Standard Practice for

Structural Design of Reinforcements for Fittings in FactoryMade Corrugated Steel Pipe for Sewers and Other Applications1
This standard is issued under the xed designation A 998/A 998M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of 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 (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope 1.1 This practice covers the structural design of reinforcement for ttings in factory-made, round corrugated steel pipe, conforming to Specications A 760/A 760M or A 762/ A 762M, for use as storm and sanitary sewers and other buried applications. This practice is for ttings on pipe installed in a trench or embankment and subjected to earth loads and live loads. It must be recognized that a buried corrugated pipe is a composite structure made up of the steel ring and the soil envelope, and both elements play a vital part. Both main and branch pipe shall be designed in accordance with Practice A 796/A 796M and installed in accordance with Practice A 798/A 798M. 1.2 This practice covers the structural design of reinforcement for ttings such as those for branch pipes. Refer to Section 5 for design limitations. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units shall be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way. SI units are shown in brackets in the text for clarity, but they are the applicable values when the design is to be performed using SI units. 2.

Calculated values of de shall be rounded up to the next 6 in. [150 mm] increment for design calculations. The value of de must not exceed 1.16D. 5.6 This practice is further limited to a from 30 to 90, inclusive. 5.7 This practice applies where the branch pipe is welded to the main pipe and has a specied thickness based on the requirements of A 796/A 796M. 5.8 This practice does not include the possible effects of dragdown loads on vertical risers (manholes) such as caused by settlement of deep lls. 6. Need for Reinforcement 6.1 The need for both longitudinal and circumferential reinforcement as illustrated in Fig. 1 shall be considered. 6.2 Longitudinal reinforcement needs shall be determined from Tables 1-48 as applicable for the main pipe diameter and wall prole under consideration.7 These tables list, for indicated branch pipe diameters, values of ll height, Hnlr, for which no longitudinal reinforcement is required. If He # Hnlr, no longitudinal reinforcement is required; otherwise, longitudinal reinforcement shall be designed in accordance with Section 9. For main pipe diameters not included in Tables 1-48, interpolation shall be permitted. Fittings for branch pipes with

5. Basis of Design 5.1 Reinforcement requirements depend upon pipe diameter, pipe wall prole, pipe wall thickness, density of ll material, height of cover, and live load. Main pipes with intersecting branch pipes shall be investigated in accordance with Section 6 to determine whether reinforcement is required. If reinforcement is required, it shall be designed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 9 and 10, unless one of the alternatives specied in Section 7 is met. Fittings in main pipes with a diameter less than 48 in. [1200 mm], subject to the limitations of 5.2-5.6, do not require reinforcement. 5.2 This practice does not apply to cases where there are two branch pipes on opposite sides of the main pipe, each with a diameter greater than 0.75D, unless the longitudinal distance between the centerlines of the branches measured along the main pipe is greater than D.

required; otherwise, circumferential reinforcement shall be designed in accordance with Section 10. Branch diameters are listed for equivalent depths of ll (He) of 10, 20, and 30 ft [3, 6, and 9 m]. Use the 10 ft [3 m] column for 1 # He # 10 ft [1 # He # 3 m]. For other He not listed, interpolate between the values listed. 7. Alternatives to Providing Reinforcement 7.1 As an alternative to providing required longitudinal or circumferential reinforcement, or both, an increase in the thickness of the main pipe shall be permitted. The increased thickness must be such that the pipe does not require reinforcement when checked in accordance with 6.2, if longitudinal reinforcement is omitted, and 6.3, if circumferential reinforcement is omitted. 7.2 As a second alternative to providing required longitudinal or circumferential reinforcement, or both, it is permissible to provide a saddle plate as illustrated in Fig. 2 with a thickness selected from Tables 55 and 56. Saddle plates that act as reinforcement must be of the same material and wall prole as the main pipe and must extend onto the main pipe on all sides from the branch pipe a distance, a, of de/4 or 6 in.

whichever is greater. The saddle plate must be continuously welded to a stub length of the branch pipe. The stub must have a full uncut section at least 12 in. [300 mm] long. The saddle plate must be connected to the main pipe with sufficient fasteners (welds, bolts, or screws) so that there are no large gaps and so that it will act together with the main pipe. 7.3 As an alternative to providing required longitudinal reinforcement, it is permissible to provide a beam type reinforcement as illustrated in Fig. 3, designed using recognized engineering principles. 8. Materials 8.1 Any reinforcement required shall be a continuous sheet, bar, or structural member. Sheets for longitudinal reinforcement shall be at sheets, but either at sheets or circumferentially corrugated sheets are permitted for circumferential reinforcement. Sheets for reinforcement shall meet the requirements of A 929/A 929M, having the same metallic coating as the pipe to which the reinforcement is attached.

Structural members or bars for reinforcement shall meet the requirements of Specication A 36/A 36M. Reinforcement shall have suitable corrosion protection. 8.2 Mechanical fasteners used to attach reinforcement shall be galvanized in accordance with Specication A 153. 8.3 Welds used to attach reinforcement shall be cleaned and painted or otherwise protected to provide suitable durability. 9. Design of Longitudinal Reinforcement 9.1 Longitudinal reinforcement shall be aligned with the longitudinal axis of the main pipe. It shall be attached to the main pipe above and below the branch pipe, and in close proximity thereto. It may be located either inside or outside of the pipe. Each reinforcement shall have the minimum length specied in 9.2 and the minimum cross section area specied in 9.3. It shall be attached to the main pipe with fasteners (welds, bolts, or screws) as specied in 9.4. 9.2 The minimum total length (L) of each longitudinal reinforcement shall be determined as follows:

10. Design of Circumferential Reinforcement 10.1 Circumferential reinforcement shall be formed to the approximate radius of the main pipe. However, at sheet type reinforcement can be hand formed as it is attached. Circumferential reinforcement shall be attached to the main pipe on both sides of the branch pipe, in close proximity thereto, and shall extend around the main pipe approximately the same distance as the opening cut for the branch pipe. It shall have sufficient length to essentially ll the distance between any longitudinal reinforcements present, but need not bear on such reinforcements. Circumferential reinforcement is preferably placed on the outside of the pipe. Each reinforcement shall have the minimum cross section area specied in 10.2. It shall be attached to the main pipe with fasteners (welds, bolts, or screws) as specied in 10.3. 10.2 The minimum cross section area (Arc) of each circumferential reinforcement shall be determined as follows:

tension stresses that concentrate in the main pipe at these locations. The circumferential reinforcements at the sides of the branch pipe reduce the circumferential ring compression stresses that concentrate in the main pipe. For the identied cases where the concentrations are not excessive, no reinforcement is required. The strength contribution of the branch pipe stub, fully welded to the main pipe, with an assumed thickness of 0.064 in. was considered.
