3. Pipes for culvert applications
Rubber Ring Joint (RRJ)
RRJ pipes are also suitable for culvert applications and are most
effective when differential ground settlement is anticipated
or if a pipeline is expected to flow full under outlet control
conditions with a significant hydraulic pressure head.
See Section 4, Concrete Stormwater Pipes for further details.

fitted with EB bands allow a small degree of flexibility for the
bedding-in/movement of the pipeline during natural processes
of consolidation. Hydrology
The maximum flow to be considered in storm water culverts
and pipes is a function of:
the hydrological data pertaining to tributary overland flows,
as experienced throughout the service life of the drainage
system
The most commonly used formula to determine the quantity
of water generated by a storm event is known as the rational
formula: Q = 0.278 C I A
where Q = discharge (m3/s)
C = coefficient of runoff (dimensionless)
I = intensity (mm/hour)
A = catchment area (km2),
C will most commonly vary between 0.7 and 0.9 say, for
grassed surfaces and paved (sealed) areas. The magnitude of
I, the intensity is a function of geographical area. By example
a Brisbane storm may have an intensity of two times that of a
Melbourne storm.
Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) is a guide to flood
estimation produced by (and the subject of continuing review
Figure 3.1 - Flush Joint Profile by) the Institution of Engineers, Australia.
In addition to ARR, local and state authorities may have specific
or alternative data/design requirements, such the Queensland
Urban Drainage manual (QUDM).

Other Culvert Products
Humes manufactures a wide range of associated components
to provide the complete culvert pipeline solution. These
include:
Headwalls - These are used where the hydraulic design
requires improved inlet and outlet flow conditions.
FJ Splay pipes - These permit curves in pipeline alignment
without the usual problems of hydraulic head loss
(turbulence) that can result from a rapid change in the
direction of the flow at a sharp bend. Details are given for
the minimum radius of curved alignment. See Table 3.1 and
Figure 3.5 for minimum radius using double ended splays
and recommended radius using single ended splays. EB Precast Concrete Headwall
bands can also be used with FJ Splays. For lesser radii, FJ
bend pipes may be supplied.

Load/Pressure Class
Reinforced concrete pressure pipes are designed for the
combined effects of external load and internal (in-service)
pressure. Australian/New Zealand Standard, AS/NZS 4058:
2007 - Precast concrete pipes (pressure and non-pressure)
gives a minimum requirement for factory test pressure
of 120% of working pressure in the pipeline. Working
pressure when specified should include all effects as well as
any dynamic surge pressures in the pipeline.
To simulate the combined effects of load and pressure,
the corresponding test load for a pressure pipe, with a
minimum factory test pressure of 120% working pressure,
is increased above the normal calculated non-pressure value
by as much as 182% by the application of the formula:
1/ T = test load
T=W
( Pt
)
3 W/F = calculated test load
F Pt-Pw Pt = test pressure

8. Jacking Pipes
Humes provide a comprehensive range of steel reinforced
concrete jacking pipes in diameters from DN300 to DN3600
(common size classes vary between DN300 and DN2100).
Historically jacking pipes in Australia and overseas were
based on a modification of pipes designed for installation by
conventional trenching techniques. In 2005 Humes introduced
the S and J-Series jacking pipes specifically designed for
installation by pipe jacking that incorporate a steel collar cast
onto one end of the pipe and an elastomeric seal (rubber ring)
providing a flexible and water tight joint.
Jacking Applications
The International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT)
defines pipe jacking as A system of directly installing pipes
behind a shield machine by hydraulic jacking from a drive shaft
such that the pipes form a continuous string in the ground.
The term microtunnelling is also often used to describe
this method of pipe installation however the definitions of
microtunnelling vary around the world. There is significant
variation in actual techniques now adopted; however, what
is common is that the concrete jacking pipe must meet the
requirements of both the pipe jacking contractor and the long-
term asset owner.
Pipe jacking is used to install conduits below ground for a
variety of applications including:
Sewerage pipelines.

lifting anchors as standard. These anchors can also be provided
in some sizes in the butt and in-wall joint pipes.
Threaded steel fittings can be included in all man-entry
sized jacking pipes for injection of both lubricating fluid and
cementitious grout into the annulus external to the pipe. These
fittings are usually located midway along the pipe length at
the four quarter points of the pipe circumference starting at 45
degrees from the top of the pipe. The actual details of the fittings
and the number of pipes with these fittings are usually advised by
the pipe jacking contractor prior to manufacture.
Timber packers are attached to one end of the jacking pipe using
a suitable adhesive well in advance of jacking. It is essential that
the correct sized packers are placed in the correct position to
ensure satisfactory load transfer between pipes.
Jacking forces and joint deflections must be monitored during

Digging the Trench
Remember, all trenches, deep or shallow, can be dangerous
environments.
Excavated material should be placed far enough from the
top of the trench to allow sufficient clearance for installation
operations, and to minimise the danger of rocks or lumps
rolling back into the trench.
Rock broken away for min. Soft spot removed and
300mm and compacted fill refilled with compact fill
The design engineer has specified the pipe strength class placed between rock and pipe
based on a maximum trench width at the top of the pipe. The
width of the trench nominated by the specifier should not be
exceeded without first checking with the pipeline designer.
Figure 9.6 - Trench Foundation Conditions
Trench walls may be battered or benched above the top of
pipe without affecting the pipe design strength class (see
Figure 9.4).

Large vibrating rollers should always be checked for their
effects. Humes engineers can provide guidance.
The "Haunch Zone" in both "H" and "HS" type installations
is essential to support the lower portion of the pipe. Voids in
the haunch zone under the pipe should not exist as they may
cause instability in the embedment compaction.
The "Side Zone" compaction in HS Type installations is
important in supplying side support to laterally resist the load
on the pipe.
When installing pipes in HS type installations, it is a requirement
that the trench side walls also have sufficient strength to carry
the load shed from the pipe and through the side zone material.
Visual inspection of the physical nature of the exposed surface
is usually sufficient to determine if this condition is achievable,
however, when in doubt, Humes engineers can provide
guidelines and recommendations.
The range of recommended concrete pipe installations varies
from that which requires the least amount of work, "Type U",
Compacting of fill material is a critical part of the installation
through to the installation containing the greatest amount of
preparation and supervision, the "Type HS3" installation.
"Type U" support shown in Figure 9.14 is an uncontrolled
pipe installation and only requires that there should be no
unevenness in support under the pipe. In many instances,
the inbuilt strength of reinforced concrete pipe allows this
very inexpensive method to be used. Where the pipeline is to
be subjected to vehicle loads, this type of installation is not
recommended.

degree of compaction.
Table 9.4 presents a table of equivalent support stiffness.
After placement of the haunch material, ordinary fill material
can be used in the Overlay Zone around the pipe. This material
only requires that no stones be greater than 150mm and no
