✦ Synopsis

This study documents the functional failure of a concrete lined steel sewage pipe[ Symptoms of the pipe failure are presented[ Failure of the pipe system can be attributed to incompatibility between the mechanical behavior of the pipe and the methodology employed in its design[ The underlying cause of the failure may be traced to a lack of su.cient back_ll sti}ness[ In situ testing was used to evaluate the sti}ness of the side back_ll[ The existing pipeÐtrench system condition was analysed numerically and a criterion developed for the consideration of the structural integrity of the pipeline[ Þ 0887 Elsevier Science Ltd[ All rights reserved[
