Abstract:This manual presents an overview, user instructions and technical backup for the computer program PIPECAR. PIPECAR is a program for the structural analysis and design of circular and horizontal reinforced concrete pipe. It has been written to run on IBM or IBM compatible microcomputers. Th input routines are user friendly; only minimal experience with computers is required prior to use. PIPECAR completes structural analyses for loads due to pipe weight, soil weight, internal gravity fluid weight, live loads and internal pressure up to 50 ft of head. Loads may be applied via the radial load system (commonly called the Olander analysis), the uniform load system (commonly called the Paris coefficients) or the manual load system, which is a modified uniform system. Forces resulting from each load condition may be printed out separately. Structural design is in accordance with AASHTO Section 17.4. Design criteria include ultimate flexture, radial tension and diagonal tension, and service load crack control. Most variables can be controlled by the user. Knowledge of structural design codes for culverts is required. The quantity of output is controlled by the user. All output is formatted for 8.5-in by 11-in. paper. User instructions include descriptions of all input variables and design examples. The programmer manual includes listings of all technical subroutines.
