Refocusing Design for Water Line Replacement on a Pier Supporting Important Maritime Activities
Publication: Pipelines 2021
ABSTRACT
Current civil engineering practice for water line projects commonly replicates proven design tables and standard details. However, the designer should proceed with caution because there are instances when the use of standard details, or the replication of the details of an existing installation, could cause serious operational and maintenance problems or failure. This paper discusses the necessity to refocus a design approach premised on standard buried pipe details for water line replacement on a pier, supporting important maritime activities, to the actual need to design for a pipe supported on hangers below the pier. Comments discuss the differences in the forces developed in each case, the associated design considerations, and the application of basic engineering principals to address those differences.
