    Bending from thrust on above to below ground pipeline

    No buoyancy issues at that depth with the weight of the soil.

    Bending from thrust on above to below ground pipeline

    Hi GDD, There are issues on site with high ground water and inability to dewater (contamination). The only advantage with the flanges is to simplify the installation process and limit the dewatering. Typically it would be socket fittings. Thanks

    Bending from thrust on above to below ground pipeline

    That is correct, it is flanged between A & B. However one thing I didn’t mention is the 22.5 deg bends are each rotated over one bolt hole. It is still symmetrical however, so I’m assuming the forces are still balanced? I have attached the sketch in plan view. Thanks...
