.1 The acceptability of the pipe design shall be in accor-dance with Section 10.1This test method 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 Oct.15,2015.Published December 2015.DOI:10.1520/C1818-15.2For 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 5.2 Unless designated by the owner at the time of,or beforeplacing an order,the pipe shall be accepted on the basis ofSections 11,12,and such material tests as are required in 7.2,7.3,and 7.5.5.3 Age for AcceptancePipe shall be considered ready foracceptance when they conform to the requirements of thisspecification.6.Design and Manufacturing Data6.1 The manufacturer shall provide the following informa-tion regarding the pipe unless waived by the owner:6.1.1 Pipe design strength(DService).6.1.2 Physical CharacteristicsDiameter,wall thickness,laying length,and joint details.6.1.3 Synthetic Fiber Concrete Compressive StrengthMinimum
