3 Basic Soil Pressures on Pipe INSTALLED CONDITION
Rigid vs Flexible Pipe – Vertical Live load Flexible pipe – embedment soil must carry most of the load. Flexible Rigid Pipe Stiff Flexible Pipe Dead load Stiff Flexible Stiff Dead load Rigid pipe – the pipe carries the majority of the load.
Rigid vs Flexible Pipe – Horizontal Live load Dead load Passive support Flexible Pipe Flexible pipe deflects until the side soil can carry the load. Dead load Rigid Pipe Lateral support has slight affect on the Bedding Factor for RCP
6 Flexible Pipe • Flexible pipe - Can deflect 2% or more without structural damage (cracking).
7 Deformation of a Concrete Pipe
8 Design Criteria • Rigid Pipe § § Flexure Crack Control Radial Tension Diagonal Tension (shear) • Flexible Pipe § § Deflection (Strain) Wall Thrust Buckling Stress Local Buckling
