Loading Options
Ple4Win provides various pipeline loading options to enable the design engineer to adjust to specific operational and environmental circumstances:
- Pipe deadweight/buoyancy
- Overburden and traffic load variation
- Internal and / or external pressure
- Temperature loading variation
- External soil deformation variation in horizontal, vertical and longitudinal directions
(see earthquake fault example) - Underground deformations due to mining activities or mine collapses
- Soil subsidence construction pattern
- Additional point loads or trains of point loads
- Focal point loads (especially for offshore pipelines)
- Backtension due to pipelaying (especially for offshore pipelines)
- Wave and current loadings (especially for offshore pipelines)
