I have a design spec of HS-25. Based on an axle load of 40,000 #, what is the depth at which I should install my 36" HDPE storm piping. How do I translate the axle load to the allowable load for the pipe?

thanks,
JEB777

The American Waterworks Association has a manual you can download for the design of buried HDPE pipes.

For that matter, so does the Plastic Pipe Mfgr Asso.

What would you be doing, if you knew that you could not fail?
