Manufacturing Infraset has several methods of
prolonging the life of the concrete pipe. The
substitution of the siliceous aggregates with
calcareous aggregates results in the extended life
of the concrete pipe. An HDPE liner can alternatively
be added to the bore of the pipe to prevent the
sulphuric acids from coming into contact with the
concrete surface.

Loads on pipes
Working loads on pipes consist of primary and secondary
loads. The primary loads that the pipes must carry are; the
mass of earth fill above the pipe, traffic loading and internal
pressures. The secondary loads result from soil movement and
temperature effects that influence the pipe line. These secondary
loads are accommodated by the flexible pipe joints.

Earth loads are determined using the Marston and Spangler

theory and are dependant upon the type of installation, type of
backfill material and height of fill. The two installation conditions
are trench and embankment.

Traffic loads are dependant upon the wheel loads, spacing Trench condition: Class C
and contact areas, and the distribution of these through the fill.
The standard traffic loads applicable to national highways are
given in the TMH7: Code of practice for the design of highway
bridges and culverts in South Africa. Aveng Manufacturing
Infraset pipes are designed for a NB36 load, which equals
an axle load of 360 kN or a 90 kN wheel load. The effective
contact area of the load is a square of size 0.3m x 0.3m.

Bedding factor refers to the amount by which the bedding

enhances the load-carrying capacity of the pipe. The bedding
factor is defined as the ratio between the supporting strength
of the buried pipe to the strength of the pipe as determined
in the two-edge bearing test. The bedding of a pipe consists
of a cradle of granular material underneath the pipe, which
supports it and transfers the load to the foundation. Bedding
factors are divided into four classes and are determined by the
angle of support and type of the bedding material.
In the embankment condition the pipe is installed at ground
level and is backfilled with suitable material.

SAR portal culverts are manufactured for installations under

railway track and designed to take account of train track, ballast
and backfill load combinations as stated in the Spoornet Loading
code of practice: NR 1983.

The fill height above the culvert, determines the strength class
of the culverts. All SAR culverts are available in two strength
classes to suit either 0-5m or 5-10m fill height conditions.

27
Installation conditions
The trench condition occurs when the culvert is placed into a trench cut into natural ground and then backfilled with suitable material.

Trenched Installation

In the embankment condition the culvert is installed at ground level and is backfilled with suitable material.

Maximum Fill Heights

Definitions
Yielding foundation conditions occur when the founding
material and the fill material are expected to settle at equal
rates (compressible material). The loading is calculated in
accordance with TMH7 Part 2 clause 2.3.3.2 (2).

Unyielding foundation conditions occur when the founding

material is incompressible (soft rock or harder material). The
loading is calculated in accordance with TMH7 Part 2 clause
2.3.3.2 (3) and (4).

Trench condition occurs when culverts are laid in a narrow

excavation and backfilled to ground level.

Embankment (untrenched) condition occurs when culverts

are laid at ground level and backfilled to final formation level.

The combinations of foundation and installation conditions used

in TMH7 are defined as:

Condition 1: Culverts in trench on unyielding foundation with

no projection

Condition 2: Culverts in an embankment on yielding foundation

Condition 3: Culverts in an embankment on yielding foundation

for h>1, 7b

Condition 4: Culverts in an embankment on unyielding foundation

for h<1, 7b

Where h = fill heights in metres

b = overall trench width or, if in an embankment,
overall culvert width, in metres.

Assumptions
The following assumptions and clauses of TMH7 Parts 1 and 2
were used to compile the table above:

• A minimum fill height of 300mm over the culvert units.

Where this cannot be achieved, a 100mm reinforced
concrete slab must be used
• Standard traffic loading SNABC
• Fill material unit weight 20kN/m³
• Concrete unit weight 24kN/m³
• Horizontal earth pressure 7,8kN/m² per metre depth
• Ultimate Limit State Load factors.

 Air Valve Chambers

Air valve chambers

The air valve chamber is a sectionalized structure designed and developed
to provide the industry with a high quality, accurate and long lasting method of
erecting chambers. Incorporating specially designed step irons, the chambers
are easy to install, can be made watertight and can be erected in hours rather
than days.

All units are fitted with lifting sockets to facilitate safe, easy and effective
handling. All units are manufactured with interlocking joints.
