Designation:B746/B746M16Standard Specification forCorrugated Aluminum Alloy Structural Plate for Field-BoltedPipe,Pipe-Arches,and Arches1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B746/B746M;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers corrugated aluminum alloystructural plate used in the construction of pipe,pipe-arches,arches,underpasses,box culverts,and special shapes for fieldassembly.Appropriate fasteners are also described.The pipe,arches,and other shapes are generally used for drainagepurposes,pedestrian and vehicular underpasses,and utilitytunnels.Aluminum box culvert shapes are covered in Specifi-cation B864/B864M.1.2 This specification does not include requirements forbedding,backfill,or the relationship between earth cover loadand plate thickness of the pipe.Experience has shown that thesuccessful performance of this product depends upon theproper selection of plate thickness,type of bedding andbackfill,controlled manufacture in the plant,and care in theinstallation.The purchaser must correlate the above factors andalso the corrosion and abrasion requirements of the fieldinstallation with the plate thickness.The structural design ofcorrugated aluminum structural plate pipe and the properinstallation procedures are given in Practices B790/B790M andB789/B789M,respectively.A procedure for using life-cyclecost analysis techniques to evaluate alternate drainage systemdesigns using corrugated metal pipe is given in Practice A930.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system are not exact equivalents;therefore,each systemshall be used independently of the other.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A153/A153M Specification for Zinc Coating(Hot-Dip)onIron and Steel HardwareA307 Specification for Carbon Steel Bolts,Studs,andThreaded Rod 60 000 PSI Tensile StrengthA449 Specification for Hex Cap Screws,Bolts and Studs,Steel,Heat Treated,120/105/90 ksi Minimum TensileStrength,General UseA563 Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel NutsA563M Specification for Carbon andAlloy Steel Nuts(Met-ric)A930 Practice for Life-Cycle Cost Analysis of CorrugatedMetal Pipe Used for Culverts,Storm Sewers,and OtherBuried ConduitsB209 Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-AlloySheet and PlateB209M Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-AlloySheet and Plate(Metric)B221 Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Ex-truded Bars,Rods,Wire,Profiles,and TubesB221M Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-AlloyExtruded Bars,Rods,Wire,Profiles,and Tubes(Metric)B666/B666M Practice for Identification Marking of Alumi-num and Magnesium ProductsB695 Specification for Coatings of Zinc Mechanically De-posited on Iron and SteelB789/B789M Practice for Installing Corrugated AluminumStructural Plate Pipe for Culverts and SewersB790/B790M Practice for Structural Design of CorrugatedAluminum Pipe,Pipe-Arches,and Arches for Culverts,Storm Sewers,and Other Buried ConduitsB864/B864M Specification for Corrugated Aluminum BoxCulvertsE29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with SpecificationsF467 Specification for Nonferrous Nuts for General UseF467M Specification for Nonferrous Nuts for General Use(Metric)F468 Specification for Nonferrous Bolts,Hex Cap Screws,Socket Head Cap Screws,and Studs for General UseF468M Specification for Nonferrous Bolts,Hex Cap Screws,and Studs for General Use(Metric)1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B07 on LightMetals and Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B07.08 onCorrugated Aluminum Pipe and Corrugated Aluminum Structural Plate.Current edition approved Nov.1,2016.Published November 2016.Originallyapproved in 1989.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as B746/B746M 02(2012).DOI:10.1520/B0746_B0746M-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 F568M Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel ExternallyThreaded Metric Fasteners(Metric)(Withdrawn 2012)3F593 Specification for Stainless Steel Bolts,Hex CapScrews,and StudsF594 Specification for Stainless Steel NutsF738M Specification for Stainless Steel Metric Bolts,Screws,and Studs(Withdrawn 2014)3F836M Specification for Style 1 Stainless Steel Metric Nuts(Metric)2.2 American National Standards:4B18.2.1 Square and Hex Bolts
