Installation loading and stress analysis involved with pipelines installed by

horizontal directional drilling
Abstract
Pipelines installed by horizontal directional drilling (HDD) are subject to a combination of tension, blending, and external pressure. These installation
loads, either individually or in combination, can be more severe than operational loads and may govern drilled path design or speci cation. This is
particularly true as the state of the art in horizontal directional drilling is advanced to larger pipe diameters and longer drilled lengths. This paper
presents methods for calculating installation loads, including pulling forces, and analyzing combined stresses in steel pipe during installation and
operation. Pipe to soil frictional and uidic drag forces are discussed. A method for analyzing the effect of bends on pulling force is presented. Methods
of analysis are illustrated with example calculations. The paper results from work done under the sponsorship of the Pipeline Research Committee at the
American Gas Association and is taken from an engineering design guide produced speci cally for HDD pipeline installation. 10 refs., 5 gs.
