Update of the interstate standard “Prestressed reinforced concrete slabs for irrigation canal lining of melioration systems”

Introduction. After studying the research materials presented in the reviewed articles, the Research Institute of Concrete and Reinforced Concrete named after A.A. Gvozdev have completed the work on updating the State Standard 22930-87 interstate standard “Prestressed reinforced concrete slabs for lining irrigation canals of reclamation systems. Specifications”.

Aim. To inform the specialists in the field of land reclamation construction about the revision of State Standard 22930-87 provisions regarding the technical conditions for the manufacture of prestressed reinforced concrete slabs for lining irrigation canals of reclamation systems due to the updated regulatory framework for the design and manufacture of reinforced concrete products.

Results. The revision of State Standard 22930-87 addressed the following issues: the structure and provisions of the standard were adjusted; the requirements to the rules for ensuring the uniformity of measurements in the Russian Federation were clarified. The requirements for testing the slabs are presented; control loads for strength and cracking resistance testing of slabs are specified. The urgency of updating the State Standard 22930-87 interstate standard for the industry is substantiated. The objectives and key changes introduced in the new edition of the standard (State Standard 22930-2025) are described in detail. Updated requirements for concrete, including the strength class, as well as frost and water resistance grades, accuracy of slab geometric parameters, acceptance rules, and inspection methods are provided. Particular attention is paid to the compliance of fillers to State Standard 8267-93 and State Standard 8736-2014 for ensuring the concrete resistance to the alkali-silica reaction and guarantying the durability of structures.

Conclusions. The updated State Standard 22930 will facilitate the high-quality design and manufacture of reliable and durable prestressed reinforced concrete slabs for lining irrigation canals of drainage systems.
