Features: This book includes: how to conduct gravity pipe design, how to conduct pressure pipe design, how to design rigid pipe products; how to design flexible steel pipes and ductile cast iron pipes; how to design plastic flexible pipes; how to utilize finite element analysis technology, pipe installation and trenchless technology, safety foresight for pipe construction and related activities. Based on the experimental data from the University of Utah Laboratory on various mechanical performance tests of underground pipes, this book analyzes the stress conditions of pipes of different materials and introduces the design methods of various pipe products. The book adopts the latest standards of ASTM, AWWA, and ASHTTOQTRB, and provides time-saving design examples. It is believed that the translation and publication of this book will greatly benefit engineers working on pipe projects in municipal engineering and architectural design departments in China, as well as serving as an excellent reference for students and teachers in related fields.
