Structural Mechanics of Buried Pipes by Reynold King Watkins and Loren Runar Anderson minimizes complicated theories, breaks through the imprecisions in the properties of soil, and presents principles that simplify analysis and lead to designs of higher performance and safety. With knowledge built on experience, experimentation, and sound principles, the authors guide readers through the design and analysis processes. They use examples based on actual buried structures and analyze a variety of pipe-soil interaction problems.
Sound principles, plentiful examples, and a straightforward presentation provide an outstanding framework for hands-on application and an ideal self-study guide.Buried pipes are a highly efficient method of transport. In fact, only open channels are less costly to construct. However, the structural mechanics of buried pipes can be complicated, and imprecisions in the properties of the soil envelope are usually too great to justify lengthy, complicated analyses. Designers and engineers need principles and methods that simplify analysis and maximize their knowledge of the pipe's performance and performance limits.
This is without a doubt the best book on the structural mechanics of buried pipeline systems. Both authors are considered world authorities on buried pipe design. Dr. Reynold Watkins, Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Utah State University, studied under the legendary Dr. Marlin Spangler and has made significant original contributions to the field; engineers throughout the world make use of Dr. Watkins' work in their pipeline designs. Dr. Anderson is Dept. Head of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Utah State. Together they have written the most comprehensive book on the structural aspects of buried pipe design. They leave no topic uncovered, and reinforce all theories with easy to understand examples.
