Buried pipe analysis
Buried pipe analysis
(OP)
If using a flowable fill/lean concrete mix for pipe bedding under deep burial, what is a proper value for the "soil modulus" used in burial calculations? I'm think it related to the modulus of elasticity of the bedding fill, but I'm not sure.

I suggest you download Australian Standard AS 2566.1 available from www.standards.com.au for a few dollars. The commentary alone is worth the price. There is a discussion there on deep trenches and the alternate design methods. Also there is information on the type of bedding/backfill to which you refer.
