This British Standard gives the UK established method for the structural design of buried pipes under various conditions of loading. The procedures are explained, with tables listing the recommended design values for the appropriate variables in the design formulae, figures providing graphical information on vehicle surcharge loadings, and tables of rigid pipe bedding factors.

NOTE The scope of BS EN 1295-1:2019 is restricted to the structural design of water supply pipelines, drains and sewers, and other water industry pipelines, whether operating at atmospheric, greater or lesser pressure.

Some aspects of longitudinal effects are discussed (see Annex A), but this topic is not fully covered.

The initial selection of options for the pipe material involves consideration of matters beyond structural design and is outside the scope of this standard.
