truck load, P t. values of E8, Kb, and Kx appropriate to the bedding and backfill
7.4.6 Earth Load, Pe—Earth load is computed by Eq 3 for conditions.

A
These pipes are adequate for depths of cover from 2.5 ft up to the maximum shown including an allowance for a single H-20 truck with 1.5 impact factor unless noted.
B
Calculated maximum depth of cover exceeds 100 ft.
C
Minimum allowable depth of cover is 3 ft.
D
For pipe 14 in. and larger, consideration should be given to the use of laying conditions other than Type 1.

B
The bell weights shown above are adequate for 350-psi (2413-kPa) operating pressure. Bell weights vary due to differences in push-on-joint design. The manufacturer
shall calculate pipe weights using standard barrel weights and weights of bells being produced.
C
Including bell; calculated weight of pipe rounded off to nearest 5 lb.
D
Including bell; average weight per foot based on calculated weight of pipe before rounding.
