The current design practice in the UK for estimating the soil pressure on a buried pipe under
traffic loads is based on a simple equation derived using a Boussinesq solution. In order to …

Buried pipes are important components of the underground infrastructure. Structural failure
of these pipes is costly, socially and environmentally disruptive. To prevent such incidents, a …

In the development of sustainable and resilient infrastructures to adapt to the rapidly
changing natural and social environment, the complexity of the dependencies and …

This paper uses a finite element based approach to provide a comprehensive
understanding to the behaviour and the design performance of buried uPVC pipes with …

In this research, the performance of buried rigid pipes under the application of incrementally
increased cyclic loadings was experimentally investigated as a function of the pipe burial …

The performance of buried rigid pipes underneath geogrid-reinforced soil while applying
incrementally increased cyclic loading was assessed using a fully instrumented laboratory …

为研究车辆荷载作用下黄土路基竖向土压力传递与扩散规律, 基于某管道项目现场试验,
测得不同深度路基中不同速度, 不同载荷下的竖向土压力. 研究表明: 随着深度增加竖向附加土 …

The structural response of small diameter (< 300 mm) corrugated high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) drainage pipes installed on agricultural lands, has not been thoroughly examined …

This paper examines the ring deflection of flexible high-density polyethylene pipe caused by
repetitive cyclic plate loading under various burial conditions and relative densities. It also …

A series of 3D Finite Element simulations was performed to investigate the effect of different
factors influencing the distortions undergone by a plastic culvert tube while subject to …
