Specification of extra loads on top of soil along pipeline axis (Input Table)
Data description/conditions:
X-P:
X-coordinate of data reference point
None / Required
(Column may be toggled to AX-L, AX-LP, NODE, ELEM or IDENT, see toggling data tables.)
TOPLOAD1:
Extra top-load on pipeline just before and at X-P reference point
≥ 0.
(The value given for TOPLOAD1 on the first data line is valid for every value of X less than or equal to X-P(1))
LOADF1:
Load factor for TOPLOAD1
> 0. and < 10. / Undefined if topload1=0.
[Default: 1.35]
(If specified, TOPLOAD1 is multiplied by LOADF1.)
TOPLOAD2:
Extra top-load on pipeline just after X-P reference point
≥ 0. / Undefined
(The value given for TOPLOAD2 on the last data line is valid for every value of X greater than X-P(n). If TOPLOAD2=UNDEFINED it is assumed TOPLOAD2=TOPLOAD1)
LOADF2:
Load factor for TOPLOAD2
> 0. and <10. / Undefined
(If specified, TOPLOAD2 is multiplied by LOADF2. If LOADF2=UNDEFINED it is assumed that LOADF2=LOADF1.)
(in case there is no soil TOPLOAD shall be 0.)
