Does anyone have experience calculating failure modes of CSP as a structural member? I'm using CSP to protect a watermain across a bridge with piers spaced 4m apart. I wish to verify deflection in that span, and yield condition.

Do I just use wl^2/8EI for max moment and l^3/48EI for deflection? How do I get my ultimate values?

Thanks,
Stan
