Designation:C98515Standard Specification forNonreinforced Concrete Specified Strength Culvert,StormDrain,and Sewer Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C985;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 nonreinforced concrete pipedesigned for specified strengths and intended to be used for theconveyance of sewage,industrial wastes,and storm water andfor the construction of culverts.1.2 A complete companion to Specification C985 has beendeveloped,C985M;therefore,no metric equivalents are pre-sented in this specification.NOTE1This specification is a manufacturing and purchase specifica-tion only and does not include requirements for bedding,backfill,or therelationship between field load conditions and the designated strength ofthe pipe.However,experience has shown that the successful performanceof this product depends upon the proper selection of the pipe strength,typeof bedding and backfill,and care that the installation conforms to theconstruction specifications.The owner of the concrete pipe specifiedherein is cautioned that he must correlate the field requirements with thepipe strength specified and provide inspection at the construction site.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 ReinforcementC33/C33M Specification for Concrete AggregatesC150/C150M Specification for Portland CementC260/C260M Specification for Air-Entraining Admixturesfor 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 ConcreteE105 Practice for Probability Sampling of Materials3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating to concretepipe,see Terminology C822.4.Basis of Acceptance4.1 The acceptability of the pipe design shall be determinedin accordance with Section 9.After the pipe design has beenaccepted,or if the pipe design has been accepted previously inaccordance with Section 9,production pipe shall be accepted inaccordance with 4.2.4.2 Acceptance on the Basis of Pipe Load and MaterialTests and Inspection of Manufactured Pipe for DefectsDetermine in accordance with Sections 5,6,8,and 11.NOTE2It is necessary that samples be selected at random.Forguidance,see Practice E105.4.3 Age for AcceptancePipe shall be considered ready foracceptance when it conforms to the requirements as indicatedby the specified tests.5.Design and Manufacturing Data5.1 The manufacturer shall provide the following informa-tion regarding the pipe unless waived by the owner:5.1.1 Basis of acceptance and supporting data,5.1.2 Designated pipe strength,5.1.3 Physical CharacteristicsDiameter,wall thickness,laying length,and joint details,5.1.4 Admixtures,1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C13 onConcrete Pipe and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C13.01 onNon-Reinforced Concrete Sewer,Drain and Irrigation Pipe.Current edition approved Oct.1,2015.Published October 2015.Originallyapproved in 1983.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as C985 13.DOI:10.1520/C0985-15.2For 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 5.1.5 Manufacturing and curing process,and5.1.6 Handling Reinforcement:5.1.6.1 Type of reinforcement,applicable reinforcementspecification,and grade.5.1.6.2 Placement,placement tolerance,diameter,spacingand cross-sectional area of circumferential,longitudinal,andspecial reinforcement.6.Materials and Manufacture6.1 Materials:6.1.1 ConcreteThe concrete shall consist of cementitiousmaterials,mineral aggregates,admixtures,if used,and water.6.1.2 Cementitious Materials:6.1.2.1 CementCement shall conform to the requirementsfor portland cement of Specification C150/C150M or shall beportland blast-furnace slag cement,portland-limestone cement,or portland-pozzolan cem
