Calulation of load Distribution

Calulation of load Distribution

Calulation of load Distribution

(OP)

Hi,

Im wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to analysis the load distribution of wheels running over the top of pipes underground, given various depths and dirt consistancy. A basic approach is all im looking for.

EG: Please see attached picture, and suppose a load of 10Tonnes )(dual axle trailer) runs over the top.
Im interested in/how/if the load disapates given the depth.

assume a depth of 5M for the picture and pipe dia;2M.

Thanks

RE: Calulation of load Distribution

Those weapons look a bit dangerous.

I think you've posted in the wrong forum. I would have put it in either "earthworks/grading" or "geotechnical other topics"

Don't know how you can move it to a more appropriate (and popular) forum. If no response soon why not red flag as an inappropriate post yourself and then start again.
