C. MINIMUM BENDING RADIUS Minimum bending radius for underground section is calculated from maximum margin of bending stress, based on Max (SE1, SE2) = 0.9 x SMYS. Hence, bending stress SB = -106.5 MPa R (Minimum Bend Radius) = E D / (2 |Sb|) 889 m D. CHECK ON THINNING DUE TO COLD BENDS: BEND RADIUS = 40 D Inner bend radius divided by diameter, (n) As per PD 8010-1:2004, % of Wall thinning = 50 / (n+1) Pipe thk. before bending = cal thk/(1-thinning %) Available thickness for bending (= Selected thk) Adequacy Check (Pipe thk before bending < Available thk) 39.5 1.23 15.7 15.9 OK % mm mm
