Evaluation of Simplified Design Methods for Buried Thermoplastic Pipe
Published: Oct 23, 2002
Abstract
Simplified equations to calculate deflections and circumferential strains in buried thermoplastic pipe have been developed for AASHTO based on soil-structure interaction solutions. These equations are evaluated here using measurements of HDPE and PVC pipe responses in full-scale laboratory tests. The comparison indicates that the equations are suitable design tools for standard flexible pipe installations. Structural stiffness of the pipes may...
