Performance of Thermoplastic Pipe Under Highway Vehicle Loading

The report presents the literature relating to design of thermoplastic pipe, describes the development and implementation of field tests conducted for this project, extends the findings of the field tests through calibration of two- and three-dimensional computer models and parametric studies, and makes recommendations for design and installation of thermoplastic pipe under shallow cover and highway live loads.
