However,no national accepted installation standard or design method is available for SRHDPE pipes,which limits their usage. Even though ASTM F2562 (2008) provides the requirements forthe SRHDPE pipe product, it does not provide engineers and guidance or instructions onhow to design SRHDPE pipes during installation and under traffic loading
