Calculate API RP 1102 pipeline railroad crossings.
API 1102 is suitable for cased and uncased steel pipeline railway crossings.
The design factors are calculated from the figures. Design factors are extrapolated for input values outside the range in the figures. Extrapolated values should be used carefully (select either constant value or constant slope option). The standard soil weight is 18.9 kN/m^3. Standard loads for single track and double track railroads are included. Soil weight and wheel loads can also be user defined.
Note : The calculations are based on the SI data values. User input values can be either US units or SI units. Change units on the setup page (click the Setup link on the calc bar). Units can be mixed, and do not need to be consistent.
