CAESAR II Version

Specifies the ultimate upward load carrying capacity of the soil on a force per length basis. The value you enter is the maximum resistance of the soil to an upward displacement of the pipeline. It is at this point in the loading where the soil behavior becomes perfectly plastic. This option is required if Soil Model No. is set to 1; otherwise, leave this option blank.

The smallest allowable non-zero value is 0.5.

  • If the upward and downward ultimate loads are equal, then you need only enter a value for one. The other load defaults to the entered value.

  • If both Ultimate Upward Load and Ultimate Downward Load are set to 0 or left blank, the software returns a fatal error.
