Structural calculation of buried pipes according to ATV - A127, Edition 2000 In January 1998, the working group 1.2.

3 Structural Calculation of Drainage Sewers from the ATV (Organisation for Sewerage Technology) has presented the third edition of the worksheet ATV - A 127 in preprint; the third edition (now called ATV-DVWK-A 127), published in August 2000, shows the actual state of technology and is required by many clients as the calculation basis for the structural calculation of buried pipes. Capacities EasyPipe98 allows e.g. the standard-related calculation: of flexible and rigid solid wall pipes (incl. partly or fully perforated) of profiled pipes of solid wall pipes with nominal stiffness of reinforced concrete pipes (single-layer centric or elliptic as well as doubly reinforced)

Pipes made of all the materials mentioned in the A 127 can be employed, e.g. asbestos cement, concrete, stoneware polymer concrete reinforced concrete HD-PE, PVC-U (thermoplastic) steel, cast iron UP-GF (thermoset)

All the proofs required for the respective case will be provided: stress and elongation proofs (non)linear deformation proof buckling proof non-linear stability proof Proof of safety against failure with not predominantly static loading

In EasyPipe98 those proofs for profiled pipes are excluded, which have to be provided by means of an individual expertise. Alternatively, pipes with given crown pressure force can be proved with the bearing capacity proof. For reinforced concrete pipes applies: the required reinforcement is determined according to DIN 4035 Part F; accordingly, a not predominantly static loading may have to be considered by a limitation of the steel stress following DIN 1045 Paragraph 17.8. The diminution of fissuring is proved according to DIN 4035 Part F.

Compared with the second edition, some of the changes in the work sheet have increased the calculation volume considerably: the earth load is decreased when groundwater is involved. I.e. that the maximum groundwater level is not automatically decisive for the dimensioning

with profiled pipes it is no longer sufficient to use the equivalent wall thickness; differentiated crosssection values, as e.g. internal and external moment of resistance, must now be considered in the calculation. if pre-deformations in the stability proof are considered in the calculation by means of reduction factors, the required buckling safety can be reduced. the allowed deformation of 6% can be exceeded in exceptional cases by up to 50%; in this case, however, a non-linear stability proof has also to be furnished. traffic loads are regarded as being of short-term influence and are considered by means of weighted material characteristic values.

The usage of the ATV-DVWK-A 127 standard is considerably facilitated by EasyPipe98, the program containing all the tables and diagrams and carrying out the calculations automatically without any userinteraction being required. In addition to the calculation process suggested in the ATV-DVWK-A 127 standard, EasyPipe98 offers some optional alterations which usually lead to better results and enlarge the employment possibilities. Having been published in other contexts already, they can be considered safe: according to the ATV-M 127, Part 1, lower stress safety values for flexural compression can be chosen for thermoplastic. perforated pipes can be handled as described in the ATV-M 127, part 1. according to ISO/DTR 10465-3 bending moments can be decreased in the case of adjacent internal pressure. The load case of removing sheet pilings can be considered following the work report Calculation rates for the pipe loading in sheet-piled trenches of the ATV work group Sheeting methods in the ATV experts committee 1.5 (12/97).

User-friendliness In the development of the program, special care was accorded to its user-friendliness: Every entry is instantly tested on plausibility, the input field itself changes colour immediately if an invalid input value is used. The most important results are immediately shown in the lower part of the screen, and as soon as an input value is altered, the result will be updated and instantly displayed. (Play & See-technology). This is a great help when in search of saving potentials. If profile values are available as profile databases, the program can choose automatically the suitable pipe from the recorded range of products (Optimisation). In the same way the necessary wall thickness of a solid wall pipe can be automatically determined. EasyPipe98 has been developed according to Microsofts The Windows Interface Guidelines for Software Design and is therefore easily accessible for every user acquainted with other Windows programs. If EasyPipe98 has been purchased in more than one language, it is possible to switch between the languages while the application is still running, thus making it possible to produce multilingual printouts of the same project. The final output on printer or screen is given in an optically appealing manner: Greek letters and subscripts are performed correctly while an individual company letter heading will be printed on each page.

The available pipe profiles and nominal diameters of one or more manufacturers can be stored in a database compatible with MS-Access. The storage can be carried through either by the IngSoft GmbH, with MS-Access (not included in the offer) or by a special help program, written for the customer and his production range particularly. This profile database can be mutually used by every program of the IngSoft 98 series (e.g. EasySchacht98, EasyRohr98). For profiled pipe producers wishing to develop individual profile geometries for single projects, a special entry section can be included in EasyPipe98. Then, variations in the geometrical profile dimensioning and their effects on the results of the calculation (safeties) can directly be observed ("Play & See"). (See also the separate information sheet: Profile calculation). Material characteristic values can also be stored in a database and can be mutually used by all programs of the IngSoft 98 series. With EasyPipe98 it is possible to define up to four load case combinations within one project. Naturally, all entries can be stored in a project file, leading always to the same result. A consecutive static number can be issued automatically. On demand an installation sketch true to scale can be drawn live while entering the input values. The resulting sketch can also be printed.

Terms of delivery EasyPipe98 has been developed and tested with greatest care. However, as it is not possible to develop perfectly correct software with the actual state of technology, the IngSoft GmbH gives a twelve month operation guaranty for the program starting with the date of purchase. Should EasyPipe98 calculate incorrectly or not be able to carry out a structural calculation which should be calculable according to the core of the ATV-DVWK-A 127 implemented into EasyPipe98 , the user will get an update free of charge able to eliminate this malfunction. For customers of the full version, the IngSoft GmbH will carry out the required structural calculations manually, if necessary within five working days, until the update is available. The core of the ATV-DVWK-A 127 implemented into EasyPipe98 does not include the references to further considerations as graduated trenches or FEM, non-round pipes or pipes with variable wall thickness in their circumference (with given crown pressure force these, however, can be calculated using the bearing capacity proof), pipes made of compound materials (sandwich pipes) deformation layers, uplift proof and the individual expertise following paragraph 9.6 .
