Dear Friends.

The subject may be not exactly will be required CAESAR II,to seek the help / answer from various experts,we post here at this discussion forum.

One of our project-client required to calculate the stresses on Top surface of underground piping.

We are aware for Underground analysis based on CAESAR, but it is for Thermal expansion stress check.

We need to check the Top surface of Piping- stress check against various load cases like compacting (filling) gravels,sand, Truck load case, foundation loads of civil columns, Equipment foundation loads & others.


Currently we are referring AWWA (American Water Works Association) book.

Kindly guide us if any other method to calculate or require to refer some reference material, codes?

We seek your reply friends.

Thanking you

Regards
