1. Based on Table 1 - Recommended Enviroments. 2. SmoothCor Steel Pipe combines a corrugated steel exterior shell with a hydraulically smooth interior liner. 3. Service life estimates for ULTRA FLO and SmoothCor Pipe assume a storm sewer application. Storm sewer rarely achieve abrasion levels 3 or 4. For applications other than storm sewers or abrasion conditions above Abrasion Level 2, please contact your CONTECH Sales Representative for gage and coating recommendations. 4. Design service life for 8 gage galvanized is 97 years. 5. Invert protection to consist of velocity reduction structures. 6. Asphalt coated and paved invert or velocity reduction structures are needed. 7. Requires a eld applied concrete paved invert with minimum thickness 1 above corrugation crests. In some cases, adding one gage can be substituted for the concrete paved invert. 8. 75 year service life for polymer coated is based on a pH range of 4-9 and resistivity greater than 750 ohm-cm. 9. 100 year service life for polymer coated is based on a pH range of 5-9 and resistivity greater than 1500 ohm-cm.

* These values are based on the AISI Flexibility Factor limit (0.0433 x 1.5) for pipe-arch. Due to variations in arching equipment, thicker gages may be required to prevent crimping of the haunches.
Heights-of-cover notes 1. These tables are for lock-seam or welded-seam construction. They are not for riveted construction. Consult your CONTECH Sales Representative for height-of-cover tables on riveted pipe. 2. These values, where applicable, were calculated using K=0.86 as adopted in the AISI Handbook, Fifth Edition, 1994. 3. The haunch areas of a pipe-arch are the most critical zone for backlling. Extra care should be taken to provide good material and compaction to a point above the spring line. 4. E 80 minimum cover is measured from top of pipe to bottom of tie. 5. H 20 and H 25 minimum cover is measured from top of pipe to bottom of exible pavement or top of rigid pavement. 6. The H 20 and H 25 pipe-arch tables are based on 2 tons per square foot corner bearing pressures. 7. The E 80 pipe-arch tables minimum and maximum covers are based on the corner bearing pressures shown. These values may increase or decrease with changes in allowable corner bearing pressures. 8. 0.052 is 18 gage. 0.064 is 16 gage. 0.079 is 14 gage. 0.109 is 12 gage. 0.138 is 10 gage. 0.168 is 8 gage. 9. For construction loads, see Page 12. 10. 1-1/2 x 1/4 corrugation. H20, H25 and E80 loading. 11. SmoothCor has same height-of-cover properties as corrugated steel pipe. The exterior shell of SmoothCor is manufactured in either 2-2/3 x 1/2 or 3 x 1 corrugations; maximum exterior shell gage is 12.

Construction Loads For temporary construction vehicle loads, an extra amount of compacted cover may be required over the top of the pipe. The height-of-cover shall meet minimum requirements shown in the table below. The use of heavy construction equipment necessitates greater protection for the pipe than nished grade cover minimums for normal highway trafc.
Temporary Cover For Construction Loads Height-Of-Cover Finished Grade
Minimum cover may vary depending on local conditions. The contractor must provide the additional cover required to avoid damage to the pipe. Minimum cover is measured from the top of the pipe to the top of the maintained construction roadway surface.

need for a well graded, granular backll material to prevent soil migration, or a geotextile separator can be used. During backll, only small tracked vehicles (D-4 or smaller) should be near the pipe as ll progresses above the top and to nished grade. The engineer and contractor are cautioned that the minimum cover may need to be increased to handle temporary construction vehicle loads (larger than a D-4). Refer to Heavy construction loads below. Salt water installation In salt water installations, the bedding and backll around the pipe must be clean granular material. If the backll is subject to possible inltration by the adjacent native soil, the clean granular backll should be wrapped in a geotextile. Pavement For minimum cover applications, CONTECH recommends that a properly designed exible or rigid pavement be provided to distribute level loads and maintain cover heights. Heavy construction loads For temporary construction vehicle loads, an extra amount of compacted cover may be required over the top of the pipe. The height-of-cover shall meet the minimum requirements shown in the Table below. The use of heavy construction equipment necessitates greater protection for the pipe than nished grade cover minimums for normal highway trafc.

