Abstract
Polymer pipes buried underground are widely used in many engineering sectors. However, accurately assessing the stress–strain processes that occur in the pipe wall under trench conditions still remains a complex problem. In this article, HDPE pipes with a diameter of 200 mm were investigated in laboratory conditions based on a trench model. The burial depth was 1.2 m, and the soil had a mixed composition. The variation of radial displacement and ovalization parameters depending on loading was studied. The results showed that the deformation has a nonlinear character and that burial conditions significantly affect the ring stiffness. The obtained data can be used for calibrating numerical models and improving design standards.
