AMERON REINFORCED CONCRETE CYLINDER PIPE A HISTORY OF SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE Since before the 1920’s, most of the concrete pressure pipe in the U.S. was reinforced concrete cylinder pipe (RCCP). As the names would indicate, the construction of this pipe uses mild steel reinforcement that is cast into the concrete wall of the pipe. New installations of reinforced concrete cylinder pipe have been completed for various applications such as water transmission, sewer force mains, inverted siphons, subaqueous pipelines and liners for pressure tunnels . Recently RCCP has been specified for cooling water pipelines at power plants. Design basis: Design of reinforced concrete cylinder pipe is covered by Chapter 7 of the AWWA M9 Manual. The design procedure addresses external loads and internal pressures individually and in combinations. AWWA C300 limits the reinforcing steel furnished in the cage(s) to no less than 40 percent of the total reinforcing steel in the pipe. The maximum loads and pressures for this type of pipe depend on the the pipe Installing 84 RCCP for a power diameter, wall thickness and strength plant cooling water pipeline limitations of the concrete and steel. Ameron’s 78-, 90- and 96-inch Reinforced Concrete Cylinder Pipe for the Los Vaqueros Reservoir AMERON’S RCCP MEETS THE AWWA STANDARDS Manufacturing: Manufacture of reinforced concrete cylinder pipe begins with a hydrostatically tested steel cylinder and attached steel joint rings. The cylinder assembly and one or more reinforcing cages are positioned between
