Large Diameter Plastic Pipe Design

by James C. Schluter, Armco Inc, Middletown, OH, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Advances in Underground Pipeline Engineering

Abstract:

This paper presents a rationale for the design of large diameter plastic pipes for gravity flow applications. This procedure, applicable for all plastic pipes, adapts state-of-the-art soil-structure interaction principles established for flexible metal pipes to plastics. Varying mechanical properties within the plastic material itself are accounted for. Reduced stiffness with increasing diameters is recommended.
