Nonlinear finite element modeling of buried conduit structure

Basically, the purposes of buried conduit structures are to carry water in water supply system, to carry wastewater or storm water and also for conducting small streams or drains under embankments. Buried conduit structures such as buried pipes, culverts and arches are generally designed to resist t...
