Abstract
Soil friction is an important design factor for restrained buried pipes with internal pressure. Utilizing the bedding soil for thrust restraint eliminates the need for thrust blocks and makes pipe installation simpler. A full scale experimental investigation of soil-pipe friction coefficients was performed for an innovative, direct buried, restrained, PVC pipe under controlled laboratory conditions. The experimental work covered a wide range of...
