Buried pipe load bearing capacity calculations
Buried pipe load bearing capacity calculations
(OP)
Does anybody know where to find information on calculating the allowable pipe loads or capacity of buried pipes? Are there any comprehensive resources on calculating the capacity of pipes of all types (hdpe, pvc, steel, clay, etc.)?
Thanks!
Thanks!

But does anybody know of direct sources to such buried pipe design manuals? Do any of the AWWA manuals contain such information?

See Chapter 7 for burial.

Also Structural Mechanics of Buried Pipes by Watkins is a good reference. Also Buried Pipe Design by Moser should be a considered text.
