Overview of additional support forces due to extra top (soil) load in excess of downward soil reaction in output table SOILREA (Output Table)
Data description/Result options:
NODE:
Node number (n)
S-Z-SOILNB:
Additional support force in global Z-direction at node number (n) due to SOILNB load
AX-NB-TOT: (1)
Total support force in axial pipe direction at node number (n) in LOCAL node coordinate system due to SOILNB load
LAT-NB-TOT: (1)
Total support force in lateral pipe direction at node number (n) in LOCAL node coordinate system due to SOILNB load
PHI-NB-T: (1)
Calculated angle of total lateral support force at node number (n) in LOCAL node coordinate system due to SOILNB load
M-BEN-NB:
Additional bending moment in a vertical plane at node number (n) due to SOILNB load
S-Z-NB+TP:
Additional support force in global Z-direction at node number (n) due to SOILNB and TOPLOAD
AX-NB+TP-T: (1)
Total support force in axial pipe direction at node number (n) in LOCAL node coordinate system due to SOILNB and TOPLOAD
LAT-NB+TP-T: (1)
Total support force in lateral pipe direction at node number (n) in LOCAL node coordinate system due to SOILNB and TOPLOAD
PHI-NB+TP: (1)
Calculated angle of total lateral support force at node number (n) in LOCAL node coordinate system due to SOILNB and TOPLOAD
M-BEN-NB+TP:
Additional bending moment in a vertical plane at node number (n) due to SOILNB and TOPLOAD
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.
The total support forces are composed of the support reactions from Design Function 5 and the additional support forces caused by SOILNB (+TOPLOAD).
