Further Information
For further information on how to insert soil properties to a pipe sections, refer to online help
"Help > Reference Information > PipeSOIL" and "Modeling Approaches > Example Systems >
PIPE-SOIL Interaction: Transition Example. You can always press the Help button on each
dialog for specific information.
Select a Range
Select the range A04 N to A07. This will be used to apply the soil load.
Change the Surface Live Load Type to Airport-180k, and accept the defaults. The value for f
should now be 17432 psi. Click OK in the Edit Soil Properties dialog and Soil Properties dialog.
The file SOILOVERBURDEN_2.DAT contains the final result of this tutorial section.
Select a Range
Select a range to apply to the Soil Overburden Loads
The Pipe Identifier is required to be selected so that user can see quick check for specific pipes
on the previous dialog Edit Soil Properties in front of dT. When calculating the temperature
using the Generate Seismic Thermal Load Case, AutoPIPE automatically use required pipe
properties at each point.
The strains generated in the pipe due to seismic wave propagation are calculated and using
these strain values, an equivalent temperature dT is calculated using coefficient of expansion
for the material . Ambient temperature is added to dT to reflect the effects of this
temperature rise. This temperature can then be added to a temperature case to simulate the
effects of seismic wave propagation. AutoPIPE calculates coefficient of expansion values based
on expansion values of the material at ambient temperature + 10 deg F. In case of non standard
(NS) material, the expansion values are not available from the library. In this case AutoPIPE uses
the expansion value for steel taken as 6.5E-6 in/in/deg F.
AutoPIPE calculates both axial and bending strains due to wave propagation and takes the
maximum of two values. However, if the Add axial and bending strain for calculation of
temperature is checked, both the strains are added for calculating temperature.
If the Seismic data is the same for all soil IDs, you can define seismic data for one soil ID and use
"Assign seismic wave data above to all Soil Identifiers" option to set the same seismic data for
all soil identifiers.
Check Assign seismic wave data above to all Soil Identifiers.

Select a Range
Select a range to apply Soil Properties, Soil Overburden Loads and Seismic Data. Create a soil ID
APIP_V using the American Lifeline Alliance calculation method and keep all default values.
Click the Generate button to fill out the k1, p1, k2 and yield displacement columns.
Miscellaneous Information
View Soil Properties
After opening the Show Options dialog (View > Show Options), select the Soil Properties
option and click OK. AutoPIPE will prompt for a specific soil ID, or all of them. Select which one
and accept. AutoPIPE will display what pipe sections contain soil properties.
The model displayed above contains nine (09) piping control points and four soil IDs (SOILA,
SOILB, SOILC, and SOILD). The intermediate soil points are not displayed in the snapshot above,
and these intermediate soil points will always have soil overburden stresses defined based on
the soil ID defined for the preceding piping point.
The range on which each soil ID is assigned is highlighted with the legend displaying the color
for each soil ID. AutoPIPE B31.1 (2004 and onwards) and ASME NC/ND (2004 and onwards) will
display soil overburden stresses in code compliance report and Adams et. al. stress summary
report based on reporting and calculation methods selected.
The soil overburden stresses for different piping points and ranges will be displayed depending
on applicable soil ID as below:
Point / Range
A00
A01 to A02 N-
A02 N+ to A02
F+
A03
None
A04 to A05 N-
None
SOILB
Comments
A05 N+ to A05
F-
SOILC
Currently, AutoPIPE does not assign different faces to a piping point based on change in soil ID.
User may apply a net upward force due to buoyancy in AutoPIPE using the command Insert >
Distributed Loads.
Limitations
Currently there is a limitation that only a single face will be displayed for secondary soil points
after a Tee point (in either the header or the branch direction) in Adams et. al. Stress Summary
report for ASME NC/ND. This may result in displaying the lower stress from both the faces
(minus and plus) of the secondary soil point for Seismic + Thermal stress if the axial force on the
two faces of the secondary soil point differs.
As a workaround, you can insert a run point very close to the Tee point (in the header and
branch direction, depending on direction of the segment). By doing so, the secondary soil
points after the newly inserted run points will display both faces for the secondary soil points.
For example, consider the following scenario displayed below in A01 is a run point, followed by
A02 Tee point. Point A03 follows the tee point in the header direction, whereas B02 follows the
tee point in the branch direction.
You can insert a run point very close (an inch for example) to A02 on the leg A02-A03 to be able
to see both faces of the secondary soil points. Similarly, you can insert a run point very close to
A02 on the leg A02 -B02 to be able to see both faces of secondary soil points. Your model will
look similar to the one shown below after insertion of addition points:
