The behavior of steel pipe during wheel load was studied in this paper by FLAC 3D. A steel pipe is buried at a shallow depth beneath a roadway. An analysis is needed to evaluate the effect of wheel loading on the road surface deflection and pipe deformation. The top of the pipe is 1.5m beneath the r...
