ASTM C890-21 PDF Download

Standard Practice ASTM C890-21 provides guidelines for the minimum structural design loading for monolithic or sectional precast concrete water and wastewater structures. The standard specifically excludes concrete pipe, box culverts, utility structures, and other materials previously covered by Specification C478/C478M. The purpose of the practice is to ensure that these structures are built to withstand the relevant loads and provide safe and reliable performance.

The scope of the standard outlines that it defines the minimum loads to be considered during the design process for these structures. It is important to note that this standard does not provide detailed design calculations or specifications for individual structures, but rather provides the framework for determining the appropriate design loads.
