Behaviour of buried small flexible pipes
Abstract
An analytical and experimental investigation was conducted to study the behaviour of buried small diameter flexible plastic drain pipes when subjected to surface wheel loads. Tests were conducted on drain pipes buried under sand and also typical agriculture soil samples from Southern Ontario. In addition to soil types, the effect of soil compaction on the stresses and deformation of the pipe was evaluated.It was found that the modulus of soil …
