This study is an update of NCHRP Synthesis 254: Service Life of Drainage Pipe (1998), which itself was an update of NCHRP Synthesis 50: Durability of Drainage Pipe (1978). Developments in plastic pipe, fiber-reinforced concrete pipe, polymeric-coated metal pipe, recycled materials, larger and more diverse structures, and sophisticated analytical soil-structure interaction modeling within the past 15 years led to the development of this report" --Research sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration

Durability of special coatings for corrugated steel pipe / by Potter, John C.(John Clarkson),1921-(CARDINAL)537083; Lewandowski, Laurand.; White, D. W.(Dewey W.)(CARDINAL)319633; United States.Department of Transportation.(CARDINAL)141875; Geotechnical Laboratory (U.S.)(CARDINAL)289020;
Includes bibliographical references (page A1-A8).Introduction -- Literature review -- Corrosion mechanisms, parameters and durability prediction -- Field study -- Protective coatings for corrugated steel pipe -- Durability estimation (expected service life) for galvanized corrugated steel pipe -- Conclusions and recommendations -- References -- Appendix A: Bibliography.Report;The report covers a literature search and review and a limited field study to update previous work related to corrugated steel pipe (CSP) and durability estimation (expected service life). The study, using plain galvanized (zinc coated) CSP as the base line, addresses additional coatings including nonmetallic (bituminous coated, bituminous coated and paved, polymers, fiber bonded, epoxy bonded and concrete lined) and other metallic coatings (aluminum-zinc (galvalume) and aluminum-coated type 2) that may be used to achieve a desired design life of at least 50 years. The study is limited to storm drainage systems carrying naturally occurring surface water only.Sponsored by US Department of Transportation (agency code: HFL-23), and performed by US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Geotechnical Laboratory.
