Designation:C7616Standard Specification forReinforced Concrete Culvert,Storm Drain,and Sewer Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C76;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon()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 concrete pipe in-tended to be used for the conveyance of sewage,industrialwastes,and storm water,and for the construction of culverts.1.2 This specification is the inch-pound companion toSpecification C76M;therefore,no SI equivalents are presentedin this specification.Reinforced concrete pipe that conform tothe requirements of C76M,are acceptable under this Specifi-cation C76 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 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.NOTE2Attention is called to the specification for reinforced concreteD-load culvert,storm drain,and sewer pipe(Specification C655).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 AggregatesC76M Specification for Reinforced Concrete Culvert,StormDrain,and Sewer Pipe(Metric)C150/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 ConcreteC655 Specification for Reinforced Concrete D-LoadCulvert,Storm Drain,and Sewer PipeC822 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 ConcreteC1628 Specification for Joints for Concrete Gravity FlowSewer Pipe,Using Rubber Gaskets3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating to con-crete pipe,see Terminology C822.4.Classification4.1 Pipe manufactured in accordance with this specificationshall be of five classes identified as Class I,Class II,Class III,Class IV,and Class V.The corresponding strength require-ments are prescribed in Tables 1-5.1This 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 1930.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as C76-15a.DOI:10.1520/C0076-16.2For 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 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 specified in Tables1-5.5.1.1 Acceptance on the Basis of Plant Load-Bearing Tests,Material Tests,and Inspection of Manufactured Pipe for VisualDefects and ImperfectionsAcceptability of the pipe in alldiameters and classe
