Abstract

Specifies methods for calculating the working loads, resulting from overlaying material and superimposed dead and live loads, which act on buried vitrified clay pipelines. From these values, a design crushing load can be calculated for use in selecting an appropriate crushing strength class of pipes and fittings complying with AS 1741, Vitrified clay pipes and fittings with flexible joints - Sewer quality.

RECONFIRMATION NOTICE
Major stakeholders of this publication have reviewed the content of this publication and in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation, it has been determined that the publication is still valid and does not require change.
Certain documents referenced in the publication may have been amended since the original date of publication. Users are advised to ensure that they are using the latest versions of such documents as appropriate, unless advised otherwise in this Reconfirmation Notice.
Approved for reconfirmation in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation on 29 August 2018.

Scope

This Standard sets out requirements and provides data for-
(a) calculating the working loads on buried vitrified clay pipes due to-
(i) materials covering the pipes; and
(ii) superimposed loads; and
(b) selection of the crushing strength class for combinations of installation condition, support type, working load and factor of safety.

AS 1741 specifies the minimum crushing load for each nominal size and crushing strength class of vitrified clay pipes.

In addition, the Standard classifies installation conditions and support types and specifies requirements, including compaction, for the embedment.
