Pipelines have become a popular method of energy transportation for natural gas and oil
due to their high reliability and efficiency. However, geohazards pose a significant threat to …

Featured Application Main gas and oil pipelines are critical elements of the world's
infrastructure. The integrity of pipelines during earthquakes is a subject of intensive …

Onshore buried steel pipeline infrastructure is a critical component of the fuel supply system.
Pipeline failure due to seismic actions is socially, environmentally, and economically …

Due to local liquid accumulation (AL) in the low-lying section of the buried natural gas
pipeline, external corrosion will occur at the interface between the pipeline and the soil …

The safety operation of buried long-distance oil and gas pipelines has long been threatened
by the active fault movement due to earthquake. In this paper, a three-dimensional …

The pipeline response to shallow translational landslides is investigated using
semianalytical and numerical methods. The orthogonality of a pipeline and the landslide …

Local buckling of pipeline walls is a common failure mode for buried pipelines crossing
reverse faults. The damage evolution of pipelines from initial buckling to severe failure under …

Nonlinear structural response of buried continuous steel pipeline undergoing fault rupture
deformation is studied in a systematic manner. A detailed and efficient analysis framework …

Seismic fault displacement is the main factor leading to local buckling failure of the buried
pipeline, especially crossing the oblique-reverse fault. The local buckling behavior of the …

Fault rupture is a complex phenomenon and substantial secondary ruptures have been
observed. Such ruptures may cause damage to pipelines laying in the vicinity of main faults …
