# Buried-pipe load screening
# Scope: Prismatic soil overburden on pipe projected width; arching and traffic omitted.
# Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending.
# Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards.

density = 1800 kg/m^3
cover = 1 m
diameter = 0.2 m
gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

pressure := density*gravity*cover [kPa]
lineLoad := pressure*diameter [N/m]

check line load budget: lineLoad <= 5000 N/m

scenario alternative: density = 1440 kg/m^3
