DESIGN AIDS

Design aids are available which contain technical and design information needed to assist engineers when specifying concrete pipe for sanitary sewers, storm sewers and culverts. The design aids cover data on live loads and earth loads, supporting strengths, installation, hydraulics of sewers and culverts, and supplemental design information. In selecting the type, size, and strength requirements of pipe, the following aids published by the American Concrete Pipe Association are available from the Illinois Concrete Pipe Association at minimal or no cost. Please contact the Illinois Concrete Pipe Association or one of its member pipe producers for information or these materials may be ordered directly from ACPA:
