Soil Pressure on Buried Pipes
Soil Pressure on Buried Pipes
(OP)
Could someone refer me to some references for calculating the pressure imposed on buried pipes by the overlying soil including dead loads and live loads? I also need it to include load factors for bedding class.
This is primarily for the PE Exam. I've searched the internet; however, I can't seem to pinpoint a reliable reference.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Just for the heck of it look up his "Imperfect ditch"
I did a search on Google for: Spangler pipe loads
and a number of references came up.

I think he was before Spangler and maybe they worked together also.

also American lifelines Alliance has some good guidelines which should be able to be used as a reference - http://www.americanlifelinesalliance.com/pdf/Updat...
