Stress Analysis Methods for Underground Pipelines
Stress Analysis Methods for Underground Pipelines
(OP)
Can anyone recommend a good Pipeline Engineering textbook for calculating stress in fully restrained, below ground pipelines?
My background is in pipeline construction but I’m very interested in pipeline design as well. I’ve read a few papers authored by L.C. Peng that introduce the idea of stress analysis methods for underground pipelines (longitudinal/lateral movement, anchorage force, lateral soil force, soil friction, soil-pipe interaction, etc.) and I’m hoping to continue this investigation in greater detail.
Most stress books I’ve found focus on above ground facility piping with a short chapter on below ground pipe so I’d appreciate if anyone can recommend a book tailored to my specific interest.
Thanks in advance!

PS. For welded steel pipe design, anchor blocks are only necessary because Caesar II says you need them, but that's only to allow the software work. Put them in, move them around to places where the results give no forces on the block, then erase them from the approved for construction drawings. If you can do that, then you can call yourself a pipeline "flexibility" engineer.

After a little searching I found the a download link for the Army manual:

Sorry for the late reply, I've been away from a computer the last few weeks (...a rare privilege these days...).
