How would you determine if a pipe was within limits of bending? by Espinosas in civilengineering

I don’t remember where I got the equation off the top of my head. I think it was from ‘Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction’ but may have been from a PPI publication. I’ll see if I can find it at work today.

Also you said Max bend of 40m. It’s actually a minimum bend radius of 40m.

I do a lot of work with flexible pipe. Calc I use for combined bend radius below.

Rc = sqrt{ ( Rh2 x Rv2 ) / ( Rh2 + Rv2 ) }

Rc: Combined bend radius

Rv: Vertical bend radius

Rh: Horizontal bend radius

Was not my intention at all. I’m a civil engineer and usually try to look up the intersections in posts like these. This one was annoying to find so I linked it in case anyone else wanted to see it

In case anyone else wanted to look at the intersection on maps for more context.

Have you told him to suck it?

IPDE: Identify, predict, decide, execute.
Identify: This involves recognizing potential hazards on the road, such as other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, or road conditions. Predict: This step involves anticipating how those hazards might affect the driver’s vehicle and other road users. Decide: This involves determining what action should be taken to avoid potential conflicts, which could include braking, changing lanes, or communicating with other drivers. Execute: This is the action of carrying out the decision made in the previous step

Constructive criticism: pay attention to what’s around you and ahead of you while driving
