Design Data 9: Standard Installations & Bedding Factors for the Indirect Design Method
In later work published in 1933, M. G. Spangler presented three bedding configurations and the concept of a bedding factor to relate the supporting strength of the buried pipe to the strength obtained in a three-edged bearing test. This publication, Design Data 9, discusses the more recently developed Standard Installations and the appropriate indirect design procedures to be used with them.
