ANALYSIS OF BURIED PIPE UNDER EMBANKMENT
Plane strain finite element programs with isoparametric elements have been developed and used to investigate the problem of projecting conduits on the following lines: Assessment of assumptions involved in Marston-Spangler theory; the effect of various parameters such as height of fill/diameter ratio, diameter/thickness ratio of the pipe, backfill properties and bedding angle; detailed soil pressure distribution on the pipe surface and standardization of these variations for design recommendations; the effect of sequential construction by considering the linear and nonlinear soil behaviour; the effect of nonlinear behavior of soil.
