Effects of Vehicles on Buried, High‐Pressure Pipe
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 3
Abstract
The mechanical effects of selected types of traffic on buried, high‐pressure steel pipe are examined. A section of the Colorado Interstate Gas pipeline across Fort Carson's Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site, which should be most susceptible to damage, is studied. The relationship between depth of cover and steel pipe deflection is clarified using field test results, with special emphasis on dynamic effects (impact factor). The results presented provide the technical basis for evaluating the feasibility of pipeline protection from anticipated traffic by earth cover.
