Assumption:
Dry density of soil, = 120 pcf
Water table is below the pipe level.
Yield strength of pipe material= 350 MPa.
Modulus of soil reaction, E =2500psi [Manual of Guidelines for the design of buried steel pipe, July
2001]
Bending constant, K = 0.1 [Manual of Guidelines for the design of buried steel pipe, July 2001]
Deflection lag factor, D1 =1.5 [Manual of Guidelines for the design of buried steel pipe, July 2001]
Frost depth is considered at 2.3m [Provided by the client]
So the depth of the fill soil above the pipe is = 2.3m

Dead load Calculation:

Earth Dead load pressure on the conduit, Pv = C [Manual of Guidelines for the design of buried steel
pipe, july 2001]
=120x (2.3x3.281) psf
=905 psf=6.28 psi
Water table is considered lower than the pipe line.
C= depth of soil cover above pipe= (2.3x3.281)=7.54ft

The pressure transmitted to the pipe from rail load,

= 11.63 psi [Table 4.1-2 of

Manual of Guidelines for the design of buried steel pipe, july 2001
Cooper E-80 load is considered with impact factor 1.5 for at a depth 6ft.

Impact load:
Impact load factor is required 1.35 (For more than 3 ft depth for railway road as per American railway
Engineering association)

Total load:
Total applied force on the pipe= 6.28+11.63X1.35
=21.98 psi

E= modulus of elasticity of the pipe,

t= thickness of the pipe
D= outside diameter of the pipe.
bw=4x29x106x0.0128x.375/24= 26421 psi
This should be less than .5y= 0.5x 50750 psi= 25375 psi [[Manual of Guidelines for the design of
buried steel pipe, July 2001]
Status: not OK

Check for through Wall Bending:

Through wall bending stress due to ovalization, bw=4x29x106x.010x. 5/24= 24363 psi.< 25375 psi. OK
This should be less tha .5y= 0.5x 50750 psi= 25375 psi.

Recommendation:
From the above calculation it is recommended that the thickness of the jack and bore 600mm diameter
steel pipe is 0.5 or 12.5mm is required.
