I am currently doing research on pipelines subjected to bending loads. Do you know of any source to flexural design of above ground composite pipelines? Thanks
Thank you for your reply. In the page 11, section D, the pipe deflection is limited to 1/2'' for safe working. A pipe deflection of 1/2'' for a span of 10'' could be more critical than a span of 30''. I wonder if there is any other safe working limit for the deflection of pipes with different spans and diameters. What is your advice on this?
I mostly looking for a source in which the details of above ground pipeline design is discussed such as the allowable deflections, stress and strain etc.
