Title: How to design pipelines for earthquake resistance-1

Journal Article · · Pipeline Gas J.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5556815

This article examines the parameters which control soil-pipe interaction in relation to earthquake resistance. Discusses type and state of the soil and laying conditions, and types of pipelines. Standard construction techniques include placing the pipe in an earth trench, under embankments, in tunnels, over ground, attached to cables, and underwater. Japanese test studies on steel pipelines have shown that for straight pipelines, the axial strains are dominant during a seismic event.
