Abstract
The velocity of the surge wave is fundamental in the solution of water-hammer problems. To date little, if any, information has been published on this subject relating to reinforced and prestressed concrete pressure pipe. Unlike steel and cast-iron pipe, the surge-wave velocity for concrete pressure pipe is not a constant but varies with the maximum water-hammer pressure. This relationship is outlined together with test results from several existing concrete pressure-pipelines.
