Plastic failure of pipelines caused by ground overload is increasing. The one-dimensional model based on mechanical nodal parameters cannot predict the plastic failure characteristics of the three-dimensional structure of the pipeline. In order to predict the evolution of the plastic failure of the pipeline with the yield strength as the evaluation criterion, a multidimensional model is needed to consider the changes in the external loads and the changes in the mechanical properties of the pipeline along the circumferential and axial directions. In this study, a finite element calculation model for a large-diameter gas pipeline underground overload was established to investigate the law of stress change in the plastic zone. The nonlinear surface fitting method was used to establish the angle fitting model of the plastic zone and the depth fitting model of the plastic zone. The variation of the area of the plastic zone was described, and the reliability of the results was verified. In addition, the accuracy of the fitting model and the cost of the finite element calculation were evaluated. The results showed that the pipeline entered plasticity at a ground load of P = 25 MPa, and the plastic zone developed continuously in the axial and circumferential directions as the ground load increased. The angle and depth increased to 36° and 1.8 m, respectively, at P = 50 MPa. The average absolute errors for the plastic zone depth fitting model and the plastic zone angle fitting model were 6.42% and 6.64%, respectively, both of which can provide an accurate description of the plastic zone. The calculation results of the plastic zone angle fitting model could meet requirements of data processing and analysis. The plastic zone depth fitting model could be used to obtain solutions with higher accuracy, but it increases the cost of finite element simulation.

The problem of natural gas pipeline overload failure is of great significance, and the development law of critical mechanical properties of pipelines is of great importance to the safety design of natural gas pipelines. This study establishes a three-dimensional finite element computational model of the pipeline that integrates the changes in axial and circumferential mechanical characteristics, and uses the yield strength, safety factor and ellipticity indexes as criteria to dimensionless the axial depth and circumferential angle of the plastic zone to explore the characteristics of the plastic damage stage of the pipeline. By solving the plastic hazardous zones based on the safety factor, the applicability of the dimensionless parameters is extended to investigate the development laws of the hazardous zones and the correlation mechanism between failure criteria and hazardous zones. The results show that as the ground load increases, the pipeline deformation gradually develops into the plastic stage (P = 16 MPa) and then goes through three deformation stages. With the increase of safety factor, the change trend of the proportion of stage I in the whole loading process decreases to 4 %, the change trend of the proportion of stage III increases significantly to 52 %, while the proportion of stage II shows a change trend of decreasing and then increasing, the proportion of this stage ranges from 30 % to 38 %. Based on the law of variation of axial ellipticity of pipeline section, a high-risk section of pipeline was identified in the range of 0–2 m from the point of maximum local compression strain. The results of the study can serve as a basis for accurate evaluation of the safety status of natural gas pipelines under overload.

The safety of underground energy transmission pipeline network is threatened by traffic, earthquakes, explosions, and other stresses. To solve the problem of damage to the underground energy transmission pipeline networks by external loads, this study analyzed the mechanical properties of the Pipe-Soil Coupling System (PSCS) under external loads from a mechanical perspective. The pipeline constitutive model, the soil constitutive model, the internal effect of the PSCS, the influence of external stresses on the PSCS, and the dynamic response of the PSCS under various research methodologies were all studied. First, different mechanical features of the pipes and soil were employed to investigate the pipe and soil constitutive models. Second, based on the different force directions within the PSCS, the earth pressure and axial friction of the PSCS were investigated to clarify the interaction between the pipe and soil. For the purpose of to better understand the degradation of the underground pipeline state, the impacts of man-made and natural stresses on the PSCS failure were explored. Finally, the results of the investigation of the dynamic response of the PSCS were examined for their applicability using three research methods: theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental analysis. It is found that the existing constitutive models of pipeline and soil are lack of basis, which increases the difficulty of the selection of constitutive models in the process of research. In the analysis of load effect, earth pressure plays a dominant role in affecting the local stability of pipeline, but the calculation accuracy of soil pressure needs to be improved. Due to the lack of experimental guidance for complex damage phenomena under external loads, it is impossible to accurately determine the limit state parameters of pipelines under complex damage modes. It is critical to create and refine the theory underpinned by numerous experimental data in order to address the issue of pipeline dynamic response under multi-field coupling, including explosion and earthquake. This work is critical for analyzing existing research findings, identifying future research problems, and enhancing buried pipeline safety management.

In response to the heat loss caused by the temperature difference between the heating pipes and external environment during the pipe transportation, heat contradiction between the total heat loss of the piping system and heat transfer between tubes, as well as economic balance between the cost of heat loss and cost of material loss. Based on TOTS (Two-supply/One-return, triple pipe structure) heat loss theory of the fourth-generation district heating system, this paper optimizes structure of pipes by setting dimensionless characteristic parameters θ and β. Finally, a mathematical model is proposed to calculate economic efficiency of pipeline network by considering the cost of initial construction material loss and operation heat loss of the pipe. Results show that, from energy perspective, comprehensive heat as system energy consumption evaluation index is positively correlated with θ, decreases first and then increases as β increases. Total heat loss of system dominates comprehensive heat. Lowest comprehensive heat of system is 18.12 w/m for θ of 0.1945 and β of 0.0739. From economic perspective, total system loss cost as system economic evaluation index is positively correlated with both θ and β. Total system heat loss cost dominates total system loss cost. Lowest total system loss cost is $29.39/m for θ of 0.1945 and β of 0.0509.

Long-distance energy pipeline pass under roads, subjecting them to repeated stress and posing pipeline safety problems. To simulate the effects of vehicles driving over energy transmission pipeline, this paper examines large-caliber buried pipelines in the suburbs. In this study, a mechanical action model of vehicle-soil-pipeline (VSP) interactions to transform the process of a vehicle driving into the dynamic process of a load changing with time in the specified area was created. The VSP model was used to analyze the influence of moving load and position on the structural characteristics of the pipeline section. An equivalent solution method with high precision and high calculation efficiency was proposed. The results showed that as the loading position approaches the pipeline or the load increases, the stress value at the top of the pipeline gradually exceeded the stress value at the bottom of the pipeline and became the area with the maximum stress value. The minimum stress location also changed from the lower half near the pipeline bottom (Point D-135°) to the upper half near the pipeline top (Point B-45°or Point H-315°). Using the polynomial fitting method, the stress values of the maximum points were equivalently converted. Under the premise of considering pipeline safety, the most suitable functional relationship for the moving load equivalent model was obtained.
