Soil response against oblique motion of pipes

Journal Article · · J. Transp. Eng.; (United States)
The proposed design procedures define the bilinear load-displacement relationships for soil restraint of buried pipes subjected to oblique horizontal-vertical motion. Arco derived these procedures from available theories on the behavior of soil restraint for inclined strip anchors, extending these mechanisms to the restraint of circular buried pipes. Typical pipeline design problems associated with this condition include restraint of out-of-place bends or combination bends where the net pipe thrust direction is oblique.
