We are putting together an engineering schedule for pipelines and the requirement for stress analysis came up. What as a minimum would be needed/ or is typically carried out for pipelines and why? Thank You

Does this vary much for gas?

You can get some background by going to this web site and downloading L.C. Peng's two papers on stress analysis of underground piping:


Also, look at ASME B31.1, Nonmandatory Appendix VII on restrained underground piping systems.

Regards, John
 
Suggest you invest in Australian Standard AS 2885.1

 
could you specifie buried pipe material.if FRP, you have to work with AWWA C950 and AWWA VOLUME 45
