Parameters
Bending Coefficient (𝜶 – Design angle)
For the vertical reaction acting on the bottom of the pipe, the only unknown is the bedding angle 2α. The bedding angle at the base
is a function of soil types and degree of compaction among the other factors.
can influence the deflection predicted by IOWA formula by as much as 25 %.
2α= 90° (Concrete Pipe and Portal Culvert Handbook and assuming a “Class C” bedding - poor quality bedding)
The ratio between the load that a pipe can support on a particular type of bedding, and the test load is called the bedding factor
(Coefficient).
 Granular materials without cohesion, maximum for sand and
gravel and also maximum for saturated top soil were considered.
• Transfer the vertical load on the pipe to the foundation
• Uniform support along the pipeline

distribution, we can benefit because of two reasons:

1. We can exactly obtain the maximum bending moment acting on the pipe wall thickness
and bending stress can be easily verified by the capacity of the material we are using (in
our case 𝜎 𝑦= 235 MPa)

2. According to “Masada 2000”, the vertical deflection of the flexible pipe Δy, which is slightly higher than the
horizontal deflection Δx, can be obtained and therefore, the correct 𝑓0 factor can be obtained to check for pipe’s
ovality and its buckling in under pressure condition of the pipe.

The increment of vertical stress ∆𝜎𝑣 can be computed for each section and for each depth
considered by computing the influence factor of 𝐼 𝜎 𝑣
for all 8 wheels (from two trucks)
using the following expression for the corner of each rectangle after Boussinesq:
Using the above expression, the vertical stress increment ∆𝜎𝑣 at each section is
computed for different burial depths of the pipeline. It can be seen that by increasing
the depth, the ∆𝜎𝑣 decreases for each section and also after certain depths, the
difference between the ∆𝜎𝑣 of the sections decreases. This is quite important fact since
the main reason of excessive bending of the pipeline in its axis, is the non-uniform
distribution of the stress above the pipe due to the live loads.

Loadings (Combined load)
Both dead load of the burying soil and the live load
of the traffic are destabilizing forces and therefore for
the reason of safety, amplification factors of 1.35 for
the dead load and 1.5 for the live load is used for the
reasons of ULS design of in plane of the pipeline
section.

It can be seen that the optimum depth for which the minimum pressure is
acting on the pipe’s crown is about 𝐻 = 1𝑚. But this is not the only fact
we need to observe! We have to obtain a depth for which both in
transversal and longitudinal direction, we won’t encounter problem due to
bending or buckling.

Computations – Deflection & Buckling
By obtaining % Deflection ratio, the minimum diameter of the pipe due to ovalisation
can be obtained and the correct reducing factor of 𝑓0 can be evaluated.
Regarding the SLS according to “ASCE - A.P. Moser”, for flexible products such as steel with no cement lining, which exhibit
only deflection as a performance limit, the design deflection is 5 % based on the factor of safety of 2.

Longitudinal
Consider a straight beam supported along its entire length by an
elastic medium and subjected to vertical forces acting in the plane of
symmetry of the cross section.
Because of the external loadings the beam will deflect producing
continuously distributed reaction forces in the supporting medium.
The intensity of these reaction forces at any point is proportional to
the deflection of the beam y(x) at this point via the constant k:
The foundation is made of material which follows Hooke’s law. Its elasticity is characterized by the force, which distributed over a
unit area, will cause a unit deflection. This force is a constant of the supporting medium called the modulus of the foundation k0
[KN/m2/m].
Assume that the beam under consideration has a constant cross section with constant width b which is supported by the foundation.
A unit deflection of this beam will cause reaction equal to k0·b in the foundation, therefore the intensity of distributed reaction (per
unit length of the beam) will be:
𝑘 [ KN/m/m] = constant of the foundation (Winkler’s constant ) which includes the effect of the width of the beam.
𝑅 𝑥 = 𝑘. 𝑦(𝑥)
𝑅 𝑥 = 𝑘. 𝑦 𝑥

Differential equation of equilibrium of a beam on elastic foundation
In the above equation the parameter α includes the flexural rigidity of the beam
as well as the elasticity of the foundation. This factor is called the characteristic
of the system with dimension length-1. In that respect 1/α is referred to as the so
called characteristic length. Therefore, x⋅α will be an absolute number.

The solution of this differential equation could be expressed as:
After solving this differential equation, the following matrix will be obtained:
EIy(x) EI multiple values of the transverse displacements
EIΦ(x) EI multiple values of slope of deflection line
Classification of the beams according to their stiffness:
1. α.l<0.5  Short Beams
2. 0.5≥α.L≤5  Medium Length Beams
3. α.L>5  Long Beams  Our Case
