Sanitary sewer typical design considerations
Sanitary sewer typical design considerations
(OP)
Hi guys
I am having trouble with my local council on this one. Basically I have a reinforced concrete sanitary sewer with the following parameters:
1500mm dia (5')
10000mm deep (33')
250mm wall thick (10")
2 layers of reinforcement in each face of the wall with 50mm cover(2")
Waterstops at every construction joint
Does this sound like typically detailing practice for sanitary sewers. What do others specify when designing sewers or other underground cambers.
All help will be appreciated.

The LACSD may have some standards that might apply to your conditions.
You also need a protective coating on the interior of the RCP.

The inside of the chamber will have a corrosion barrier. I don't know about the civil design of the sewer but I would say that it is a gravity line.
I can post this hand sketch that gives a indication of what the structure looks like.

As others have said, it's unusual to cast in place pipe, but for your shape (kind of an oval) it looks like the only option.
