(OP)
Does anybody know where I can find Pipe-Soil Friciton Angle Tables for different pipe materials and soil types.

For formed concrete (which I assume includes RCCP) against...
Clean gravel or gravel-sand mixtures - 22 to 26 degrees
Clean sand or silt-sand-gravel mixture - 17 to 22
Fine sandy silt or NP silt - 17
For steel sheet pile, probably similar to steel pipe, the numbers are generally 3 degrees lower.
For PVC, no numbers were provided, but seems to me they could be real low.
Does this help? A newer edition might have PVC.

Thank you for that reference.
I found the table you referred to on page 86 at this link: http:/
Do you have any idea how I can get an updated source that has Plastic or PVC listed becuase this was last updated in 1986?
Thanks Again

You'll need to consider hydraulic issues with pipes sloped more than 10%. Maybe thrust blocks on every joint.
You never said why you are needing the info. What's the application?
