Dynamic Behavior and Parameter Characteristics of Buried Pipeline in Airports

Abstract

Buried pipeline, as one of the crucial facilities of airport ground engineering, has been extensively utilized for the transportation of petroleum, natural gas, industrial wastewater, and more. However, there are significant gaps in the research on the dynamic response of buried pipelines in airports under the action of dynamic traffic loads, which severely hampers the design and engineering quality of oil transmission pipelines. This study builds a three-dimensional finite element model to simulate the action of vehicles on the pipe–soil structure with actual loads. Moreover, the current research establishes a dynamic analysis model of pipe–soil interaction to analyze the material damping and load parameters. Using the structural dynamic response equation and Rayleigh damping calculation theory, this study investigates the change law of pipe dynamic stress and influencing factors and presents the recommended values of the parameters related to the pipe–soil interaction. Results are as follows. A damping ratio of 0.05 can enhance the time lag of the dynamic response of the structure and weaken the response peak. For the Rayleigh damping parameters, the viscous damping coefficient [Formula: see text] has almost no effect on the dynamic response of the pipe–soil structure, so it can be disregarded in the calculation. With the increase of the axial weight of the traffic load above the pavement structure, the peak value of each dynamic response quantity of the pipe–soil structure and load magnitude. The suggested value of the dynamic load coefficient of the pipe–soil structure is 1.5. Lastly, the earth pressure and dynamic load coefficients are suggested to take values for different load and axle type cases.
