Additional forces, reactions and displacements due to top (soil) load in excess of downward soil reaction (Output Table)
Data description/Result options:
ELEM:
Element number (n)
B-SOILNB:
Additional loading in element number (n) being the difference between top soil load and downward soil reaction from SOILREA
M-SOILNB:
Additional bending moment in element number (n) due to additional loadings B-SOILNB on pipeline
R-SOILNB:
Additional soil reaction on element number (n) due to additional loadings B-SOILNB on pipeline
U-SOILNB:
Additional vertical displacement of element number (n) due to additional loadings B-SOILNB on pipeline
U-NB-TOT:
Total vertical displacement of element number (n)
GAP-NB:
Possibly resulting total gap between pipeline element (n) and soil including gap found in design function 5.
(Note: Additional loading is applied only if:
1. somewhere a gap between pipeline and soil occurs
2. the top soil load SOILNB multiplied by the uncertainty and load factors exceeds the downward soil reaction from SOILREA.)
B-NB+TOP:
Additional loading in element number (n) being the difference between top soil + TOPLOAD and downward soil reaction from table SOILREA
M-NB+TOP:
Additional bending moment in element number (n) due to additional loadings B-NB+TOPL on pipeline
R-NB+TOP:
Additional soil reaction on element number (n) due to additional loadings B-NB+TOPL on pipeline
U-NB+TOP:
Additional vertical displacement of element number (n) due to additional loadings B-NB+TOPL on pipeline
U-NB+TP-T:
Total vertical displacement of element number (n) due to all loads
GAP-NB+TP:
Possibly resulting total gap between pipeline element (n) and soil including gap found in design function 5.
(Additional loading is applied only if:
1. somewhere a gap between pipeline and soil occurs
2. the top soil load SOILNB + the topload TOPLOAD multiplied by the uncertainty and load factors exceeds the downward soil reaction from SOILREA.)
(Note: A gap exists if: (U-Z) - SETLZ*F - SOILNB/KLS > 0. It is possible that an initial (small) gap will disappear due to the additional loadings! In case of no gap, the field is undefined.)
