MECHANICAL STUDY REGARDING THE LIMITS OF USE OF POLYPROPYLENE PIPES

Marius FETEA, Ancuța ABRUDAN

Abstract


The analysis in the current paper has been made for the purpose of determining the applicability limits of the buried polypropylene flexible pipes for different pipe dimensions. Analysis and study are based on the US AWWA 45 First Edition regulation and the analytical and numerical calculus performed, considering certain operational conditions as set forth by the authors.
