Abstract
The Plate Com. of the American Iron and Steel Inst. sponsored research to improve methods of predicting ring deflection of buried, large‐diameter pipes subjected to external soil pressure. A simple relationship was found between ring deflection, the predicted vertical soil strain, and the stiffness ratio, which generally confirms theory but is simpler, is more accurate, and establishes statistical confidence levels.
