List of detailed radial deformations of pipe wall over the circumference of the cross-section (Output Table)
Data description/Result options:
ANGLE:
Location at circumference where calculations have been performed
(Measured in positive sense around x-axis from y-axis)
W-GROUND:
Radial deformation of pipe wall due to lateral soil reactions
W-BEND:
Radial deformation of pipe wall due to ovalisation of bend caused by bending moment
(Undefined if ELEM is not a bend element, unless the Material Model option is set to Non-Linear.)
W+WD/D:
Change of diameter (in %) due loads on cross-section
(The outer diameter is used.)
W-TOTAL:
Total radial deformation of pipe wall due to all loads on cross-section
(W-TOTAL is the sum of W-GROUND and W-BEND)
RG/KLG:
Elastic impression of the soil at 50 % of 'horizontal' bearing capacity (1)
(RG is 50 % of RH or (RVS+RVT)/2 whichever has the lowest value, KLG is KLH or (KLS+KLT)/2 whichever has the lowest value.)
KLG:
'horizontal' bedding constant (soil stiffness) (1)
(KLG = KLH or (KLS+KLT)/2 as long as W-TOTAL is less than or equal to RG/KLG. If W-TOTAL > RG/KLG, KLG decreases. KLG is a bilinear soil spring.)
AX_BUCKL:
Detailed axial buckling strain as a percentage of the critical one
EXT_PRESS:
Detailed percentage of critical strain due to external pressure
These quantities are reported only if the Soil Ring-Stiffening Option is applied. The bilinear soil spring KLG is attached to those points of the cross-section which move to the outside due to the ovalisation. The average soil parameters are taken, so without uncertainty factors. The maximum soil resistance (RG) taken into account is 50 % of the lowest bearing capacity. If RVT = 0, no horizontal soil support springs will be applied.
