Application of SPF Large Displacement Type in Vancouver, Canada
Publication: Pipelines 2022
ABSTRACT
Water pipelines are vulnerable for failure at locations where they cross active fault lines. Steel pipe for crossing faults (hereinafter SPF) was developed by the authors as a seismic countermeasure construction method for pipelines which cross faults and has an extensive record of use in Japan in key trunk pipelines in the waterworks field. Subsequently, using the SPF technology, “SPF large displacement type” was developed, which could deform by low reaction force. With this improved SPF, the range of the SPF application is being expanded to include large ground displacements other than fault offset, such as subsidence and liquefaction settlement. This paper introduces the outline of the SPF large displacement type to expand the range of SPF application and its application through a case study in Vancouver, Canada. In the study, the application of SPF large displacement type was verified, using a numerical analysis.
