AASHTO M 170M-20 PDF Download

AASHTO M 170M-20 is a standard specification that specifically addresses reinforced concrete culvert, storm drain, and sewer pipes in metric units. The standard is designed to ensure the quality and performance of these pipes when used for conveying sewage, industrial wastes, and stormwater, as well as for constructing culverts.

The specification provides guidelines and requirements for various aspects of the pipes, including materials, design, manufacturing, quality control, and installation. It ensures that the pipes meet the necessary strength and durability criteria to withstand the anticipated loads and environmental conditions.

Additionally, AASHTO M 170M-20 is the metric counterpart of AASHTO 170, which serves as the imperial units version of the standard. This metric version allows for consistency and compatibility with international standards and ensures that the pipes can be used effectively in countries that utilize the metric system for construction and engineering projects.
