Abstract / scope
ISO 16134:2006 specifies the design of earthquake- and subsidence-resistant ductile iron pipelines suitable for use in areas where seismic activity and land subsidence can be expected. It provides a means of determining and checking the resistance of buried pipelines and also gives example calculations. It is applicable to ductile iron pipes and fittings with joints that have expansion/contraction and deflection capabilities, used in pipelines buried underground.
