Structural Mechanics of Buried Pipes

About this book

Buried pipes are a highly efficient method of transport. In fact, only open channels are less costly to construct. However, the structural mechanics of buried pipes can be complicated, and imprecisions in the properties of the soil envelope are usually too great to justify lengthy, complicated analyses. Designers and engineers need principles and m

  3. PREFACE Buried pipes are an important medium of transportation. Only open channels are less costly to construct. On the average, pipelines transport over 500 ton-miles of product per gallon of fuel. Gravity systems require no fuel for pumping. Ships transport 250 ton-miles per gallon. Rails transport 125 ton-miles per gallon. Trucks transport 10 ton-miles per gallon. Aircraft transport less than 10 ton-miles per gallon of fuel. Buried pipelines are less hazardous, and less offensive environmentally than other media of transportation. They produce less contamination, eliminate evaporation into the atmosphere, and generally reduce loss and damage to the products that are transported. The structural mechanics of buried pipes can be complicated -- an interaction of soil and pipe each with vastly different properties. Imprecisions in properties of the soil embedment are usually so great that complicated analyses are not justified. This text is a tutorial primer for designers of buried structures --most of which are pipes. Complicated theories are minimized. Fundamentals of engineering mechanics and basic scientific principles prevail. "Science is understanding gained by deliberate inquiry." -- Philip Handler ACKNOWLEDGMENT Gratitude is expressed to Becky Hansen for her patient and expert preparation of manuscript.
