H-20 loading for PVC pipe
H-20 loading for PVC pipe
(OP)
We are designing a driveway under which we need to put a 12" dia. PVC culvert. Can anyone suggest a website where we can find a table that shows minimum cover for H-10 or H-20 loading, for Sch. 40 PVC or Sch. 80 PVC, etc.?

What I have done in the past is use a pyramid or cone pressure distribution for the wheel load.
Marston and Spangler are the pioneers of the field. You could probably find what you need on the internet.

The website referenced by "canman" is appreciated. I've checked it out, and printed out the technical report for future use.
Thanks to everyone for your advice.
