Abstract
1. When designing pipelines on collapsing soils it is necessary to take into account the most unfavorable conditions from the viewpoint of bending of the pipeline—settlement of the intermediate supports every other one, all even or all odd. 2. In this case, if the amount of deflection of the penstock under load is less than the amount of settlement of the intermediate supports, it is necessary to take into account disconnection of the intermediate roller support from work. 3. Control assembly of members of the assembly links during manufacture of the oversize penstocks as well as quality control of the welded joints during enlargement are necessary conditions for achieving a high quality and eliminating losses of time during assembly. 4. To shorten the time of construction and assembly works, provided a thoroughly conducted geodetic survey, it is expedient to assemble the penstock from two sides—from the side of the water intake and from the side of the powerhouse.
