Title: Design Of Polyethylene Pipe Subject To External Loads
Author: William B. Allman
Source: American Gas Association 1981
Year Published: 1981
Abstract: Previous papers by Watkins, Szpak and Allman 34.5 ijayg reported the extensive tests of Utah State University on the structural performance of polyethylene pipe subject to external loads. This paper concentrates on these key relationships from a design standpoint. It outlines good burial practice and discusses a generalized sequential design approach for buried flexible pipe. Actual design examples are given. Appendix A discusses two straightforward and interesting Du Pont tests on ring deflection from compacted earth loading, one of which attempts to simulate the effects of commercial drop hammer compactors. Two related field failure analyses arc also discussed.
