E-301 Prestressed Concrete Embedded Cylinder Pipe
(AWWA C301) (U.S.)
E-301 Prestressed Concrete
Embedded Cylinder Pipe
(AWWA C301)
Concrete structures are prestressed when predetermined
compressive stresses are applied to them to counter
expected future tensile stresses as a result of field loads.
AWWA C301 Pipe Data Sheet (For embedded cylinder pipe made in U.S.)
In Prestressed Concrete Embedded Cylinder Pipe (E-301),
prestressing is achieved by helically wrapping, under
measured tension and at uniform spacing, a high tensile
strength wire around the concrete core. This wire wrap
places the concrete core and the embedded cylinder in
compression, developing the pipe’s ability to withstand
specified hydrostatic pressures and external loads with a
safety factor comparable to other waterworks piping
materials.
Concrete’s high compressive strength and steel’s high
tensile strength are combined to form an elastic structure.
This feature allows the pipe to perform even if the design
working loads are exceeded.
