CAESAR II Version

Specifies the ultimate downward load carrying capacity of the soil on a force per length basis. The value you enter is the maximum resistance of the soil to a downward (-Y) 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.
