Abstract:This study focused on the behavior of a burial pipe with special reference to its stability against floatation subject to soil liquefaction. The excess pore water pressure response behaviors of soil foundations, and the effectiveness of different types of drainage or reinforcement measures were investigated using Finite Element Method (FEM). FEM numerical model is a coupled stress-flow finite element procedure, based on u-p formulation of dynamic Biot's equations (Zien-kiewicz, 1982). The hyperbolic stress and strain relationship was used in the numerical model, which takes into account the stiffness and strength degradation. Pore pressure generation due to earthquake loading was calculated via the pore pressure model (Seed et al, 1979). Performance of the numerical models was studied by simulating a series of shake table tests. Excess pore pressures predicted by numerical models were compared with the pore pressure transducer records during experiments. Also, the effectiveness of different drainage measures against uplifting of pipelines was compared. It was demonstrated that the models were able to provide results in agreement with experiments.
