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)
