Design Software
Pipe Pac
Software from the ACPA offers integrated analysis using three independent programs for D-Load Calculations (3EB), estimating the materials cost of the pipe and embedment Zones (CAPE), and the real cost of the materials specified over the design life of the program (LCA).
- Pipe Pac helps you select the right material for a buried infrastructure system.
- Pac is indispensable to specifiers, designers, contractors, purchasers and planners.
The Features...
- Integrated analysis using three independent programs (3EB, CAPE and LCA).
- Easy comparison of flexible and rigid systems.
- Calculates earth loads and pipe classes for concrete pipe.
- Option of standards to follow - ASTM or CSA.
- Choice of analysis in imperial or metric units.
The Benefits...
- Evaluates costs associated with each alternate pipe material, based on design components and project requirements.
- Performs multiple economic analyses to compare different pipe materials based on total cost over the life of the project.
- Incorporates project design life, material service life, economic factors, traffic costs and other project related items.
- Estimates the material costs of embedment zones for both rigid and flexible pipe, and allows for the comparison of different embedment scenarios.
- For each depth of fill, computes resultant earth, live, and surcharge loads; the earth arching factor; the bedding factor; and the required pipe strength based on 0.01" (0.3 mm) crack strength, or ultimate strength in the Three-Edge Bearing test for non-reinforced pipe.
Ease of Use...
- Just point and click...Pipe Pac works in a PC Windows environment.
- Standards built into the program are used throughout North America.
- With this software you can...
- Analyze data in imperial or metric units.
- Select data from default tables or enter data manually.
