Abstract: When pipelines are subjected to traffic loads, ground settlements, blasting, or earthquake ground ruptures, detrimental stresses can be induced. Current design methods used to determine these stresses are identified and recommendations are made to develop rule-of-thumb solutions. Distribution piping systems differ from Transmission systems in that generally they are smaller in size, operate at lower pressures, and are located closer to the consumers -usually in city streets. While these two systems differ, they are subject to many similar loading conditions that can produce potentially damaging stresses. These stresses have to be limited in their design to safe values and to meet prevailing code requirements.
