Strain Demands on Buried Pipelines from Earthquake-Induced Ground Movements
Publication: Pipelines 2019: Planning and Design
ABSTRACT
Buried pipelines can be exposed to transient and permanent ground movements (e.g., lateral spreading, landslides, differential settlement, and fault rupture) in earthquakes. These movements can be characterized in terms of ground strain as a function of the ground displacement over the length or width which that displacement occurs. These ground strains impose demands for which the pipes must be designed to withstand and ensure they remain functional following an earthquake. This paper identifies and tabulates the range of transient and permanent ground strains pipes may be subjected to, providing guidance to product developers and engineering designers for improving buried pipe performance during earthquakes.
