TL;DRAbstract

The objective of this study was to update the 1998 NCHRP Synthesis 254: Service Life of Drainage Pipe, which in turn updated the 1978 NCHRP Synthesis 50: Durability of Drainage Pipe. The study approach consisted of two primary thrusts. First, a survey of North American transportation agencies was performed to determine the current state of practice. Second, a literature review was performed to assess both the state of practice and the state of the art with regard to the subject topic. This study showed a diverse range of pipe types in common usage among the states, with concrete, corrugated galvanized steel, and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes as the most common pipe types in use, followed by galvanized structural plate and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Within the past 15 years there has been significant advancement in understanding the mechanisms of pipe degradation in service. Significant work has been done with respect to corrosion and the main factors that influence its developm
