C304-99: AWWA Standard for Design of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PDF)
SKU: STC_0051151-PDF
This standard defines the methods to be used in the structural design of buried prestressed concrete cylinder pipe under internal pressure. These methods are provided for the design of pipe subjected to the effects of working, transient, and field-test load and internal pressure combinations. The design procedures of this standard are applicable to lined-cylinder pipe having inside diameters of 16 in. through 60 in. (410 mm through 1,520 mm) and to embedded-cylinder pipe having inside diameters of 24 in. (610 mm) and larger.
Description
Topics covered include: loads and internal pressures; load and internal-pressure combinations; moments and thrusts; design material properties; stresses from prestressing; criteria for limit-state loads and pressures; and, calculation of limit-state loads and pressures. The major revisions in this edition of ANSI/AWWA C304-99 include the following: the format has been changed to AWWA standard style; the acceptance clause (Sec. I.C) has been revised to approved wording; a second paragraph has been added to Sec. 4.2, Distribution of Loads, to clarify the sign convention for moments and thrusts; and, changes have been made in Sec. 5.3.6, creep and shrinkage properties of concrete to clarify the method for calculating creep and shrinkage multipliers.
