NOTES
1. IF MILD STEEL IS USED FOR SPIRAL REINFORCEMENT, THE WEIGHT SPECIFIED UNDER COL 5
SHALL BE INCREASED TO 140/125

2. THE LONGITUDINAL REINFORCEMENT GIVEN IN THIS TABLE IS VALID FOR PIPES UP TO 2.5m
EFFECTIVE LENGTH FOR INTERNAL DIA OF PIPE UPTO 250mm AND 3m EFFECTIVE LENGTH FOR
HIGHER DIA PIPES

3.TOTAL MASS OF LONGITUDINAL REIGNFORCEMENT SHALL BE CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE

VALUES GIVEN IN COLUMN 4 BY LENGTH OF PIPE AND THEN DEDUCTING FOR THE COVER LENGTH
PROVIDED AT THE 2 ENDS

4. CONCRETE FOR PIPES SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF 35 N/mm2 AT 28

DAYS.
