Designation:C50616bStandard Specification forReinforced Concrete Arch Culvert,Storm Drain,and SewerPipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C506;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 arch-shaped con-crete pipe to be used for the conveyance of sewage,industrialwastes,storm water,and for the construction of culverts.1.2 This specification is the inch-pound companion toC506M;therefore,no SI equivalents are presented in thespecification.Reinforced concrete pipe that conform to therequirements of C506M are acceptable under this SpecificationC506 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 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 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 three classes identified as ClassA-II,A-III,andA-IV.Thestrength requirements are prescribed in Table 1.5.Basis of Acceptance5.1 Unless otherwise designated by the owner at the time of,or before placing an order,there are two separate and alterna-tive 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 for Visual1This 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 2016 as C506 16a.DOI:10.1520/C0506-16B.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 Defects and ImperfectionsAcceptability of the pipe in alldiameters and classes produced in accordance with 7.1 or 7.2,shall be determined by the results of the three-edge-bearingtests as defined in 11.3.1;by such material tests as are requiredin accordance with 6.2,6.3,6.5,and 6.6,by an absorption testof the concrete from the wall of the pipe as required in 11.9;and by visual inspection of the finished pipe to determine itsconformance with the accepted design and its freedom fromdefects.5.1.2 Acceptance on Basis of Material Tests and Inspectionof Manufactured Pipe for Defects and ImperfectionsAcceptability of th
