Calculation Objective

The Objective of this calculation is to;

1. Support the underground Roadcrossing installation of DN100 SCH40 A106-B Pipeline at a depth of 900mm (TOP) by showing
through approved industry method that the stresses induced by live traffic loads will not cause the line to fail.
Two cases are calculated;
Case 1) assumed Soft to Medium Clays & SIlts with High Plasticities
Case 2) assumed Dense to very dense sands and gravels - more likely scenary as we are excavating and backfilling existing
unsealed gravel road with in-situ material.
Calculation Method
AS2885.1 (2012) & API RP 1102 (2017)

Assumptions
1) Crossing case considered: permanent unsealed crossing over uncased open cut trench.
2) OSL Line Class A1 design parameters used
3) 60*C temperature high range selected for conservatism. A closer to actual
4) Depth of Cover of 900mm based on minimum depth considered by API 1102
6) Crossing Design Factor: 0.72 for designated crossings as required in AS 2885.1 Section 5.7.3 (c)(i).
7) Worst case stress given when pipeline is crossed at 90 degrees.
8) AS 5100.2 W80 wheel loading (wheel load of 80kN) on a tyre footprint of 400x250 mm as recommended by AS 2885.1 Appendix
V4 (c ) producing a Wheel Contact Surface Pressure of 80 kN/0.1 m2=800 kPa.
A conservative approach is taken based on W80 having higher loading than ATF 90G-4 for Single Axle Wheel Load pressure.
No information is available on the use of vehicle with tandem axle, therefore the AS 5100.2 M1600 moving traffic load with tandem
axle load of 120 kN (wheel load of 60kN) and tyre footprint of 400x200mm is used as recommended by
AS 2885.1 Appendix V4 (c ).

Conclusions and Recommendations

The selected pipe is deemed ok under the road crossing max. load, in accordance with the calculation method provided by the
