New Way of Determining Soil Resistance to Underground Pipeline Deformation

Resumo

This article examined soil resistance to longitudinal pipe displacement due to an external longitudinal force and elongation-contraction due to a temperature differential. A new way is proposed of analyzing soil resistance to changes in pipe length in response to a temperature differential. The results of experimental studies are presented. An area is described in which the obtained results may find application in the design and analysis of underground pipelines.
