Structural design of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading - Part 4: Parameters for reliability of the design

This Technical Report lists the parameters for the reliability of the structural design of buried water and wastewater pressure pipelines, drains and sewers.
The reliability of the design of buried pipelines is based on the selection of appropriate design parameters for a chosen design method. This document identifies the parameters appropriate to the chosen design method, which should all be clearly stated.
This Technical Report does not aim to specify the requirements for the structural design of water and wastewater pressure pipelines, drains and sewers. EN 1295 1 “Structural design of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading — Part 1: General requirements” defines these requirements.
This Technical Report does not apply for offshore laying, pipes supported on piles, no dig pipelines, or laid above ground. Supplementary considerations need to be taken into account for these specific installations.
Special situations (e.g. landslide, earthquake, fire) are outside the scope of this document.
Design parameters for calculation of longitudinal effects (including bending moments, shear forces and tensile forces resulting for example from non uniform bedding and thermal movements and, in the case of pressure pipelines, from Poisson's contraction and thrust at change of direction or cross-section) are not covered in this document.

Introduction
The structural design of buried pipelines constitutes a wide ranging and complex field of engineering,
which has been the subject of extensive study and research, in many countries over a period of very
many years.
While many common features exist between the design methods, which have been developed and
established in the various member countries of CEN, there are also differences reflecting such matters
as geological and climatic variations, as well as different installation and working practices.
In view of these differences, and of the time required to develop a common design method that would
fully reflect the various considerations identified in particular national methods, a multiple stage
approach has been adopted for the development of a European Standard.
In accordance with this approach, a Joint Working Group, at its initial meeting, resolved “first to
produce an EN giving guidance on the application of nationally established methods of structural design
of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading, whilst working towards a common method of
structural design”.
EN 1295-1, “Structural design of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading — Part 1: General
requirements” represents the implementation of the first part of that resolution, and CEN/TR 1295-2
“Structural design of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading — Part 2: Summary of
nationally established methods of design” represents the full implementation of the first part of that
resolution.
In 2003, CEN/TC 164 and CEN/TC 165 accepted a recommendation from JWG1 that the two structural
design options should be published as CEN/TR 1295-3 “Structural design of buried pipelines under
various conditions of loading — Part 3: Common method”, because there was no prospect of the group
reaching agreement on a “Common Method”, and the human and financial resources needed to continue
were, in any case, no longer available.
In 2011, CEN/TC 165 has decided to complete this approach to list the parameters for the reliability of
the structural design of buried water and wastewater pressure pipelines, drains and sewers in relation
with the installation conditions.

1 Scope
This Technical Report lists the parameters for the reliability of the structural design of buried water and
wastewater pressure pipelines, drains and sewers.
The reliability of the design of buried pipelines is based on the selection of appropriate design
parameters for a chosen design method. This document identifies the parameters appropriate to the
chosen design method, which should all be clearly stated.
This Technical Report does not aim to specify the requirements for the structural design of water and
wastewater pressure pipelines, drains and sewers. These requirements are defined in EN 1295-1.
This Technical Report does not apply for offshore laying, pipes supported on piles, no dig pipelines, or
laid above ground. Supplementary considerations need to be taken into account for these specific
installations.

4 General requirements
All pipelines shall withstand the various loadings to which they are expected to be subjected, during
construction and operation, without detriment to their function and to the environment.
The designer of the pipeline shall therefore specify the parameters for the structural design. These
parameters shall be consistent with the requirements of the installation and the earthworks.
The structural designer shall state the chosen method for the design. The structural designer shall
determine whether or not the pipeline comes within the scope of the chosen method of design including
level of safety. The structural designer shall declare the selected parameters to ensure the reliability of
the calculation.
Methods of design, when presented in the form of tables, charts or computer programmes, shall be
deemed equivalent to a full calculation, provided that any simplification does not reduce the level of
safety below that which would be obtained by a full design.
For the chosen design method, the designer shall use the whole method including the associated
allowable limits on the results and shall assess that the chosen method is applicable for the project and
shall express the resulting design safety.