SmoothCor Pipe
Excellent Hydraulics, Long Lengths and Easy Installation Corrugated Steel Shell SmoothCor pipe has a smooth interior steel liner that provides a Mannings n of 0.012. Its rugged, corrugated steel shell supplies the structural strength to outperform rigid pipe. SmoothCor pipe is both the economical and performance alternate to concrete. Superior hydraulics SmoothCor, with its smooth interior surface, is hydraulically superior to conventional corrugated steel pipe and with fewer joints and better interior surface, outperforms reinforced concrete pipe. SmoothCor, with its long lengths, light weight and beam strength, is superior to concrete pipe in many difcult situations such as weak soils, poor subsurface drainage conditions, steep slopes and high lls. SmoothCor should be specied as an alternate under normal site conditions, and specied exclusively under very difcult situations that demand the strength of CSP with positive joints and a hydraulically efcient smooth liner. Two Pipe Shapes In addition to full-round pipe, SmoothCor comes in a pipearch shape for limited headroom conditions. The low, wide pipe-arch design distributes the ow area horizontally, enabling it to be installed with lower head room than a round pipe. Reference specications
Material Pipe Design Installation Polymer-Coated Polymer Steel Pipe Steel Pipe ASTM A 929 AASHTO M246 ASTM A 742 AASHTO M245 ASTM A 762 & A 760 AASHTO Section 12 ASTM A 796 AASHTO Section 26 ASTM A 798
Diameters SmoothCor is available in diameters ranging from 18 inches to 66 inches in 2 2/3 x 1/2 corrugation. The 3 x 1 corrugation is available in diameters of 48 inches to 126 inches. Pipe arch sizes range from 21 x 15 through 77 x 52 for 2 2/3 x 1/2 corrugations, and 53 x 41 through 137 x 87 for 3x1 corrugations. Materials SmoothCor is available with Dow's TRENCHCOAT that allows the engineer to design for long service life. TRENCHCOAT is a tough, heavy-gage polymer lm laminated to both sides of the steel coil, providing a barrier to corrosion and mild abrasion. TRENCHCOAT is particularly effective for protection in corrosive soils. Fittings SmoothCor can be fabricated into any type of structure including tees, elbows, laterals, catch basins, manifolds and reducers. Pre-fabricated ttings are more economical and have superior hydraulic characteristics when compared to concrete structures.

Structural Design
SmoothCor is lined with either 18 or 20 gage steel. CONTECH has taken a conservative approach to the heightof-cover. The maximum heights-of-cover are based on the shell thinkness with no additional structural allowance for the liner as provided for in the AASHTO and ASTM design specications. 19
of the pipe. The bell & gasket shall be thoroughly lubed just before stabbing in the bell. Do not place hands, ngers, or any other body parts between bell and spigot during assembly. If it is necessary to pull the joint apart, the bell, spigot and gasket shall be inspected and cleaned of any dirt or debris prior to re-stabbing. Corrugated Metal Pipe Bell and Spigot Joint Specication The joints shall be of such design and the ends of the corrugated metal pipe sections so formed that the pipe can be laid together to make a continuous line of pipe. The joint shall be made from the same material as the pipe and shall prevent inltration of the ll material.
Four Times Faster Installation Than Concrete The QUICK STABs bell and spigot joining system allows pipe segments to be joined quicker than reinforced concrete pipe. Next, add in CONTECHs corrugated metal pipes length advantageeach segment is four times longer than standard concrete pipe lengths. That means fewer joints and faster installationup to four times faster! Plus, with the bell only 1-1/2 larger than the pipe, trench excavation is considerably less compared with concreteagain, saving time and money. Field Installation Instructions The spigot and bell ends must be cleaned of any dirt or debris prior to assembly. The uted gasket shall be placed in the rst corrugation with the lower ute nearest the end The Bell and Spigot joint is available on ULTRA FLO and 2-2/3 x 1/2 corrugation in 15 through 60 diameter. 20

End Sections
Easily installed, easily maintained culvert end treatments for corrugated metal pipe, reinforced concrete pipe and HDPE Pipe CONTECH End Sections provide a practical, economical and hydraulically superior method of nishing a variety of culvert materials. The lightweight, exible metal construction of CONTECH End Sections creates an attractive, durable and erosionpreventing treatment for all sizes of culvert inlets and outlets. They can be used with corrugated metal pipe having either annular or helical corrugations, and both reinforced concrete and plastic pipes. End sections can be salvaged when lengthening or relocating the culvert. Standard End Sections are fabricated from pregalvanized steel. For added corrosion resistance, Aluminized Type II or Aluminum End Sections are available in smaller sizes. Special End Sections for multiple pipe installations may be available on a specic inquiry basis. Better hydraulics Flow characteristics are greatly improved by the exacting design of CONTECH End Sections. Scour and sedimentation conditions are improved, and headwater depth can be better controlled. Culverts aligned with the stream ow and nished with CONTECH End Sections generally require no additional hydraulic controls. Improved appearance CONTECH End Sections blend well with the surroundings. The tapered sides of an End Section merge with slope design to improve roadside appearance. Unsightly weeds and debris collection at the culvert end are reduced. Economical installation Lightweight equipment and simple crew instructions result in smooth and easy installation. CONTECH End Sections are easily joined to culvert barrels, forming a continuous, onepiece structure. For easiest installation, End Sections should be installed at the same time as the culvert. Installation is completed by tamping soil around the End Section. Low maintenance CONTECH End Sections reduce maintenance expense because their tapered design promotes easier mowing and snow removal. There is no obstruction to hamper weed cutting. Plan
