    Traffic Loading Calculator

    Uploaded by

    Michael J. Bane
    This document provides calculations for determining traffic loading on a high pressure pipeline crossing. It details information about the specific project including location and pipeline specifications. It then calculates the internal hoop stress based on internal pressure and the external hoop stress from soil dead load and vehicle live load using various formulas and parameters from included tables. The total stress is calculated and compared to the material strength to determine if the depth of cover is adequate or if additional solutions are required.
