FOR CONDITON WHERE THE PIPE IS LOCATED BELOW THE WATER TABLE
(DISTURBED PLACEMENT CONDITION)
Bouyancy effect of the soil in water

Pv = earth dead load pressure on the conduit

γw = unit weight of water
γd = dry unit weight of backfill
C = height of fill above top of pipe
Rw = water buoyancy factor

C= 9.84 ft
γw = 62.4 lb/ft3
γd = 112 lb/ft3

Pv1 total = 1352.41 lb/ft2

Earth load pressure :

Pv2 = 1102.08 lb/ft2

The water pressure alone is :

Pv2 = 614.016 lb/ft2

Pv2 total = 1716.096 lb/ft2

Use Pv2 total, since value is more than Pv1 total

Surface Live loads Ps

Pp = pressure transmitted to the pipe

Ps = concentrated load at the surface, above pipe
C = depth of soil cover above pipe
d = offset distance from pipe to line of application of surface load

Ps = 88185 lb
C= 9.84 ft
d= 0

Pp = 435.077 psf
Impact factor = 1.35 (for railways for H > 3'
Pp = 587.354

∆y
D = pipe outside diameter, inches
∆y = vertical deflection pf pipe, inches
D1 = deflection lag factor (1.0 - 1.5)
K = bedding constant (0.1)
P = pressure on pipe due to soil load Pv plus live load Pp, psi
R = pipe radius, inches
(EI)eq = equivalent pipe wall stiffness per inch of pipe length, in/lb
E' = modulus of soil reaction, psi

D= 78.74 in
