Evidence from past earthquakes suggests that damage inflicted to buried natural gas (NG)
pipelines can cause long service disruptions, leading to unpredictably high socioeconomic …

Buried water pipelines are vulnerable to fail or break due to excessive loading or ground
displacements. Accurate evaluation of pipe performance and serviceability relies on the …

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 …

Tunnels subjected to reverse fault dislocation undergo severe structural damage, and their
mechanical response and failure characteristics play a key role in seismic fortification efforts …

In the present paper a semi-analytical methodology for a nonlinear stress–strain analysis of
buried steel pipelines at active fault crossings is presented and verified. The developed …

A fault zone consists of a fault core and a fault damage zone, and its width varies from tens
to hundreds of metres. The permanent displacement of a stratum during rupture of a fault is …

To investigate the mechanical response and failure characteristic of mining tunnel under the
effect of normal fault dislocation and the effect of dislocation resistant design parameters on …

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 …
