• Abstract:
  The specific aims of the study were: (1) to establish a standard design for the watertight coupling systems for the various kinds of metal culvert pipe and to evaluate the test method for determining watertight systems, (2) to evaluate seam connections of different type metal pipe, and (3) to evaluate some of the various coupling systems commercially available. ; This was accomplished by: (1) searching the literature, (2) running a series of hydrostatic tests on each type of metal pipe using various sizes and systems of gasket materials, (3) reviewing policy decisions on pipe usage, and (4) reviewing new products evaluation affecting this study.
