Vulnerability of Buried Pipelines to Landslides

Volume 2: Pipeline Safety Management Systems; Project Management, Design, Construction and Environmental Issues; Strain Based Design; Risk and Reliability; Northern Offshore and Production Pipelines, 2016
The movement of a mass of rock, debris or earth down a slope is a landslide, which in the pipeline industry is often referred to as ground movement. Landslides continue to cause pipeline failures throughout the industry, sometimes as the singular cause of failure and in others cases as a contributing factor to failures (such as stress corrosion ...

Measurement of Deformations in Buried Pipeline

Journal of Surveying Engineering, 1992
Since 1986, measurements of deformations have been made on a section of large‐diameter buried natural gas pipeline in northern Alberta. Precise conventional survey techniques are used to measure the deformations. Three‐dimensional translation components of the deformations are determined through the use of a survey network, while three‐dimensional ...

Seismic Evaluation of Buried Pipelines

Pipelines 2002, 2002
This paper presents two methods of analysis for buried pipelines subjected to seismic wave propagation effects, temperature load, and internal pressure. The use of closed-form equations for analysis of a single bend with arbitrary bend angle subjected to seismic ground strain, temperature load, and internal pressure is first presented.

Vibration Frequencies of Buried Pipelines

Journal of the Technical Councils of ASCE, 1978
To aid the research on seismic vulnerability, behavior and design of underground piping system, this paper develops and provides the basic fundamentals of dynamics of buried pipelines. The dynamic fundamental frequencies of continuously elastic-supported straight pipelines subjected to axial, torsional and flexural motions. Various boundary conditions,

Telluric Effects on a Buried Pipeline

Corrosion, 1993
A 515-km pipeline in northeastern Australia exhibited 5 V telluric potential fluctuations in the 130 km of its length adjacent to the coast. The rest of the pipeline was relatively unaffected. The potential fluctuations were constrained using a combination of potentiostatic cathodic protection (CP) units, diodes connecting the pipeline to Earths, and ...

Buried Seafloor Pipeline Crossing a Fault

Global Oceans 2020: Singapore – U.S. Gulf Coast, 2020
Steel tubular structures are widely used in offshore structures and seafloor pipeline. Soil movement due to storm or earthquake could cause costly damage to buried pipelines or piles of the offshore fixed platform. The objective here is to prevent such failure by strengthening a single wall tubular with double wall, in which the annulus is grouted with

Centrifuge Modeling of Buried Pipelines

Advancing Mitigation Technologies and Disaster Response for Lifeline Systems, 2003
Fault crossing, lateral spreads and other types of permanent ground deformation (PGD) are arguably the most severe seismic hazards for continuous buried pipelines. Current analysis and design procedures, to a great extent, are based upon Finite Element (FE) modeling.

Seismic Response of Buried Submarine Pipelines

Journal of Energy Resources Technology, 1988
Submarine pipelines are many a time buried into a jet-blasted channel in the seabed. Seismic response of such buried pipelines are investigated in this paper. The earthquake is considered as a partially correlated stationary random process characterized by a power spectral density function (PSDF).
