Axial Resistance of buried pipeline in Clay backfill
Axial Resistance of buried pipeline in Clay backfill
(OP)
How do we estimate the axial resistance of a buried pipeline with clay as the backfill material?
Thanks in advance

These assume the clay returns to a nice goo-ey mass soon after backfilling. For a soft clay (basically fish poo and other marine detritus) this may be somewhat true, but for stiffer clays the backfill may resemble more of a ploughed field with the backfill clay being in clumps and behaving more like low density rock dump material.
