Title: FINITE-ELEMENT MODELING OF BURIED CONCRETE PIPE INSTALLATIONS
Accession Number: 00372238
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A finite-element computer program, Soil-Pipe Interaction Design and Analysis (SPIDA), was developed for buried concrete pipe. The purpose of the program is to update the current concrete pipe design methods based on the Marston-Spangler approach with the expectation of reducing the cost of the installations and providing a more accurate representation of field conditions. Separate computer models were prepared for a positive-projecting embankment installation and a vertical-sided trench installation to optimize the representation of these two different cases. A wide range of bedding and soil conditions can be simulated. Experience with SPIDA indicates that it gives reasonable results. The program has advanced to the stage where it is ready for trial applications in pipe design. (Author)
