Designation:A807/A807M17Standard 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 primarily covers procedures,soils,and soilplacement for the proper installation of corrugated steel struc-tural plate pipe,pipe-arches,arches,and underpasses producedto Specification A761/A761M,in either trench or embankmentinstallations.This practice also covers installation of structuralplate for alternative uses that do not involve backfilling orsoil-structure interaction.1.2 A typical trench installation and a typical embankment(projection)installation are shown in Figs.1 and 2,respec-tively.Structural plate structures as described herein are thosestructures factory fabricated in plate form and bolted togetheron site to provide the required shape,size,and length ofstructure.This practice applies to structures designed in accor-dance with Practice A796/A796M.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.1.4 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.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 Methods 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: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 Dec.1,2017.Published December 2017.Originallyapproved in 1982.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as A807/A807M-13.DOI:10.1520/A0807_A0807M-17.2For 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 StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 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 se
