IL <br />Shaw Environmental, Inc. <br />NORTH COUNTY RECYCLING CENTER AND SANITARY LANDFILL, MODULE 1 <br />CHECK OF EXISTING LEACHATE COLLECTION PIPES <br />USING THE IMPROVED PIPE LOADING CALCULATION <br />REQUIRED: <br />METHOD: <br />REFERENCES: <br />Check if the existing 3 -inch diameter, SDR 15.5, perforated HDPE <br />pipes are capable of supporting the proposed maximum waste height <br />of 148 feet <br />Use the critical loading to analyze the pipe for the following four <br />design criteria: <br />1. Ring deflection <br />2. Pipe buckling <br />3. Wall crushing <br />4. Circumferential strain <br />L Driscopipe, Product and Technical Information, 1991 <br />2. Wilson-Fahmy, R.F. and Koerner, R.M.
