This paper investigates the effects of micro-tunneling on buried pipelines parametrically. A simplified numerical approach was developed and various parametric studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of ground settlements on the response of buried pipelines. The controlled parameters included the pipe stiffness, ground loss magnitude, and pipe location with respect to a micro-tunnel. Maximum settlement and curvature along a pipeline have been investigated and compared among others for different conditions. In addition, the numerical results have been compared with a theoretical method by Attewell et al. (1986), which is based on a Winkler type linear-elastic solution. The comparison indicated that the response of buried pipes to micro-tunneling-induced ground settlements highly depends on the soil-pipe interaction including the separation and slippage of pipe from soil with the effects of the investigated parameters. Therefore, rather than using the theoretical method directly, it would be a better assessment of the response of buried pipelines to consider the soil-pipe interaction in more realistic conditions.

This study examined the dynamic response of a subsea pipeline under an impact load to determine the effect of the seabed soil. A laboratory-scale soil-based pipeline impact test was carried out to investigate the pipeline deformation/strain as well as the interaction with the soil-pipeline. In addition, an impact test was simulated using the finite element technique, and the calculated strain was compared with the experimental results. During the simulation, the pipeline was described based on an elasto-plastic analysis, and the soil was modeled using the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. The results obtained were compared with ASME D31.8, and the differences between the analysis results and the rules were specifically investigated. Modified ASME formulae were proposed to calculate the precise structural behavior of a subsea pipeline under an impact load when considering sand- and clay-based seabed soils.

지중 매설관 거동은 주변 지반의 비선형성과 복합거동 특성의 영향을 직접적으로 받게 되나, 실무에서는 지반의 복잡한 거동 특성을 단순화한 보-스프링 모델이 현재까지도 널리 활용되고 있다. 따라서, 연구 분야에서는 지반의 비선형 특성과 복합거동 특성을 반영하기 위한 연속체해석 방법을 활용하려는 다양한 연구들이 진행되어 왔고, 본 논문에서도 기존에 연구된 다양한 연속체 해석기법을 활용하여 수치해석을 수행하고, 변위-반력 결과 및 지반파괴 형상을 기존 실대형시험 결과와 비교·검토하였다. 지반과 매설관의 상호작용을 적용한 접촉면 특성을 적용한 경우, 실대형시험에 근접한 반력 결과를 도출할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 실대형 시험과 유사한 파괴 형상도 확인하였다. 지반과 매설관의 상호작용을 무시한 매설관과 지반 절점 공유 방법의 경우, 과도한 반력 값을 도출하고, 파괴양상도 상이하였다. 또한, 대변형 해석에서 수렴성이 좋은 동적해석 explicit 방법, ALE 방법, CEL 방법을 각각 적용한 결과, 정적해석과 유사한 변위-반력 관계 및 파괴 형상이 확인되어, 향후 지반분야 대변형 해석에서 동적해석법도 충분히 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다.

본 논문은 물순환 기구와 지형 발달에 대한 상호작용을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 일환으로 조사한 내용 중 'U자형 골' 곡두사면의 강우-유출특성과 수분분포 그리고 지중수이동에 관하여 기술하였다. 그 내용은 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 'U자형 골' 전면에 나타난 fissure와 파이프 입구는 직접유출 성분을 토양 파이프 혹은 토양층에 많은 수량을 유입시킴으로서 토양층의 침식을 가속화시켜 토양 파이프의 확대와 발달에 기여할 것으로 간주된다. 그리고 토양에 침투한 대부분의 강우가 파이프류로 유출되고, 나머지 일부가 지하수에 공급됨으로서 강우강도가 작은 강우 이벤트에도 선행강우의 효과에 의해서 지하수위와 파이프류가 민감하게 반응한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 토양 파이프는 'U자형 골' 곡두사면의 물질수지를 좌우하는 중요한 요인이라 할 수 있다. 그리고 지중수의 비유속은 곡두사면 하단부보다 상단부에서 큰 변화를 나타내고. 강수량에 따라 곡두사면 상단부에 상대적으로 큰 비유속이 부가됨에 따라 'U자형 골' 곡두사면이 상부로 후퇴하는 조건을 제공한다고 생각할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 연성 매설관과 지표 상재하중의 상호작용에 관한 내용을 다루었다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 이용한 매개변수 연구를 수행하였으며, 이와 아울러서 적용된 유한요소해석 모형의 검증 및 지표 상재하중을 부담하는 연성 매설관의 거동 파악을 목적으로 실내모형실험을 수행하였다. 해석결과를 토대로 지반/매설관 접촉면에서의 연직응력 및 파이프의 축력 분포 경향 등 지표 상재 하중하에서 매설관의 하중응답 특성을 구체적으로 고찰하였으며, 그 결과를 종합적으로 분석하여 추후 수행될 보다 효율적인 매설관 설계/해석법의 개발에 사용될 데이터 베이스를 구축하였다. 해석결과를 분석한 결과 매설관과 지표 상재하중의 상호작용 정도는 매설관과 상재하중의 상대적 위치에 따라 좌우되며, 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려하지 않고 있는 현 설계방법은 연성 매설관의 지표 상재 하중에 대한 응답특성을 효율적으로 반영하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 지표 상재하중에 의한 연성 매설관의 최대 축력을 예측할 수 있는 반경험적 평가식을 제시하였다.

