Specification of extra loads on top of soil along pipeline axis (Input Table)

Data description/conditions:

Identifier: (toggleable)

Identification name of data reference point

Required

TOPLOAD1:

Extra top load on pipeline just before and at X-P reference point

≥ 0.

LOADF1:

Load factor for TOPLOAD1

> 0. and < 10. / Undefined if TOPLOAD1=0.

[Default: 1.35]

(If specified, TOPLOAD1 is multiplied by LOADF1.)

TOPLOAD2:

Extra top load on pipeline just after X-P reference point

≥ 0. / Undefined

(If TOPLOAD2=UNDEFINED it is assumed TOPLOAD2=TOPLOAD1)

LOADF2:

Load factor for TOPLOAD2

> 0. and <10. / Undefined

(If specified, TOPLOAD2 is multiplied by LOADF2. If LOADF2=UNDEFINED it is assumed that LOADF2=LOADF1.)

(in case there is no soil TOPLOAD shall be 0.)
