Soil Pipe Interaction

What you'll learn

---

Analysing a buried piping network? This module will teach you the Soil Mechanics relevant for buried piping.

In this on-demand module, participants will be taken through:

• Lateral Soil Resistance, both passive and active,

• the "wedge effect" caused by lateral loads,

• the lateral soil equations,

• Vertical Soil Resistance and its derivation,

• the calculation of the Axial Soil Resistance,

• soil pipe stiffness relationships,

• soil implementation in piping stress models,

• Longitudinal Stresses and virtual anchor length,

• exercise to define your own soil properties.
