Pipe joint design considerations are a critical component for the overall performance of culvert
and storm drain installations. Experience has shown that the component responsible for many
culvert and sewer performance problems and failures can be traced back to the pipe joint. The
structural and hydraulic performance of the joint affects the stability of backfill and soil envelope
around the pipe, the line and grade of the culvert, integrity of the overlying embankment and
pavement, and compliance to storm and sanitary sewer permits. AASHTO R 82-17 is to provide clear
definitions of joint performance terms, rational design methodology to determine appropriate joint
performance requirements, and uniform criteria for manufacturers? joint qualification and
contractors? post-installation pipe joint testing.
