Abstract
This paper considers the structural solution for a main above-ground pipeline with a pre-stressed winding, which makes it possible to improve the efficiency of operation and reduce material consumption. The results from studying experimentally the features in the operation of prestressed pipelines under static operating loads are given. It is shown that the radial movements of the wall of a pre-stressed pipeline are constrained by the strained winding, which prevents its deformation. It was revealed that increasing the tension force of the winding wire reduces circular stresses in the pipeline wall by 1.3...1.6 times and increases meridional ones by 1.2...1.4 times. The experimental study into the models of prestressed pipelines with free vertical and horizontal oscillations has established the dependence of frequency characteristics on the operating conditions and pre-stress parameters. It was found that the envelope amplitude on the oscillogram of free attenuated oscillations takes the shape of an exponent, which indicates the damping effect of the pre-stress. Analysis of the change in the dynamic characteristics of the models depending on the pre-stress force has revealed that the frequencies of free oscillations increase by 1.5÷1.6 times while the oscillation decrement decreases by 1.2÷1.25 times. This paper reports the results of studying the influence of pre-stress parameters on the stressed-strained state of the pipeline model under forced horizontal and vertical oscillations. It is shown that the diagrams of circular dynamic stresses and deformations in the models of a prestressed pipeline are smoother compared to similar characteristics of a conventional pipeline tested at the same experimental parameters. The study results have made it possible to quantify the features in the operation of a pre-stressed pipeline under static and dynamic influences, taking into consideration the pre-stress parameters and operating conditions.

The stressed winding generates the stresses in the wall of the shell whose sign is inverse to the operational stresses, which are added to the reserve of the bearing capacity of the structure or lead to material savings by reducing the thickness of the shell wall [7, 8]
Summary
The construction and operation of large-scale pipelines are associated with high material costs, the danger of environmental pollution, and a large scale of destruction during accidents In this regard, such structures are categorized as especially responsible objects whose design should be based on scientifically based, technically feasible, fundamentally new, and economically justified solutions [1,2,3]. One of the effective ways to solve the issue of strength and durability of above-ground main pipelines is considered to be the winding of a high-strength profile (wire, tape, fiberglass, fiber plastic, etc.) Such a profile is wound around the body of the pipeline, produced by the industry according to conventional technology, perpendicular at an angle to the generatrix of the pipeline
