THE INTERACTION BETWEEN A STRUCTURAL TUBE AND THE SURROUNDING SOIL,

Abstract

This report describes experimental and theoretical research on the interaction between a structural tube and the surrounding soil. The experimental work used tubes of very small diameter, thus allowing a large number of tests to be run at low cost, but also preventing the use of any sophisticated instrumentation. The specific situations investigated were a flexible tube surrounded symmetrically by a thick cylinder of soil and loaded by uniform radial pressure, and a flexible tube buried under a horizontal soil surface and loaded by pressure applied on that surface.