SIST-TP CEN/TR 1295-4:2015
CEN/TR 1295-4:2015 (E)
Probable consequences of pipeline failure shall be identified prior to the structural design. The
structural designer shall consider probable consequences of pipeline failure by establishing an
acceptable level of safety consistent with the chosen design method.
At each stage of the design, the values of the selected parameters, including factors of safety, shall be in
accordance with the chosen method and with site conditions, and shall be stated by the structural
designer.
5 Declaration of the parameters
5.1 General
The designer shall state the chosen method by referring to a published document or by a detailed
description of it.
The designer needs to clearly state the input data used and the analyses done.
The designer shall state the selected parameters, and at least refer to the following:
a) input data and characteristics:
1) pipe parameters;
2) external loads parameters:
i) soil loads parameters,
ii) traffic loads and construction loads parameters,
iii) groundwater parameters;
3) internal pressure parameters;
4) pipes own weight parameters;
5) weight of fluid parameters;
6) subsidence parameters;
7) temperature parameters;
b) parameters for limit state analysis;
c) safety parameters.
As stated in EN 1295-1:
— Field and experimental studies of pipelines show variations in observed earth pressures and pipe
deformations, stresses and strains. The main cause of these variations is the inevitable inconsistency of
soil characteristics and construction practices. The magnitude of the variation can be reduced by good
supervision, control measurement and by the use of fill materials, which are easily placed and treated,
but some degree of variation is inevitable.
— Variations in pipe characteristics, such as strength or elasticity, also occur in practice.
— Appropriate allowance for these variations should be made at the design stage and be in accordance
with one of the following design philosophies:

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

SIST-TP CEN/TR 1295-4:2015
CEN/TR 1295-4:2015 (E)
1) The design procedure shall aim to predict the mean values of loads, and shall compare these with
the load bearing capacity of the pipeline based on mean values of pipe strength or stiffness
(for example as derived by calculation), and on average earth pressure distribution
assumptions.
2) The design procedure shall aim to predict the maximum possible (high fractile or upper bound)
values of loads, and shall compare these with estimates of the load bearing capacity of the
pipeline based on lower bound (or low fractile) values of pipe strength or stiffness (for
example as established by testing), and on unfavourable earth pressure distribution
assumptions.
— The factors of safety to be employed with designs following philosophy 2) will be lower than those used
in 1), to achieve the same probability of failure.
5.2 Input data and characteristics
5.2.1 Pipe parameters
Many different kinds of pipe materials are used for the production of components to construct buried
pipelines for water and waste water systems. The pipes vary in weight, load bearing capacity and
ductility. Next to that, many different types of jointing methods are used with the different pipe
materials.
European or national standards can include dimensions, as well as material specific information needed
for a structural design purpose.
When considering the pipe parameters to be taken into account, the designer shall at least refer to the
following and shall state the selected parameters:
— pipe material;
— dimensions (diameter, wall thickness, shape);
— unit weight;
— material properties (E , σ );
p ult
— short term;
— long term;
— initial pipe out of roundness;
— pipe ring stiffness;
— Poisson's ratio;
— crushing strength.

CEN/TR 1295-4:2015 (E)
5.2.2 External loads parameters
5.2.2.1 General
The external loads to be considered shall include:
— those due to the backfill;
— those due to the most severe surface surcharge or traffic load likely to occur;
— those due to any other causes, producing a loading of significant magnitude such as self-weight of
the pipe and water weight, as appropriate;
— those due to groundwater;
— those due to trench construction.
As stated in EN 1295-1:
— Of the various factors to be considered in the structural design process, some, such as pipe diameter
and depth of cover, can be regarded as entirely under the control of the designer. Other factors, such
as the methods adopted for trench excavation and for filling around and above the pipeline, are only
under the control of the designer to the extent that they are specified in advance, and supervised
during construction.
— The width of the trench can influence the extent to which the backfill load may be reduced by the silo
effect; this effect is taken into account for certain applications.
— The width of the trench can also influence the quality of the lateral soil support at the sides of the
pipes. This effect is variously covered in the design procedures, via the coefficient of lateral earth
pressure, the bedding factor, the soil modulus, etc.
— The slope of the trench sides can affect the magnitude of
