Load Capacity of Perforated Reinforced Concrete Sewer Pipes

In cities, reinforced concrete pipes are often employed to construct storm sewer systems. Due to impervious base layers, stormwater runoff dominates rather than rainwater infiltration, leading to problems in aquatic ecosystems (e.g., degradation in urban watersheds, flood attenuation, and water quality). A thermoplastic perforated pipe can provide drainage channels in applications of solid waste landfills, mining heap leach pads, or irrigation...
