M11 Harness Design and Material Properties

Presenter: John Luka

Proper harness design is critical to the performance and reliability of steel water pipe systems. This webinar explores how restraint systems and harnessing approaches are addressed within AWWA M11, with a focus on how material properties influence design decisions.

Attendees will gain insight into how forces are transferred and resisted in restrained joints, how material strength and behavior impact harness design, and how to align specifications with real-world installation and operating conditions.

Designed for engineers, fabricators, and industry professionals, this session provides practical guidance to support safe, effective, and durable steel water pipeline systems.
