In this paper, we present the results of investigations pertaining to the structural behavior of egg-shaped pipe buried underground. Mechanical properties of pvc sample taken from the egg-shaped pipe are tested according to KS M 3006. Test results are used in the finite element simulation for the structural behavior of the egg-shaped pvc pipe buried underground. Maximum stress obtained at the pipe is compared with the maximum strength of pvc pipe material. It was found that the egg-shaped pvc pipe buried underground is safe.
