How to Evaluate Load per Meter Length of Pipe?

Load per Meter Length of Pipe evaluator uses Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length = Coefficient Dependent on Soil in Environmental*Unit Weight of Fill*(Width of Trench)^2 to evaluate the Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length, The Load per Meter Length of Pipe formula is defined as the value of the amount of force or weight exerted on a pipe per unit length. By knowing the load per meter, we can calculate the stress distribution along the length of the pipe. This is critical for ensuring that stress levels remain within safe limits to prevent failures such as buckling or bursting. Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length is denoted by w' symbol.

How to evaluate Load per Meter Length of Pipe using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Load per Meter Length of Pipe, enter Coefficient Dependent on Soil in Environmental (Cs), Unit Weight of Fill (YF) & Width of Trench (B) and hit the calculate button.
