Journal Article by American Water Works Association, 11/01/1988

Full Description
A study was undertaken to find a formula for predicting the additional load imposed on underground pipelines by soil freezing. The authors conclude that a modified Boussinesq equation can be used to assess this load. Results also showed that frost affects the modulus of soil reaction and therefore the induced stress in flexible pipe. Includes 9 references, tables, figures.
