An analytical and experimental study was conducted of thin-wall unreinforced-concrete pipes of dimension ratios 16 through 70 under surcharge loads equivalent to 30 ft of fill. Special attention was directed towards bedding and trench properties and geometries. The advantages and efficiencies of matching the stiffnesses of the bedding with that of the soil envelope are discussed. Narrow trench widths are shown to be more efficient when trench fill is of lesser stiffness than trench walls. Recommendations for practice are made.
