TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined parameters that can be used to assess the condition of PVC joints in the field, more than two-hundred destructive tests were done in the laboratory, and two diameters (110mm and 315mm) of new PVC double-sockets were tested.
Abstract: With the objective of defining parameters that can be used to assess the condition of PVC joints in the field, more than two-hundred destructive tests were done in the laboratory. Two diameters (110 mm and 315 mm) of new PVC double-sockets were tested. The occurrence of leakage during water pressure tests, intrusion during vacuum tests and characterization of joint stiffness during rotation were monitored. The results clearly demonstrate that leakage and intrusion do not occur for typical operational situations (angles below 10 degrees) if the rubber ring is in perfect condition. The joint's stiffness increases with the increase of inner-pipe pressure, diameter and with the level of insertion. Insertion plays the most relevant role. The results also show that the condition of a joint cannot only be defined by its angle, but that an extra parameter is necessary: the level of insertion.

Abstract: This paper presents the results of three full-scale experiments performed on segmental concrete pipelines subjected to permanent ground displacement. The first pipeline was made of reinforced concrete pipes and the second pipeline was made of steel fibre-reinforced concrete pipes. The third pipeline was made of a combination of fibre-reinforced and reinforced concrete pipes. An array of sensing techniques was used to assess the damage evolution in pipelines and their overall performance. Three stages of damage were observed. In the first stage, damage was concentrated in the joints near the fault line. In the second stage, the damage occurred in all joints along the pipeline. While in the first two stages damage was mainly concentrated at the bell and spigot joints of the pipe segments, the third stage of damage was characterised by severe damage and rupture of the body of pipe segments located in the immediate vicinity of the fault line. The modes of failure for the plain and fibre-reinforced con...

TL;DR: Jeyapalan and Abdel-Magid as mentioned in this paper discuss pipe failure mode, and on the beam on elastic foundation model, internal pressure and temperature effects, layered model, and total stress are also discussed.
Abstract: This is a discussion of a paper of the above title by J.K. Jeyapalan and B.M. Abdel-Magid published in the Journal of Transportation Engineering, May, 1987, Volume 113, No. 3. The discusser comments on pipe failure mode, and on the beam on elastic foundation model. The internal pressure and temperature effects, layered model, and total stress are also discussed. The article concludes with a closure by the authors.
