Buried water pipelines are vulnerable to fail or break due to excessive loading or ground
displacements. Accurate evaluation of pipe performance and serviceability relies on the …

The safety of underground energy transmission pipeline network is threatened by traffic,
earthquakes, explosions, and other stresses. To solve the problem of damage to the …

This study presents an analytical solution for the longitudinal response of shield tunnel lining
with an explicit consideration of ring-to-ring interaction represented by two-directional joint …

In urban areas, new tunnels are frequently constructed beneath existing tunnels. The
common prediction of the deformation of existing tunnels depends on an elastic continuous …

Any tunnel construction inevitably causes differential soil movements, resulting in additional
adverse effects on existing pipelines. Although there are many jointed pipelines in practice …

Soil-pipeline separation due to tunnelling has been certainly substantiated in previous
model tests. However, this phenomenon has seldom been considered in current analytical …

An analytical model is proposed to estimate the discontinuous mechanical behavior of an
existing shield tunnel above a new tunnel. The existing shield tunnel is regarded as a …

Shield tunneling is widely used in urban subway tunnel construction. Old urban
underground pipelines generally have small leakages that are difficult to find. The water …

Buried pipelines are one of the critical lifeline structures, and the evaluation of pipeline
performance under seismic faulting is essential for protection of pipeline networks. This …

The existing tunnel construction causes stratum deformation, which in turn leads to
additional deformation and internal force of the overlying pipeline, thus increasing the risk of …