This paper reports the application study of the ground reinforement under a buried pipeline subjected to differential settlement via a finite element modelling. The Soil-reinforrement interaction helps to mimimize the differential settlement between the adjoining pipe segments. The settlement pattern and deformation slope of a pipeline have been evaluated for a boundary condition at the joint between a rigid structure and apipeline. The analysis results are compared for both non-reinforied and reinforced cases to measure the effectiveness of the soil reinforcement for restraining the settlement of the pipeline.

With the increase in the exploitation depth of offshore oil and gas, it is possible to control the global buckling of deep-sea pipelines by the snake lay method. Previous studies mainly focused on the analysis of critical buckling force and critical temperature of pipelines under the snake-like laying method, and pipelines often suffer structural failure due to seismic disasters during operation. Therefore, seismic action is a necessary factor in the design and analysis of submarine pipelines. In this paper, the seismic action of steel pipes in the operation stage after global buckling has occurred under the active control method is analyzed. Firstly, we have established a simplified finite element model for the entire process cycle and found that this modeling method is accurate and efficient, solving the problem of difficult convergence of seismic wave and soil coupling in previous solid analysis, and improving the efficiency of calculations. Secondly, through parameter analysis, it was found that under seismic action, the pipe diameter mainly affects the stress amplitude of the pipeline. When the pipe wall thickness increases from 0.05 m to 0.09 m, the critical buckling force increases by 150%, and the maximum axial stress decreases by 56%. In the pipe soil interaction, the greater the soil viscosity, the greater the pipe soil interaction force, the greater the soil constraint on the pipeline, and the safer the pipeline. Finally, the pipeline failure determination formula was obtained through dimensionless analysis and verified, and it was found that the formula was accurate.

In meeting the technical needs for deepwater conditions and overcoming the shortfalls of single-layer pipes for deepwater applications, pipe-in-pipe (PIP) systems have been developed. While, for PIP pipelines directly laid on the seabed or with partial embedment, one of the primary service risks is lateral buckling. The critical axial force is a key factor governing the global lateral buckling response that has been paid much more attention. It is influenced by global imperfections, submerged weight, stiffness, pipe-soil interaction characteristics, et al. In this study, Finite Element Models for imperfect PIP systems are established on the basis of 3D beam element and tube-to-tube element in Abaqus. A parameter study was conducted to investigate the effects of these parameters on the critical axial force and post-buckling forms. These parameters include structural parameters such as imperfections, clearance, and bulkhead spacing, pipe/soil interaction parameter, for instance, axial and lateral friction properties between pipeline and seabed, and load parameter submerged weight. Python as a programming language is been used to realize parametric modeling in Abaqus. Some conclusions are obtained which can provide a guide for the design of PIP pipelines.

A new mechanical model for predicting the vibration of a pipe pile embedded in longitudinally layered visco-elastic media with radial inhomogeneity is proposed by extending Novak's plain-strain model and complex stiffness method to consider viscous-type damping. The analytical solutions for the dynamic impedance, the velocity admittance and the reflected signal of wave velocity at the pile head are also derived and subsequently verified by comparison with existing solutions. An extensive parametric analysis is further performed to examine the effects of shear modulus, viscous damping coefficient, coefficient of disturbance degree, weakening or strengthening range of surrounding soil and longitudinal soft or hard interbedded layer on the velocity admittance and the reflected signal of wave velocity at the pile head. It is demonstrated that the proposed model and the obtained solutions provide extensive possibilities for practical application compared with previous related studies.

This paper presents an analytical method, application of expansion, mechanical design, and integrated expansion design of subsea insulated pipe-in-pipe (PIP) systems. PIP system consists of a flowline and a casing pipe for the transport of high temperature and high pressure product from the subsea wells. To prevent heat lass from the fiowline, insulation material is applied between the pipes. The fiawline pipe and the casing pipe have mechanical connections through steel ring plate (water stops) and bulkheads. Pipeline expansion is defined by temperature, internal pressure, soil resistance, and interaction force between the flowline and the casing pipe. The results of the expansion analysis, the mechanical design of connection system of the two pipes and tie-in spool design are integrated for the whole PIP system.
