Rigid Pipe Proof Testing under Excess Overfills with Varying Backfill Parameters: Section V (Volume II) - Neutral Point Analysis, P/S Pipe, (Theory and Computer Code)

摘要

Equations are developed to describe quantitatively the structural behavior of a prestressed concrete pipe with up to four wraps of prestressing steel and mortar brush coats. These equations are incorporated in a computer code used to analyze such pipes for a variety of loading conditions, either as specified by a designer or resulting from field experiments. In particular, the code will be used, in a subsequent volume (Section V, Volume 12), in the analysis of data for a prestressed concrete pipe at Cross Canyon. This volume includes development of the theory, a sample problem check, a flow diagram and listing for the computer code, the input format and sample input and output.
