The safety of fuel-carrying pipelines crossing a seismogenic fault that has the potential for
large dislocation is of crucial importance to the environment. The paper studies …

At the present time, it is very common in practice to utilize Mohr-Coulomb model to simulate
the soil behaviour in the application of soil-pipeline interaction problems. However, the …

Landslide occurrence is a major consequence of seismic activity in uphill ground conditions.
There effects range from minor damage to severe malfunctioning of local infrastructure …

Overtime, continuous research efforts have been devoted to investigating the effects of
permanent ground deformation (PGD) on buried pipelines. These efforts have faced major …

This book provides readers with a comprehensive treatment of computer methods and
constitutive models that they can use for teaching, research, and solving a wide range of …

Currently in China X80 pipeline laying mostly concentrated in mountainous areas, oil and
gas pipeline transmission distance, through the complex and diverse terrain, the pipeline by …

A new finite element model was developed to analyze the mechanical behavior of pipelines
subjecting to horizontal landslides, where equivalent boundary springs were used at the …

Abstract High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) oil and gas pipelines are commonly
buried subsurface and the depth of burial is determined by upheaval buckling mitigation …

Abstract We present Seismo-VLAB (SVL), a new open-source, object-oriented finite element
software designed to optimize meso-scale simulations in the context of structural and …

Existing relationships for lateral backfill pressures on pipelines assume that the trench is
adequately wide to contain the failure surface. This condition is commonly violated in design …
