A P I RP+3302 93 0732290 0509033 352 FOREWORD The need for an industry-recommended practice to address installation of pipeline cross- ings under railroads was first recognized by the publication of American Petroleum Institute (API) Code 26 in 1934.This code represented an understanding betweenthe pipeline and railroad industries regarding the installation of the relatively small-diameter lines then prevalent. The rapid growthof pipeline systems after 1946 usinglarge-diameter pipe led to the re- evaluation and revision of API Code 26 to include pipeline design criteria. A series of changes was made between 1949 and 1952, culminating in the establishment in 1952 of Recommended Practice 1102. The scope of Recommended Practice 1102 (1952) included crossings of highways in anticipation of the cost savings that would accrue to the use of thin-wall casings in conjunction with the pending construction of the Defense Interstate Highway System. Recommended Practice 1102 (1968) incorporated the knowledge gained from known data on uncased carrier pipes and casing design and fromthe performance of uncased car- rier pipes under dead and live loads, as well as under internal pressures. Extensive computer analysis was performed using Spangler's Iowa Formula [ 11 to determine the stress in un- cased carrier pipes and the wall thickness of casing pipes in instances where cased are pipes required inan installation. The performance of carrier pipes in uncasedcrossings and casings installed since 1934, and operated in accordance with APICode 26 and RecommendedPractice 11 02, has been excellent. There is no known occurrence in the petroleum industry a structural of failuredue to imposed earth and live loads on a carrier pipe or casing under a railroad or highway. Pipeline company reports to the U.S. Department of Transportation in compliance with 49 Code of Federal RegulationsPart 195 corroborate this record. The excellent performance record of uncasedcarrier pipes and casings may in partbe due to the design process used to determine the required wall thickness. Measurements of actual installed casings and carrier pipes using previous Recommended Practice 1102 design cri- teria demonstrate that the past design methods are conservative. In 1985, theGas Research Institute (GRI) began funding a research project at Cornel1 University to develop an im- proved methodologyfor the design of uncased carrier pipelines crossing beneath railroads and highways.The research scope included state-of-the-art reviews of railroad and highway crossing practices and performance records [2,3], three-dimensional finite element mod- eling of uncased carrier pipes beneath railroads and highways, and extensive field testing on full-scale instrumented pipelines. The results of this research are the basis for the new methodology for uncased carrier pipe design given in this edition of Recommended Prac- tice 1102. The GR1 summary report, Technical Summary undDatubase for Guidelinesfor Pipelines Crossing Railrouds and Highways by Ingraffea et al. [4], includes the results of the numerical modeling, the full derivationsof the design curvesused in this recommended practice, and the data base of the field measurements made on the experimental test pipelines. This recommended practice contains tabular values for the wall thickness of casings where they are required in an installation. The loading values that were employed are Cooper E-80 with 175% impactfor railroads and10,OOO pounds (44.5kilonewtons) per tan- dem wheel with 150% impact for highways. Due notice should be taken of the fact that ex- ternal loads on flexible pipes can cause failure by buckling. Buckling occurs when the vertical diameterhas undergone 18% to 22% deflection. Failure by buckling does not result in rupture of the pipe wall, although the metal may bestressed far beyond its elastic limit. Recommended Practice 1102 (1993) recognizes this performance of a properly installed flexible casing pipe, as opposed to heavy wall rigidstructures, and has based its design cri- teria on a maximum vertical deflection of 3% of the vertical diameter.
