Compaction of Backfill
Helpful tips for compacting the various types of backfill:
4. For side fill, compaction usually progresses best when the backfill is compacted at the
trench wall first and compaction progresses toward the pipe.
6. Pipe zone backfill materials should be placed and compacted in uniform lifts on both
sides of the pipe.
7. Compaction over the top of the pipe must assure that there is sufficient material to not
impact the pipe. At least 150 mm cover should be sufficient when using a hand operated
plate vibrator compactor; however, 300 mm is recommended when using a hand
operated impact compactor. A relative compaction of no more than 85% SPD can
realistically be achieved when compacting the first 300mm lift over the pipe.
ANSI/AWWA Standard C950-95 and AWWA Manual M45 are the basic references of this guideline
to select the appropriate GRP pipe for underground installation. AWWA Manual M45 (First
Edition 1996) gives the design requirements and criteria for buried fiberglass pressure pipe.
Fiberglass pipes are flexible and can sustain large deformation without any difficulties for the
material.
Vertical loads (covering soil, traffic and water table) determine a deflection depending on soil
compaction around the pipe and on ring stiffness of the pipe cross-section.
AWWA Manual M45 recognizes that the pipe design can follow two different procedures based on
the stress or on the strain. Watani follows the strain procedure.
The design procedure involves the following steps:
1. Check the working pressure, Pw
2. Check the surge pressure, Ps
The maximum pressure shall not exceed 1.4 the pressure class of the pipe Pw + Ps ≤ 1.4Pc
3. Check ring bending, Sb
and, so on…
