  1. Current Practice in Buried Structures & PipelinesApril 2012 Presentation by: Howard Lum, P.E., S.E.

  2. Agenda • Design Criteria • AASHTO Design Standards • Concrete Box Culvert Design • Steel Pipe Design • Cut-and-cover Construction • Tunneling Methods

  3. Design Standards Loads: • California Building Code • Caltrans/AASHTO LRFD Standards Concrete Box Culverts: • ACI 318 & AASHTO LRFD Steel Pipes: • AWWA M11 – Steel Pipe Design Guide Concrete Pipes: • AWWA M9 – Concrete Pressure Pipe

  4. Vehicular Load • HS-20 (20-ton) semi-truck • Axle Load (LL) = 32 kips • Wheel Load = 32k/2 = 16 kips • Max Impact = 30% of LL

  5. Projection of Wheel Loads • Live Load diminishes uniformly below grade • AASHTO equation: LL1 = 4 kips / Z12 (in ksf) LL2 = 16 kips / Z12 (in ksf)

  6. Concrete Box Culvert Design • ACI 318 – LRFD • U = 1.2 (D + F + T) + 1.6 (L + H) where D: Dead; F: Fluid/Water; T: Temperature; L: Live; H: Soil/Ground Water F F

  7. SAP Analysis

  8. AASHTO LRFD Procedures • Determine Mu (moment), Vu (shear) and Pu (axial) based on factored loads • Assume concrete section, As (reinforcement), f’c (concrete compressive strength) & Fy (60 ksi) • Check Flexure: Mn = 0.9 (As*Fy)*(d - a/2) > Mu • Check Shear: Vn = 0.9 (Vc + Vs) > Vu • Check Axial Compression: Pn = 0.7 Pn > Pu

  9. Vehicular Loads (HS-20) • Tire contact area (rectangle): • length in the direction of traffic = 10 inches • width of tire = 20 inches 10” 20” Direction of Traffic

  10. AWWA M-11 Design • Internal Pressure (Hoop Stress) • Min. pipe thickness t = p*D/(2S) • p: internal pressure (psi) • D: outside diameter • S: allowable stress (20,000 psi)

  11. AWWA M-11 Design • External Loads • Wc (dead load) = DH • Check axial stressand deflection • Deflection governs as mortar lining is rigid with low tolerance • Allow. Deflection = 2% of pipe D

  12. Cut-and-cover Pipeline • Open excavation and temporary support prior to pipeline installation • Advantages: • Conventional excavation equipment • Lower cost of construction • Exposed ground conditions • Disadvantages: • Access and Right-of-way issues • Disturbance to neighborhood • Traffic control • Environmental issues

  13. Vertical Ditch Construction

  14. Sloped Excavation 68 feet 25 feet 18 feet

  15. Tunneling Methods • Drill and Blast Tunneling • Micro-tunneling • Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) • New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) or Sequential Excavation Method (SEM)

  16. First Drilling Jumbo in USA Hoover Dam 1931

  17. Drill and Blast Tunneling

  18. Micro-tunneling Micro-Tunneling Micro Tunneling TBM

  19. Microtunneling • Diameter ranges from 18” to 108” (9 ft) • Length - less than 1,500 feet • Straight drives between shafts • Limitations: • Boulders and rocks • Very soft ground • Mixed face conditions • Construction debris or fill • Shaft construction

  20. Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) • First TBM invented in 1846 for Fréjus Rail Tunnel between France and Italy through the Alps • Adaptable to various ground conditions • Hard Rock vs. Soft Ground TBM • Soft Ground TBM: • Earth Pressure Balance (EBP) – up to 7 bars pressure • Slurry Shield (SS) – high pressure

  21. Arrowhead Tunnel TBM’s

  22. Questions and Answers
