Abstract

A manhole assembly comprising a plurality of interconnected longitudinal manhole segments is provided. In an embodiment, the plurality of interconnected longitudinal manhole segments may comprise a first edge comprising a plurality of dowel pins, a second edge comprising a plurality of dowel holes, a curved wall extending between the first edge and the second edge, and a plurality of clip bosses extending periodically along the first edge and the second edge. In another embodiment, the plurality of interconnected longitudinal manhole segments may comprise a plurality of hinges extending periodically along the first edge and the second edge.

Claims (30)

1 . A manhole assembly comprising:

a plurality of interconnected longitudinal manhole segments, wherein each of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments comprise:

a first edge comprising a plurality of dowel pins;

a second edge comprising a plurality of dowel holes;

a curved wall extending between the first edge and the second edge; and

a plurality of clip bosses extending periodically along the first edge and the second edge.

2 . The manhole assembly of claim 1 , wherein an inner surface of the curved wall comprises a plurality of vertical reinforcements and a plurality of horizontal reinforcements.

3 . The manhole assembly of claim 1 , wherein the manhole assembly further comprises a gasket between each of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments.

4 . The manhole assembly of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of clip bosses extend parallel to an outer surface of the curved wall.

5 . The manhole assembly of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of interconnected longitudinal manhole segments comprises three longitudinal manhole segments.

6 . The manhole assembly of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of clip bosses of a first of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments are aligned with the plurality of clip bosses of a second of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments.

7 . The manhole assembly of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of clip bosses of the first of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments are connected with the plurality of clip bosses of the second of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments using at least one clip.

8 . The manhole assembly of claim 7 , wherein the at least one clip comprises notches configured to engage with the plurality of clip bosses of the first of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments and the plurality of clip bosses of the second of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments.

9 . The manhole assembly of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the manhole assembly is 48 inches.

10 . A manhole assembly comprising:

a plurality of interconnected longitudinal manhole segments, wherein each of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments comprise:

a first edge comprising a plurality of dowel pins;

a second edge comprising a plurality of dowel holes;

a curved wall extending between the first edge and the second edge; and

a plurality of hinges extending periodically along the first edge and the second edge.

11 . The manhole assembly of claim 10 , wherein the manhole assembly further comprises a gasket between each of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments.

12 . The manhole assembly of claim 10 , wherein an inner surface of the curved wall comprises a plurality of vertical reinforcements and a plurality of horizontal reinforcements.

13 . The manhole assembly of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of interconnected longitudinal manhole segments comprises three longitudinal manhole segments.

14 . The manhole assembly of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of hinges of a first of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments are aligned with the plurality of hinges of a second of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments.

15 . The manhole assembly of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of hinges of the first of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments are connected with the plurality of hinges of the second of the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments using at least one hinge pin.

16 . The manhole assembly of claim 15 , wherein the at least one hinge pin is placed through the connected plurality of hinges.

17 . The manhole assembly of claim 10 , wherein a diameter of the manhole assembly is 48 inches.

18 . The manhole assembly of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments are connected by living hinges.

19 . The manhole assembly of claim 18 , wherein the living hinges are integral to the plurality of longitudinal manhole segments.

20 . The manhole assembly of claim 18 , wherein a plurality of hinge pins are installed adjacent to the living hinges.
