Abstract:This study has a technical and applied character. A PVC structured wall pipe can be produced by spirally winding a ribbed sheet having a male-female lock, chemically welded by an adhesive. These pipes are "flexible" and are used mainly in underground installations, to convey fluids in free duct regime. Initial studies have indicated that the buckling resistance of the ribs from the sheet coiling to the tube manufacturing is the critical design parameter. This study presents the theoretical analytical developme… Show more
