How is the Buoyancy Reduction Factor Equation derived?
Right but that is a specific case which does not hold true for all soils. I have tried applying the buoyancy reduction factor equation to multiple different soils with different wet and dry densities and the results are always close to γS * H, but not the same. γS * H is the result of combining...- Ocman76

How is the Buoyancy Reduction Factor Equation derived?
I have seen the following equation used in multiple engineering design manuals including AWWA M45, M55, and pipeline design books going back to the 90s. Rb = Buoyancy Reduction Factor = 1 - 0.33 * Hw / H Hw = groundwater height above buried pipe H = depth of soil cover above buried pie...- Ocman76
