Pipe crushing Load
Pipe crushing Load
(OP)
I am working on a stacking of concrete cylinder piles four high. I am trying to make sure that the piles in the bottom row do not crush from the load above. Can you suggest me any equation to check this condition. The piles will be supported on wood dunnage.

what I can suggest is that you use the 45° rule to determine the width of the resisting section. As the maximum bending moment is at 90° from the concentrated load, section width (or resisting length) would be πD/2, D being the mid wall diameter.
It's a rough method, but is the only one excluding FEM, and can tell you if you are comfortable in a safe condition or not.
