A- Bearing Pressure Check

Case - 1 : Dry Soil on pipe and dry soil at trench bottom

Dry Soil Weight (KN/m) = WS = rs x VS KN/m 3.829

Where VS = Volume of dry Soil on pipe/Meter
= rs x hs x D2

Total Vertical Load (KN/m) = P = W2 + WS KN/m 4.365

Projected Area / Meter (m2) = A = D2 x 1 m2 0.173

BEARING PRESSURE AND BUOYANCY REV: A1

CALCULATIONS-FLOWLINES DATE: 7-Jul-14

Maximum Pressure on Soil (KN/m2) = qmax = P/A 25.192

= qmax < qgross1 1

Hence "OK"
Case - 2 : Dry soil on pipe and submerged soil at trench bottom

Dry Soil Weight (KN/m) = WS = rs x VS KN/m 3.829

Where VS = Volume of Soil/Meter
= rs x hs x D2

Total Vertical Load (KN/m) = P = W2 + WS KN/m 4.365

Projected Area / Meter (m2) = A = D2 x l m2 0.173

Maximum Pressure on Soil (KN/m2) = qmax = P/A 25.192

= qmax < qgross2 1

Hence "OK"
Case - 3 : Submerged soil on pipe and submerged soil at trench bottom

Submerged Soil Weight (KN/m) = WS = rsub x VS KN/m 2.286

Where VS = Volume of Soil/Meter
= rsub x hs x D2

Total Vertical Load (KN/m) = P = W2 + WS KN/m 2.822

Projected Area / Meter (m2) = A = D x l m2 0.173

Maximum Pressure on Soil (KN/m2) = qmax = P/A 16.287

= qmax < qgross2 1

Hence "OK"

B- Buoyancy Check

Assuming Pipe is submerged and Empty

Buoyant Force / Meter (KN) = Fb = rw x p/4 (D2)2 KN/m 0.231

Balancing Force (KN/m) = Wb = W1 + Submerged Soil Weight KN/m =0.365+9.424*0.173*h1

= Wb = W1 + rsub x Volume of Submerged Soil/Meter
= W1 + rsub x h1 x D2 KN/m = 0.365+ 1.63h1

Factor of Safety = FOSa 1.5

FOSa = Wb/Fb 1.5= (0.365+1.63*h1) / 0.231

Depth of Cover required (h1) Meter -0.011

Min. Depth of Cover on Pipe (H2) Meter 1.4

= h1 < H2 1
Hence "OK"
