 PIPECAR
(Pipe Culvert Analysis and Reinforcing
Design Software)
[ return
to Software menu page ]
The
latest version of PIPECAR allows you to design
concrete pipe in accordance with ASCE, SIDD
(Standard Installations Direct Design) and
AASHTO design standards for the buried condition,
using the Direct Design method. PIPECAR (Pipe
Culvert Analysis and Reinforcing Design)
is a FHWA program developed in conjunction
with ACPA as a direct method of structural
analysis and design of concrete pipe sections
with circular and elliptical reinforcement.
The program is written with user friendly
input routines requiring only minimal computer
experience. The user controls most parameters,
and a knowledge of structural design codes
is essential.
User
instructions include descriptions of all
input variables and design examples. Structural
design includes ultimate flexure, shear and
radial tension, and service load crack control.
This latest version of PIPECAR incorporates
the Heger earth pressure distributions in
addition to Paris, Olander, or user defined
load systems. The program determines moment,
thrust, and shear stresses due to pipe weight,
soil weight, fluid weight, live loads and
internal pressure up to 50 feet of head.
