Calculations required in accordance with ANSI code B31.8 for Gas Transmissions across Pipelines for the installation of
pipes by HDD are as follows:

D. CALCULATIONS:

1 OVERBURDEN PRESSURE AND COLLAPSE PRESSURE

The collapse pressure is determined from the theoretical elastic curve equation
2 2
Pc = 2E / [(1-µ )(D/t)(D/t-1) ]
Where: D/t = 32.39 / 0.64 = 50.61
= 35.98 kg/cm2
The collapse pressure, Pc = 35.98 kg/cm
2

The maximum overburden pressure

Po = (h*Db + hs*Ds + hw*Dw)
Po = 428 x 0.00115 + 439 x 0.00185 + 100 x 0.001
= 1.40 kg/cm2
Po/Pc = 3.90%
Since Overburden is only 3.90% of Collapse Pressure, Pipe is safe

2. BOUYANCY OF PIPE
Pipe Volume
Displacement of pipeline in drilling mud where volume
V, = 3.14 (D)(D)/4
D = 32.39 cm
V = 823.97 cc/linear cm.
Buoyancy
Buoyancy in drilling mud where mud density
B = Volume of Mud Displacement by pipe x mud density
= V x Db
B = 823.97 x 0.00115
= 0.948 kg/cm
Net Buoyancy
Net buoyancy when pipeline is empty and fully submerged
= B-W or 0.948 - 0.501
= 0.446
= 0.4464 kg/cm force

3 COATING STRESSES
The maximum shear stress in the pipeline coating during installation depends upon relative movements
of the pipeline and the surrounding soil. Using bentonite mud, the low-friction soil-coating interface
will be at a minimum.
Coating Failure Check
PP coatings Resistance = 2.5 kg/sq.cm. Std. Peel Test Value
Longitudinal Soil Stress. t = t = N(2-sin d)tan d
where ,
N is the force normal to the pipeline due to buoyancy
= 0.4464 kg/ cm
Friction Angle (d) = 30 (as per soil investigation report)
N = N/(30/360*3.14*D)
= 0.0526 kg/sq.cm.
o
2-sin 30 = 1.5
t = (N x 1.5 x tan(30)
= 0.0456 kg/sq.cm.
Which is negligible as compared to the adhesive force of 2.5 kg/sq.cm that is 1.824%
So, Coating is safe.

4. Max Tensile Stress During Pull

Allowable stress = 90 % of SMYS
T = 0.9 x S x As
= 209,978.39 kg

Calculations required in accordance with ANSI code B31.8 for Gas Transmissions across Pipelines for the installation of
pipes by HDD are as follows:
Check for Tensile Stress
Max long stress that can be applied by Rig = 25 Tons
= 25000 / As
= 391.62 kg/sq.cm.
Percentage of SMYS = 10.72% of SMYS
Since Max. Tensile Stress is within limits and thus SAFE
Check for Bending Stress
For Long Bending Stress During installation at ROC = 35000 cm
= Ec/r E = modulus of elasticity
= 943.43 kg/cm2 c = distance of natural axis from edge of section
Percentage of Total SMYS = 25.81% of SMYS r = radius of curvature (ROC)

Hence Long. Bending Sress at above radius is safe.

5. Radius of Curvature Calculations

A. Before Installation
Pulling Load = 0 kg
Bending Load = 90 % of SMYS during Overbend or on rollers
Hoop Stresses = 90 % of SMYS on ground before overbend

Before Installation
Min Radius for Temporary Pipe Handling
Limiting SMYS = 90%
Bending Stress S = Ec/r
or R = 10039 cm
= 100.39 meters
B. During Installation

Max Pulling Load = 25 Tons

P=F/As = 391.621 kg/sqcm
Bending Stress Radius 35000 cm
= 943.43 kg/sqcm
Hydrotest Stress = 0.00 kg/sqcm
TOTAL Stress = 1335.05 kg/sqcm
Total Percent of SMYS = 36.53%

C. After Installation (Post Hydrotesting will be done at this stage)

Bending Stress at ROC = Ec/R
Longitudinal Stress at Test Pressure = pd/4t
Pulling Load = 0
Min Radius for Permanent Pipe Installation
As per ANSI B 31.4 factor of 1.85
Permanent Radius of Curvature - R = Ec/(0.75.S.SMYS-pd/4t)
Where S is design factor of 0.72
= 33020017.89 / [ 1974 - 967.65 ]
= 32825.77 cm
= 328.26 meters
Taking 10% higher ROC = 361 meters
Permanent Radius Calc Check:
Bending Stress at ROC = Ec/R
= 943.43 kg/sqcm

Longitudinal Stress at Test Pressure = pd/4t

= 967.65 kg/sqcm

Total Stresses = 1911.08 kg/sqcm

Stresses as Percent of SMYS = 52.29%

Calculations required in accordance with ANSI code B31.8 for Gas Transmissions across Pipelines for the installation of
pipes by HDD are as follows:

7 ROLLER SPACING DURING PULL

Allowable Bending Moment for Roller Spacing = 90% SMYS
2
= 3289.28 kg/cm
Max Tensile force that can be applied = 25 tons
P=F/As = 391.62 kg/cm2

Available Stress for Bending Fb = 2897.66 kg/cm2

Bending Moment = Z*Fb

1,439,839.04 kg-cm
This bending moment will determine the roller spacing

For Simple spans (In between Rollers) BM = wL2/12

Where w is the weight of pipe in air
Max spacing between rollers = L = sqrt ( 1,439,839.04 x 12 / 0.501 )
= 5871.86 cm
= 58.72 meters max

For Cantilever (On last Roller) BM = wL2/2

Where w is the weight of pipe in air
Max spacing between rollers = L = sqrt ( 1,439,839.04 x 2/ 0.501 )
= 2397.18 cm
= 23.97 meters max

8 PULLING REQUIREMENTS
Pulling loads is divided into 3 main forces. Viz:
= Fluid Drag Resistance + Soil Drag Resistance + Fluid Weight on Pull Head
= pDLf + f'wL + DbhA
= 6675.792 + 2496.25 + 405.6
= 9577.60 kg
= 9.58 Tons

Total Pulling Force Required = 10.54 Tons cosidering safety factor 1.1
% of Force Required to Rig Capacity = 42.14%
