Construction Loads on Buried Water Distribution Pipe
Construction Loads on Buried Water Distribution Pipe
(OP)
I am working with a local utility company evaluating the effects of construction loads on buried ductile iron and plastic water distribution pipe. We are considering construction vehicle and vibration loads on 6-inch and 12-inch buried pipe.
I am having difficulty finding literature that addresses practical methods to evaluate the effects of such loadings on water pipe. Does anyone know of any sources of information?
I have some info from DIPRA that uses Spangler's methods to evaluate pipe loads and I am thinking of modifying their method to include a higher Impact Factor to account for vibration and construction loading.
