Phạm vi áp dụng / Scope of standard

Pipe joint design considerations are a critical component for
the overall performance of culvert and storm drain installations.
Experience has shown that the component responsible for many
culvert and sewer performance problems and failures can be traced
back to the pipe joint. The structural and hydraulic performance of
the joint affects the stability of backfill and soil envelope
around the pipe, the line and grade of the culvert, integrity of
the overlying embankment and pavement, and compliance to storm and
sanitary sewer permits. This practice is to provide clear
definitions of joint performance terms, rational design methodology
to determine appropriate joint performance requirements, and
uniform criteria for manufacturers' joint qualification and
contractors' post-installation pipe joint testing.
