calculating external forces on buried PVC conduit
calculating external forces on buried PVC conduit
(OP)
The National Electrical Safety Code requires buried conduit to be "designed to withstand external forces to which it may be subjected..." The code says that live load in a roadway shall be the weight of a moving truck, which it gives a diagram to use showing the design forces and area of each tire footprint. Can anyone recommend a good place for an electrical engineer (me) to find an easy to understand way to calculate the forces and strength of the installed conduit? I'm using 4" schedule 40 PVC.
