CONCRETE PIPE DESIGN MANUAL

Oct 25, 2026

Uploaded by GGG

CONCRETE PIPE DESIGN MANUAL compiles practical engineering data for designing concrete pipe systems, focusing on hydraulics, loads, and supporting strengths. The manual is positioned as a companion to the CONCRETE PIPE HANDBOOK, providing readily usable design information for precast concrete pipe sewers and culverts. It includes structured coverage of hydraulic principles for sanitary sewers and storm sewers, methods for flow and velocity determination, and guidance on selecting pipe size using established formulas and full/partially full flow concepts. Accuracy is emphasized as technically reliable without warranty.

FOREWORD The principal objective in compiling the material for this CONCRETE PIPEDESIGN MANUAL was to present data and information on the design of concretepipe systems in a readily usable form.The Design Manual is a companion volumeto the CONCRETE PIPE HANDBOOK which provides an up-to-date compilationof the concepts and theories which form the basis for the design and installation ofprecast concrete pipe sewers and culverts and explanations for the charts,tablesand design procedures summarized in the Design Manual. Special recognition is acknowledged for the contribution of the staff of theAmerican Concrete Pipe Association and the technical review and assistanceof the engineers of the member companies of the Association in preparing thisDesign Manual.Also acknowledged is the development work of the AmericanAssociation of State Highway and Transportation Officials,American Societyof Civil Engineers,U.S.Army Corps of Engineers,U.S.Federal HighwayAdministration,Bureau of Reclamation,lowa State University,Natural ResourcesConservation Service,Water Environment Federation,and many others.Credit formuch of the data in this Manual goes to the engineers of these organizations andagencies.Every effort has been made to assure accuracy,and technical data areconsidered reliable,but no guarantee is made or liability assumed.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the CONCRETE PIPE DESIGN MANUAL?

To present data and information for designing concrete pipe systems in a form that is readily usable for design of precast concrete pipe sewers and culverts.

How does the manual relate to the CONCRETE PIPE HANDBOOK?

It serves as a companion volume, where the handbook provides the up-to-date concepts and theories that the design manual uses and summarizes through charts, tables, and procedures.

What topics are covered under hydraulics of sewers?

Sanitary sewers and storm sewers are addressed, including system type determination, design flow selection, average/peak/minimum flow concepts, pipe sizing, Manning’s formula and Manning’s n value, flow graphs, and velocity determination.
