Gravity Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP)

ASTM C76 Standard Specification for Reinforced Concrete Culvert, Storm Drain, and Sewer Pipe

RCP incorporates accurately placed steel reinforcement in its densely compacted concrete wall and is designed to withstand substantial live and dead loads. It is manufactured in diameters to suit all applications and a wide range of D-load requirements.

Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) consists of one or more reinforcing cages (depending on pipe size and wall thickness). When concrete is to be placed by the machine made process, cages are positioned inside the outer form and packerheads are rotated at high speed while the concrete is placed inside the entire assembly. When the concrete is placed by the vertical casting method, the one or more reinforcing cages are positioned between inside and outside forms. Steam or water is used to cure the concrete.

AWWA Manual No. M9

RCPP is an efficient pipe, combining totally encased steel
reinforcement with the basic strength and performance qualities of
concrete. Its smooth,
interior wall is conservatively designed for a
Hazen-Williams "C" value of 140.

Reinforced Concrete Pressure Pipe (RCPP) consists of one or more reinforcing cages (depending on pipe size and wall thickness) and the fabrication of steel joint rings if required. The one or more reinforcing cages are positioned between inside and outside forms and the concrete is placed by the vertical casting method. Steam or water is used to cure the concrete.
