I need to analyse what's going on when a hexagon pipe is submerged in drying cement.
The pipe is hollow with a thickness and is hexagon shape, where the hexagon is pointing up. It is submerged in standard cement, where the top point of the hexagon is about 100mm from the suface.
I understand when the cement is poured in, buoyancy forces act on the pipe pushing it up. Hydrostatic pressure is also acting on the pipe, imncreasing with depth. is there anything else needed to be considered and how would you calculate the forces.
thanks for any feedback
