Abstract

In this paper, a set of the procedures of the numerical simulation for the buried pipeline is proposed. These numerical procedures are used to compute the large deformations of the buried pipeline through the fault. In order to simulate the fault slip, displacement control is adopted. The geometric and material nonlinearity of buried pipe are considered. The beam elements are used to calculate the buckling deformation of the pipe. The ASCE (1984) soil spring models (SSM) are used to model the interaction of deformation of the soil and the buried pipe. In order to confirm rationality of numerical results using SSM, comparison between experiment result in Cornell University (CU) [5], Trautmann and O'Rourke experiment results [7] and SSM numerical results are studied. Two examples demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed procedures.
