Gents + 1ish
On certain occasions, I have difficulty in deciding on an appropriate
greeting.
This is one of those occasions, so gidday.
I picked up this thread from Geoff, who seems to be a Code man, like Chris.
Today,my area of interest is in transient design stress for PE pipe. A number of "guides" extoll the virtues of PE pipe under transients, and then "recommend" that the design stress is the "X" year tensile stress or some other arbitary value.
Would Geoff tell me how he determines the design pipe wall thickness for PE pipe. I am especially interested in consideration of occasional transients and their influence in relation to the (miserable) code alllowables. Is it necessary to exercise judgement or do you guys always work to code?
Cheers
Steve

Subject: Re: [PipingDesign] Caesar 2 Stress Analysis Software
Ken,
I cannot help you with your question however in respect of buried pipelines analysis why do you need to use Caesar II? AS 2566 Buried Flexible Pipelines covers the analysis of buried pipelines? Iam on the Standards Australia WS28 committee that produced this document.
Admittedly it could be considered conservative in some aspects. The largest variable in any such analysis is the properties of soil of the combined soil/pipe structure. This is also the case if you use Caesar II.
I too am based in Sydney. If you wish to discuss the application I will be there tomorrow. Please call on 0402 35 2313 or 02 8850 2313.
regards
Geoff Stone

On the topic of stress analysis software I am searching for an intensive training course in the use of Caesar 2 software and in particular for buried network systems.
I have access to a licensed version of Caesar 2.
I am currently located in Sydney Australia until the end of February.
Given the amount of expertise that is evident on this forum, in particular stress analysts, it appears the best place to investigate the whereabouts of a comprehensive training course.
Any ideas or contact details??
Thanks
