Abstract
The problem of steel pipe bend design with and without lateral soil restraint is studied, and the effect of backfill soil deformation on the bend design is postulated. Studies show that a finite element model utilizing nonlinear soil properties is superior to conventional earth pressure theories and can result in an economic design. The effect of backfill type and the depth of soil cover in resisting the outward radial forces at bend locations are examined. Practical design and construction recommendations are presented.
