LCRS design for the Forward Landfill includes 6-inch diameter pipe,which can <br /> ® accommodate 0.73 cfs of flow. <br /> LCRS Pipe Strength Calculations <br /> The required LCRS pipe wall thickness calculation is based on the Iowa Deflection <br /> Formula. Various factors, such as pipe modulus of elasticity, deflection lag,pipe bedding <br /> constant, height, and density of the waste above the pipe effect the total deflection of the <br /> pipe. Slotting has the effect of reducing the total pipe strength. An adjustment for the <br /> effects of slotting is applied and accounted for during the selection of the appropriate pipe <br /> Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR). A spreadsheet utilizing the Iowa Formula is included <br /> herein. The analysis indicates that a slotted 6-inch diameter HDPE pipe with SDR 7 and <br /> 3I8-inch crushed aggregate bedding around the pipe will allow a maximum deflection of <br /> 1.5 percent under the proposed 200 foot maximum refuse fill height above the pipe, <br /> which is within the acceptable standard of 1.75 percent for allowable deflection. <br />
