Soil settlement and pipeline displacement

[ir. M. Lammers]

Questions
- In the third case with a 24 m length, why the U-Z could be larger than the SUBZMAX? The pipe could either completely follow the soil or rigid enough move less than de soil. What is the physical meaning if ∆P>∆S?

Regarding your first question:
You should draw the applied settlement loads (SETLZ*F). These loads can be found in Function 5 (pipeline behaviour) under additional output tables: S-LOAD or 'Applied settlement loads'.
