Abstract
The objective of this paper is to minimize installation length of pipeline and to reduce burial depth for construction by increasing the friction coefficient caused by the interface between backfill material and pipeline. And then, the sufficient friction coefficient shortens the length of expansion joint pipe and gives the life extension of expansion joint absorber for efficient procedure regarding maintenance and administration of construction. The backfill material which is developed in this study has larger and smaller friction angle than that of conventional backfill material (river sand). The backfill material with tire powder provides low friction angle at curved section when pipe diameter increases in size (38% reduction at pipe diameter in 900 mm). When using backfill material with river sand and fly-ash, the mixture mixed with 1.5% fly-ash has 30% and that with 3% fly-ash has 50% reduction effect for minimum installation length of expansion joint pipe.
