Hi, I constructed a simple model in AutoPIPE to try to understand how the soil springs work. However the result is not what I expected. I have a straight pipe with soil spacing of 1000mm. I applied a UDL in the -Z direction (Z is vertical in this model), and tried various magnitudes of loading. Soil properties for vertical direction are: Vert Dn K1 N/mm/mm 13.95 Vert Dn P1 N/m 2125993 Vert Dn Yld Disp. mm 152.4 K2=0 The soil yield occurs at the displacement I expected, around 152.4mm. But the stiffness of the soil springs is very different from my expectation. I expected a UDL of 2,125,993 N would approx 152mm of displacement, soil yield. But instead soil yield occurs at a much lower load of around 600,000 N. I also checked the soil spring stiffness, which I expected to equal K1. The stiffness is consistent until soil yield at 3966 N/mm per soil spring, or 3.966 N/mm/mm. Much lower than the Vert Dn K1 value in the tables. So obviously there is something I am not understanding about how the stiffness of the soil spring is calculated for the soil springs in AutoPIPE. How is the initial soil spring stiffness determined in AutoPIPE ? And am I correct that this does not match the K1 value ? Best Regards Fergus

Forum Post: RE: Soil Spring Stiffness
After a bit more investigation, it seems the soil spring stiffness in the initial range, matches the K1 values for "low stiffness" soil properties, even though I have selected "average stiffness", and the average stiffness values are shown in the soil tab of the review component tables. Is this correct functionality ? I'm using AutoPIPE version 12.00.00.14

Wiki Page: 02c. Model Soil Properties with Soil Calculator and Underground Piping in AutoPIPE
Attention: Please see the following AutoPIPE help sections: Help > Contents> Contents Tab> 1. Reference Information> Pipe Soil This section will provide information on a. Model Discretization b. Defining Soil Points in AutoPIPE c. Soil Restraint Properties in AutoPIPE d. Calculation of Soil Restraint Properties - AutoPIPE Method e. Calculation of Soil Restraint Properties - ASCE Method f. Calculation of Soil Restraint Properties - PRCI Method g. Comparison of Soil Restraint Properties h. Soil overburden stresses application on AutoPIPE points 2. Modeling Approaches> Example systems> PIPE-SOIL Interaction: Transition Example. The purpose of the following example system is to demonstrate the procedure required to a. Calculate soil properties using AutoPIPE and ASCE method b. Verification of values with hand calculations c. Determine the location of critical piping points to be defined for the above to below ground (transition) piping system shown in the Figure below. In this example, the piping system is subjected to a temperature rise of 230°F, and an internal pressure of 100 psi. For simplicity, a single soil will be assumed to interface with the pipe over the entire length of the buried portion of the system. This online help section will provide step by step procedure of modeling soil properties in AutoPIPE. 3. Procedure described in AutoPIPE Workbook was developed by SSD for piping systems and pipelines who also help write ASCE “Guidelines for the design of buried steel pipe”. Comments, Questions, and Answers about Soil Properties, Soil Calculator, and Underground Piping: A. Pipe Soil Calculator issues: Item #1: What will be the yield displacement value for following Item #2: Cannot validate AutoPIPEs results, specifically for the Qu term (vertical up) for sand, what is causing the difference? Item #3: In the Virtual Anchor Length equation (La = Co * Lm), how can the value for Co be adjusted? item #4: Do we have to define the soil properties after the La (i.e., in Zone 3)? Item #5: What effect does the "Outside diameter" and "Depth to Center-line " have on soil properties when calculation method = User? Item #6: How does AutoPIPE calculates slippage length and virtual anchor length between V09.06.01.11 and V09.06.00.19.? Item #7: How to account for the weight of the soil acting down on the pipe? Item #8: How to calculate the soil properties for a buried pipe on a 45 deg angled slope? B. Soil Over Burden issues & Buried Pipe Result Options: Note: 1. These dialogs are only available for the following piping code years: a. B31.1-2004 or higher b. ASME B31.4 Liquid Trans. 2004 or higher when ASME CC N-755-1 (HDPE) option was enabled. c.

Hello Fergus, Most import question, are you running a Linear Analysis or Non-Linear analysis? Please see WIKI here https://communities.bentley.com/products/pipe_stress_analysis/w/pipe_stress_analysis__wiki/7346/modeling-approaches-in-autopipe and here: https://communities.bentley.com/products/pipe_stress_analysis/w/pipe_stress_analysis__wiki/8843/02c-model-soil-properties-with-soil-calculator-and-underground-piping-in-autopipe Under the section "AutoPIPE's help "Example Systems", there are 4 complete example, particularly; " PipeSOIL Interaction: Transition Example". Suggest that you take the time to actually perform the example as mentioned. This will give you a better foundation to understand Soil loading in AutoPIPE. Another great reference, open the Soil Properties dialog and press Help button in the lower right corner, scroll to the bottom of the page to see a list of reference material. Recommend to read each document. To know which soil stiffness (low - high - avg) is being used in a model for a specific analysis set, see the Analysis Summary output report, Static Analysis set number, "Soil Stiffness" Refer to the model input listing "Soil Properties" sub report for respective soil values entered.

For our on-demand courses please make sure you update the Adobe Flash Player plug-in ( www.adobe.com ) and change your security settings in Internet Explorer. 1) In Internet Explorer, navigate to the Bentley LEARNserver, http://learn.bentley.com and sign in. 2) In the browser select Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level. 3) Scroll down to the settings category named "ActiveX controls and plug-ins". 4) Set the "Allow Scriplets" setting to "Enable". 5) Set the "Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls" setting to "Enable". 6) Set the “Binary and script behaviors” setting to “Enable” 7) Set the "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" setting to "Enable". 8) Set the "Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting" to "Enable". 9) Under the Downloads category, “Automatic prompting for file downloads” and “File downloads” must be enabled. 10) Click ok to accept the change and then go to the Advanced tab. 11) Under the Browsing category, “Use Passive FTP” should have the checkmark enabling it. Click ok to accept the change. 12) If datasets are not downloading, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the Download button. 13) Third-party software, such as Norton I nternet Security, can also cause interference with the hands-on courses in the LEARNserver. That software must also be set to allow “script behaviors” to run. Note: a. Make sure you are using Internet Explorer. If on Windows 8 or later, you must launch it from the Desktop only (not in the modern UI screen). b. If you receive an "API not set" error, please set your browser to “Compatibility View” for the Bentley LEARN Server web site. For IE10: Navigate to the Bentley LEARN Server first, then Tools->Compatibility View Settings->Add ‘Bentley.com’->Close. For IE11: You should only need to enable the Compatibility View to view any course in the Bentley LEARNserver. c. Some company networks might disable the Flash player for security reasons, so you should check that and enable it if it is disabled. You can find this in Settings (the Gear icon) > Manage Add-ons in recent versions of IE. Look for “Adobe Systems, Incorporated” and the “Shockwave Flash Object” and make sure the Status column shows “Enabled”. If it does not appear, you might need to change the list to Show All add-ons (it defaults to Currently Loaded add-ons). d. Check the streaming media protocols that Windows Media Player is set to receive (in WMP, Tools menu, Options, Network tab). i. RTSP/UDP should be disabled. ii. RTSP/TCP should be enabled. iii. HTTP should be enabled. If these setting still do not work, try disabling RTSP/TCP. This forces the connection to use HTTP, which might be somewhat slower, but should not be blocked. To ensure the changes take place, log out of all Bentley websites, open a new window, go to Tools > Internet Options, under section for Browsing History, click on Delete, make sure the below are checked, and then click on Delete, OK.
