Safety assessment on girth welds of large-diameter X80 pipelines in water network area by Yuqing LIU, Zhenyong ZHANG, Shengsi WU, Beilei JI, Hong ZHANG, Xiaoben LIU

“…As the soil in the water network area is soft and has large water content, it is very easy to settle, which applies an axial load to the pipeline, and the girth weld under the action of tensile load has a higher risk of failure. In order to ensure the intrinsic safety of the pipeline, a nonlinear finite element method was adopted to establish a numerical calculation model for the axial stress and strain of the pipeline under sudden settlement of soft soil based on the X80 pipeline with a diameter of 1 422 mm in the water network area, and thus the influence of different settlement displacements of soft soil on the size and distribution of the axial load of pipeline under the most unfavorable sudden displacement condition was studied. …”
