Calculate API RP 1111 limit state pipeline combined loading check.
For the external pressure check, the external pressure should be calcuated for the maximum water depth (highest astronomical tide plus storm surge). The internal pressure should be the maximum sustainable pressure (normally zero).
For the axial load check, the axial load can be calculated for either fully constrained pipeline, unconstrained pipeline, or user defined loads.
