Buried Corrugated Metal Pipe buckling benchmark

Corrugated metal pipes are used in a number of applications, including drainage culverts, egress tunnels, and underpasses. Their capacity is strongly dependent on soil support and is often limited by stability. An analysis of the buckling capacity of a buried corrugated metal pipe is presented here.
