Designation:A807/A807M13Standard Practice forInstalling Corrugated Steel Structural Plate Pipe for Sewersand Other Applications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A807/A807M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers procedures,soils,and soil place-ment for the proper installation of corrugated steel structuralplate pipe,pipe-arches,arches,and underpasses produced toSpecification A761/A761M,in either trench or embankmentinstallations.A typical trench installation and a typical em-bankment(projection)installation are shown in Figs.1 and 2,respectively.Structural plate structures as described herein arethose structures factory fabricated in plate form and boltedtogether on site to provide the required shape,size,and lengthof structure.This practice applies to structures designed inaccordance with Practice A796/A796M.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsshall be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem must be used independently of the other,withoutcombining values in any way.SI units are shown in brackets inthe text for clarity,but they are the applicable values when theinstallation is to be performed using SI units.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A761/A761M Specification for Corrugated Steel StructuralPlate,Zinc-Coated,for Field-Bolted Pipe,Pipe-Arches,and ArchesA796/A796M Practice for Structural Design of CorrugatedSteel Pipe,Pipe-Arches,and Arches for Storm and Sani-tary Sewers and Other Buried ApplicationsA902 Terminology Relating to Metallic Coated Steel Prod-uctsD698 Test Methods for Laboratory Compaction Character-istics of Soil Using Standard Effort(12 400 ft-lbf/ft3(600kN-m/m3)D1556 Test Method for Density and Unit Weight of Soil inPlace by Sand-Cone MethodD1557 Test Methods for Laboratory Compaction Character-istics of Soil Using Modified Effort(56,000 ft-lbf/ft3(2,700 kN-m/m3)D2167 Test Method for Density and Unit Weight of Soil inPlace by the Rubber Balloon MethodD2487 Practice for Classification of Soils for EngineeringPurposes(Unified Soil Classification System)D6938 Test Method for In-Place Density and Water Contentof Soil and Soil-Aggregate by Nuclear Methods(ShallowDepth)D2937 Test Method for Density of Soil in Place by theDrive-Cylinder Method2.2 AASHTO Standards3AASHTO LRFD Construction Specifications3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of general terms used in thispractice,refer to Terminology A902.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 archa part circle shape spanning an open invertbetween the footings on which it rests.3.2.2 beddingthe earth or other material on which a pipeis supported.3.2.3 haunchthe portion of the pipe cross section betweenthe maximum horizontal dimension and the top of the bedding.3.2.4 invertthe lowest point on the pipe cross section;also,the bottom portion of a pipe.3.2.5 pipea conduit having full circular shape;also,in ageneral context,all structure shapes covered by this practice.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A05 on Metallic-Coated Iron and Steel Products and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA05.17 on Corrugated Steel Pipe Specifications.Current edition approved Nov.1,2013.Published November 2013.Originallyapproved in 1982.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as A807/A807M-02(2008).DOI:10.1520/A0807_A0807M-13.2For 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.3Available from American Association of State Highway and TransportationOfficials(AASHTO),444 N.Capitol St.,NW,Suite 249,Washington,DC 20001,http:/www.transportation.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.2.6 pipe-archan arch shape with an approximate semi-circular crown,small-radius corners,and large-radius invert.3.2.7 underpassa high arch shape with an approximatesemicircular crown,large-radius sides,small-radius cornersbetween sides and invert,and large-radius invert.4.Significance and Use4.1 Structural plate structures function structurally as aflexible ring that is supported by and interacts with thecompacted surrounding soil.The soil placed around the struc-ture is thus an integral part of the structural s
