Durability Analysis of Aluminized Type 2 Corrugated Metal Pipe

Durability of Culverts and Special Coatings is intended to provide up-to-date storm drain and culvert material selection methods and techniques to assist the highway engineer in designing culverts. While the program was to consider a variety of materials, the predominant focus was on Aluminized Type 2 corrugated steel pipe (CSP) and its performance versus galvanized CSP. This report is divided into two main sections-field investigation and literature review. The field investigation presents the results of a field evaluation of 32 pipes and their performance relative to that reported in FHWA-FLP-91-006, Durability of Special Coatings for Corrugated Steel Pipe. The present report also includes a review of previous research areas to evaluate conclusions and the utility of existing culvert life prediction methods. The literature review presents a discussion of the various factors affecting culvert durability and its prediction.
