Abstract:

This study investigated asymmetric deformation (racking) of installed thermoplastic pipe. ODOT construction records were reviewed to determine the extent of racking noted within Item 611 Conduit Evaluations. Next, a rational method for assessing racking was developed within the framework of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, Section 12. A spreadsheet was developed to aid in the assessment procedure. The results of the methodology were compared to test cases analyzed using the 2D culvert specific finite element software CANDE. Finally, a one-day course covering the basics of the finite element method was developed and presented to ODOT staff.
