August 1994 design recommendations for physical properties are conservative for the Insituform product. The research was conducted by the Trenchless Technology Center (TTC) at Louisiana Tech University and funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The test results were plotted and rehabiltation industry and that many products extrapolated beyond the test period to estimate have less than five years of experience. behavior up to 50 years. Standardized material tests (flexure, tensile and pipe stiffness tests) were also conducted to characterize the fundamental properties of the product materials. Figure 1 Figure 2 PUTTING CLAIMS TO THE TEST Overview of Test System and Procedures The installation of all products used in the test was performed by the manufacturers on the Louisiana Tech University campus under close monitoring by TT¢ personnel. Forty specimens each of Insituform x Standard and Insituform Enhanced were tested. Each test specimen was installed to fit snugly inside a 1.83 m (6 ft.) long, 3065 mm (42 in.) internal diameter, schedule 40 steel casing pipe. Each casing pipe was fitted with short, bolted pipe segments (clamshells) at each end. {See Figure 1). " Preparing the specimens for testing involved trim- ming the ends flush with the clamshells, removing the clamshelts, and cleaning the ends of the speci- mens. This resulted in the plastic pipe extending beyond the ends of the steel casing pipes. The specimens were then fitted with end seals applied externally, span- ning the casing pipe and plastic pipe. (See Figure 2). The end seals contained the water at the prescribed pressure, which was Table 1 Material Characterization Tesis (Short. term) supplied between the plastic and casing pipes from a pressurized water distribution system. At least three specimens of each product were used for short-term buckling tests to determine the upper pressure jimit for the long-term tests. A regulator was used to raise the pressure on the specimen, and the rate of load application was kept constant until failure occurred. For the long-term tests, each specimen was pressurized at a controlled rate of 10 psi/minute (69 kPa/minute) until a selected pressure was reached, A minimum of five pressure ievels were selected for each product to cause the specimens to fail at various times over a 10,000-hour test period. Specimens were monitored at least once a day for evidence of buckling. Failures that occurred during normal work hours were monitored Manually, After normal work hours, failures were detected electronically. terial Characterizati ti Numerous tests, including flexural modulus, flexural strength and tensile strength, were conducted on each product according to ASTM standards. On each of these tests, the results found that both Insituform products far surpassed the design values. (See Table 1).

The TIC data analysis compared the Jong-term buckling test data to that predicted by Equation 1. This comparison indicated that Equation 1 conser- vatively predicts long-term hydrostatic buckling behavior of both insituform products.

This was accomplished by comparing the 50-year extrapolated test pressure to the design 50-year buckling pressure calculated using Equation 1 with manufacturer's recommended design values for E,. An Insituform design life in excess of 50 years was contirmed. WITHSTANDING THE TESTS OF TIME The most rigorous, innovative and Independent tests ever conducted on pipeline rehabilitation products clearly demonstrates that service life beyond 50 years can be expected with properly designed and Installed Insituform products.
