Dear expats,
I am doing a stress analysis for a buried pipeline using
CAESAR II software. CAESAR II software has two types of
soil model type one is by CAESAR II Basic Model which is
based on L.C. Peng, published in 1978 and another type is
American Lifelines Alliance which is based on "Appendix B:
Soil Spring Representation" from the Guidelines for the
Design of Buried Steel Pipe by the American Lifelines
Alliance.

Dear Dave,
I have to model a 8" buried pipeline. In this preliminary
phase I have to verify only the pipeline sections at starting
and ending point and my battery limit is the first support
above ground ( my model starts at this support and I will
provide the axial displacement). But, my question Is:
I have a 8" pipeline, buried depth=1,5m and 100C design
temperature; for contain the thermal expansion i placed a
buried expansion loop about at 90 meters from the vertical
bend(where the pipeline become buried), then I modeled
further 250 meters of pipeline up to virtual anchor point.
the loop and vertical bends are 40 ND radius (this is a
Client requirement, they don't want hot bend) .I have
some doubts regard the output results:
1) I modeled the soil by Peng method and ALA Method:
-In the first case the axial displacement at first above
support is 88mm

Dear,
If I understood as Dave, your loop is buried, so your bends
are surrounded by soil. How are those bends going to
move as much as you require and absorb expansion?
As Dave said, I also think that those loop pipes will work
more as an axial anchor than as a loop. Maybe I am
missunderstanding how is the loop placed.
Regards.

Dear Pablo,
Ok I understand that, being my loop buried it is no able to
absorb expansion because the bends are not going to
move being surrounded by soil.
However, What Can I do in order to reduce the
displacements at firt above support? (client does not want
anchor block or 5ND bends).
I think that I cannot obtain displacements at first above
support less than those already calculated(100mm). then,
I will pass this displacements to the piping and they will do
their design calculation. (battery limit between me and
piping is first above support and my model start at this
point).

Hello mariog,
is the first time for me that I have to model a buried
pipeline, then I have a lot of doubts and I don't know if the
model is correct.
1) I modeled a bend simply with a piece of pipe,doubleclicking on bend check box and appropriate bend radius
(8764m). How do you intend to model a bend with radius
40ND?

aleps_86,
When performing the judgement of the two alternatives
you've mentioned, I think the first step is to be sure about
the model accuracy. In both alternatives, the truncated
models have to count properly the displacement from VAL,
and I think you've found a conclusion on this subject.
The modeled buried bends must simulate as accurate is
possible the complex interaction between the toroidal
geometry of bend and soil. That June 2000 Newsletter,
available on site, may be the basis of an improved model.
Maybe you have to pay attention also to the pipeline
geometry on the "vertical" plane to the above ground end
of pipeline.
And, of course, the soil must be accurately considered.
After rechecking the model, maybe you'll see an

Dear mariog,
Yes, regarding VAL I think that I have found a conclusion
but the last doubt about it is: At the point where I suppose
to have a virtual anchor, I need to insert an anchor
restraint or not? because If I put an anchor restraint the
displacements increase a little but I think that the reply is
No. Is not necessary insert an anchor restraint. Are you
agree?

Please clarify.
However I tried also to model 850 meters length of
pipeline, both with anchor restraint and without it, and the
displacements are ever the same (the difference is only +7 mm ).
