AASHTO M 206M/M 206-20 PDF Download

The AASHTO M 206M/M 206-20 standard specifies the requirements for reinforced concrete arch culverts, storm drains, and sewer pipes. This standard is applicable for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, and stormwater, as well as for the construction of culverts.

It is important to note that this specification is solely for manufacturing and purchasing purposes. It does not include requirements for bedding, backfill, or the relationship between field load conditions and the strength classification of the pipe. However, it is emphasized that the proper selection of the class of pipe, type of bedding and backfill, and adherence to construction specifications are crucial for the successful performance of the product.

The owner of the reinforced concrete pipe is advised to correlate the field requirements with the specified class of pipe and ensure proper inspection at the construction site. This is to ensure that the installation meets the necessary standards and requirements.
