Fault fracture zones are adverse geological conditions often encountered in the
constructions of mountain tunnels. Extensive structural damage to the mountain tunnels in …

The present paper investigates the mechanical behavior of buried steel pipelines, crossing
an active strike-slip tectonic fault. The fault is normal to the pipeline direction and moves in …

The present paper addresses the mechanical behavior of buried steel pipes crossing active
strike-slip tectonic faults. The pipeline is assumed to cross the vertical fault plane at angles …

The performance of pipelines subjected to permanent strike–slip fault movement is
investigated by combining detailed numerical simulations and closed-form solutions. First a …

Seismic faulting is extremely detrimental to buried pipelines owing to bending moments and
axial forces generated by the soil–pipe interaction. Pipe responses to ground rupture are …

Presently available simplified analytical methods and semi-empirical methods for the
analysis of buried pipelines subjected to fault motion are suitable only for the strike-slip and …

Permanent ground displacement (PGD) caused by surface faulting is considered as one of
the most significant hazards affecting buried pipelines. Pipelines crossing reverse-slip faults …

Buried pipelines, such as water supply and power transmission systems, play a vital role in
daily life. Seismic resistance of the pipeline systems is a very important research topic …

Deep-buried tunnels are vulnerable to strike-slip faulting, the responses of which are
complicated. However, the effects of tectonic stress and cross-sectional shape on behaviors …

Fault rupture is one of the main hazards for continuous buried pipelines and the problem is
often investigated experimentally and numerically. While experimental data exists for …
