free span for onshore pipeline
free span for onshore pipeline
(OP)
While for offshore pipelines static and dynamic analysis of free spans are managed by DNV codes (105 and 101), which are the codes to be used for such analysis in case of onshore pipeline?
Is there any references for such issues on the ASME B31.8 or B 31.4?

Spans like you get offshore are very rare onshore and when discovered are normally rectified by burial or compaction of the groundneath them.
Other than a river crossing, you don't have the effects of water, so much less forces or vibration involved.
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
