Design Standards
This section reviews design standards for PVC (Table 5-5), PE (Table 5-6), FRP/GRP (Table 5-7), and
CIPP (Table 5-8) systems.
Table 5-5. Design Standards for PVC Materials
Specification
No. Title Application
ASTM F1867 Standard Practice for Installation of Folded/Formed
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pipe Type A for Existing Sewer
and Conduit Rehabilitation
Design appendix same as F1216.
ASTM F1947 Standard Practice for Installation of Folded Polyvinyl Design appendix same as F1216
Chloride (PVC) Pipe into Existing Sewers and Conduits for gravity.
AWWA M23 PVC Pipe – Design and Installation Working pressure rating; buried
pressure pipe design
ASTM F1867
This standard contains a non-mandatory design appendix for the use of formed PVC in either a partially
deteriorated or fully deteriorated pipe. The design method is the same as in ASTM F1216 for CIPP
products. In the case of a partially deteriorated pipe, where the existing pipe is expected to carry any soil
or live load, the formed pipe is designed to resist buckling from external hydrostatic pressure due to
groundwater or internal vacuum. In the case of fully deteriorated pipe, the formed PVC is designed to
resist buckling from soil, live load, and any external hydrostatic pressure.
ASTM F1947
This standard describes the rehabilitation procedures of sewer liner by the insertion of a folded PVC pipe
and has a design appendix (non-mandatory) that is the same as Appendix X1 in ASTM F1216 for gravity
pipe. No design equations are offered for pressure applications.
AWWA M23
The AWWA manual on PVC pipe design provides information on the general properties of PVC
materials and manufacturing methods. The long-term pressure capacity of PVC pipe is defined, along
with recommended factors of safety. The design of PVC pipe for external loads is primarily focused on
limiting vertical deflection. Longitudinal bending, which might be important for HDD applications, is
also covered by this manual.

ASTM F1606 Standard Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Sewers Includes a design appendix for
and Conduits with Deformed Polyethylene (PE) Liner non-pressure applications.
