Concrete Vault Interior Lining

- Polystyrene - ABS Material - Stainless steel - Copper - Bronze - Asphalt

Dynamic Loads

A _________ load is one that varies in its intensity and is usually temporal in nature, such as the weight of a dump truck that might drive over the grave.

Ziegler Case

A gasket-sealed container which can be used as an insert into a casket or a separate shipping container.

True

A grave box is an outer enclosure consisting of a body and a one or two piece lid, with holes frequently present in the base so that accumulated water and other fluids may drain away.

Concrete Sectional Liner

A grave liner consisting of six or eight slabs of unfinished concrete placed around the casket.

Air Seal

A method of vault closure that utilizes air pressure created by placing the dome of the vault onto the base is known as the __________ ________ method.

Air Tray

A transfer container consisting of a wooden tray with a cardboard covering for the casket.

Impact Loads

An ________ load is encountered by the outer burial container when sudden and powerful application of force is introduced to the gravesite.

Transfer Container

An outer enclosure utilized for the protection of casketed remains during transportation.

Infant Caskets

Are constructed of the same materials as adult caskets. Dimensions vary with the manufacturer. The increase in size progresses in increments of 6 inches in length and 9 inches in height and progress to 5 feet in length.

Vault Construction

Constructed of: Concrete Metal Plastic Polymers and Fiberglass.

Concrete Grave Liner Construction

Constructed of: With or without steel reinforcement Wood Plastic Polymers and Fiberglass.

Fiberglass and Polymer Vaults

Constructed using air seal principle and gasket. Top seal method of closure found on concrete vaults. Much like caskets made of the same materials, they are light weight and possess an almost unlimited lifespan when placed in soil. - Easily stored - Can be stacked in "nesting" arrangement

Concrete Vaults Exterior Finish

Decorative or Functional: - Swirled - Patterned - Coated with sand - Painted in color Protective Coating: - Superficial coating of asphalt Decorative and Protective: - an external cladding of ABS or bronze Non-functional handles or embellishments, nameplates, crucifixes, or military emblems may be applied.

1. Static 2. Differential 3. Dynamic 4. Impact

Four types of loads that directly affect the outer burial container:

1. Support the weight of the earth

Grave Liners One Purpose:

Differential loads

Heavy loads for short duration.

True

Impact loads can present great challenges to the uppermost surface of outer burial containers buried with a minimum covering of earth.

Loads

In addition to weight of the earth over the grave, the outer burial container is subject to other forces called:

True

Materials used to line concrete vaults include polystyrene plastic, ABS, and various wrought metals.

Urn Vault

Metal or concrete vault for urns.

Grave box

Outer enclosure consisting of a body and a one or two piece lid. Most commonly constructed from concrete. Unfinished wood grave boxes are sometimes referred to as a "rough box".

Oversize Caskets

Oversize or larger than average caskets increase in size by 2 inches in width and 3 inches in length. Each step increase is represented by an X after the size. Oversize caskets may require an oversize vault, and an oversize vault may require an oversize grave.

No

Question: Is an outer burial container required by law?

"30W x 86L"

Standard size of an Outer Burial Container: Inside dimensions

Impact Loads

Sudden, powerful force (e.g. earth dumped on OBC when grave is closed; dropping of backhoe bucket).

Top Seal

The _______ _________ method of closure utilizes a sealing compound in conjunction with tongue-in-groove construction at the top edge and the line of the vault.

Static Loads

The _______ load is comprised of the weight of the soil above the outer burial container, as well as the force exerted by the earth against the outer burial containers sides and bottom.

True

The burial vault is an outer enclosure which offers protection from the earth load as well as possessing sealing qualities.

True

The grave liner is an outer enclosure which offers protection from the earth load without protection from the elements.

Dome

The top of an air seal burial vault which entraps air as it is put in position; it also supports the weight of the earth above.

Metal burial vaults

Two pieces 1.Base (shallow) 2.Dome (top) Excellent protective qualities Weigh less than concrete vaults Materials Used: - Steel (galvanized) - Stainless steel - Copper - Thicknesses range from 12 to 7 gauge

Concrete burial vaults

Two pieces: top seal method of closure 1.Base 2.Cap (cover) Many offer secondary enforcement by incorporating welded wire fabric (wire mesh) within the vault's component pieces.

Top seal

Utilizes an epoxy compound in conjunction with tongue-in-groove construction at the top edge and the lid of the vault. Creates positive contact between the groove: (A) within vault cover (B) the sealing compound or epoxy (C) the tongue

Air seal ("diving bell")

Utilizes the air pressure created by placing the dome of the vault onto the base of the vault.

Double Seal

Utilizes the principle of the air seal in conjunction with an epoxy material at the junction of the dome and base of the vault.

Dynamic Loads

Varies in intensity (e.g. dump truck or backhoe drives over grave).

1. Support the weight of the earth 2. Limit the intrusion of outside elements

Vaults Two Purposes:

Static Loads

Weight of soil above and surrounding OBC 18" of earth covering = approx. 4,000 lbs.

Vault

an outer enclosure which offers protection from the earth load as well as possessing sealing qualities.

Grave Liner

an outer enclosure which offers protection from the earth load but without protection from the elements. It does not possess sealing qualities.

Outer Burial Container

any container which is designed for placement in the grave around the casket including, but not limited to, containers commonly known as burial vaults, grave boxes, and grave liners.
