PART I: OVERVIEW OF PAST WORK

The basic philosophy on design and performance of NG pipelines remains the same as in the past. What has changed since the 1970’s-1980’s, when basic research was done on soil-structure-interaction phenomena, is that we have much information on soil impedance functions and nonlinear soil behavior. What has changed since the 1980’s-1990’s, when basic research was done on numerical methods such as FEM and BEM, is that we have powerful and versatile FEM programs that can handle very large-scale problems involving thousands or even millions DOF. There is now much more emphasis than in the past on stochastic concepts comprising risk analysis, the introduction of fragility curves, and on the reliability of pipeline performance to environmentally-induced loads.

Page 29: EX C H A N G E Risk

There is much more filtering of research work in contemporary design codes than in the past. This means design code updating is more frequent and practicing engineers need to upgrade their skills. The down side is design code complexity, which may cause over-conservative design. For instance, the current Greek code on building rehabilitation is so strict that it is impossible to find structures built before the 1990’s that can satisfy contemporary seismic performance issues.

PART V: LIMIT STATE BASED STRENGTH DESIGN Four limit states for pipeline design are identified: [1] Ultimate limit state (ULS), associated with single load application or overload situation: Bursting, local buckling and collapse. [2] Serviceability limit state (SLS), associated with possible failure but reduces the operational capability or utility of a pipeline. [3] Fatigue limit state (FLS), which is a ULS condition accounting for accumulated cyclic load effects: Ratcheting, global buckling and walking. [4] Accidental limit state (ALS) is a condition that, if exceeded, implies loss of structural integrity caused by accidental load: Accumulated plastic strain, strain concentration, accidental loads.

Page 37: EX C H A N G E Risk

PART VII: SEISMIC ANALYSIS & DESIGN ISSUES FOR PIPELINES

Buried pipelines conform to the motions of the surrounding soil so that the seismically-induced dynamic strains can be directly imposed of the continuous beam element modeling the pipeline. This is Newmark’s assumption dating 1959, and is basically a quasi-static approach as it ignores inertia effects.

Above-ground pipelines experience seismic motion at their support elements with the ground. Due to the large extent of the pipeline, seismic motion is not the same at all supports, which is the case of non-uniform ground motion.

This phenomenon may also due to the material inhomogeneity, namely spatially variable material properties (density and shear modulus), the presence of non-parallel layers, the presence of discontinuities such as geological cracks, cavities, solid inclusions, etc.

Page 38: EX C H A N G E Risk

The possibility for the soil to exhibit non-linear behavior in the presence of strong ground motions must be considered. Interface phenomena between soil and outer pipeline surface may lead to separation effects in the axial and transverse directions. Global and local pipeline instability effects may be manifested, especially for soft or liquefiable soil. The change of direction of the pipeline leads to stress concentration phenomena at the bends. The same phenomenon may be manifested as the pipeline crosses geological fault lines. The presence of weak links in the segmented pipeline which are inevitable because of the presence of welded connections.

Page 39: EX C H A N G E Risk

PART VIII: SEISMIC BASE ISOLATION ISSUES FOR PIPELINES Seismic isolation is a technology for reducing the effects of earthquake shaking on buildings, bridges and infrastructure (power plants, etc) in general. In general, the seismic isolation of pipelines is usually achieved with flexible piping joints made from high damping rubber, see figure below. The installation of seismic isolation devices on tanks can accomodate relative movements between the pipe-to-tank connections and pipe-to-ground anchors that are typically larger than the movements of the non-isolated systems. These movements usually exceed the natural flexibility of the pipeline and often causes local failure. The flexible joint systems can also be utilized to compensate for those movements to avoid overstressing of the pipe.

Non-linear interface elements for cyclic loading: (1) Bilinear mechanical model, two versions. (2) Trilinear mechanical model, two versions Analytical transient solutions, Newmark-beta numerical algorithms, energy methods. Shear behavior in 1D, effect of axial force. Calibration of the models is necessary from soil-pipeline experiments. Possible problems if experiments are not full-scale: scaling factors will require a much denser soil material, boundary conditions at the ends, energy radiation effects. Alternatively, one may use actual measurement data form operational pipelines, provided ground shaking takes place. The influence of the surrounding soil plays paramount importance in the presence of ground shaking, hence the need for detailed 3D soil-pipeline FEM models.

Page 43: EX C H A N G E Risk

X. CLOSURE

What we propose is to develop general numerical models for the transient analysis of pipelines due to seismic load, focusing on relative motion between pipeline and soil, between pipeline segments and introducing high damping rubber bearing (HDRB) joints at select joints of the pipeline so as to ameliorate differential motion and overstressing effects. Our numerical results will be of interest in the development of an experiment testing on the stress development at a full-scale pipeline joint due to displacement-controlled input. The possibility of field measurements should also be considered. There is much uncertainty in the performance of these buried lifelines, both epistemic and aleatory. Hence the need to introduce probabilistic measures, as is done for instance in the life insurance business.

Page 44: EX C H A N G E Risk

There has been much work on buried lifelines under naturally-induced hazards, but we are still a long way from comprehending and accounting for all possible problem parameters (if it is indeed possible). Most buried NG pipelines date from the 1940’s. In the US alone, there are more than 40,000 km of pipelines, much of it ageing and difficult even to for rudimentary SHM applications. As all infrastructure, so do NG networks have a useful life expectancy, and there must be provisions for replacement, much as is in the case for buildings. Design codes must remain relatively simple and minimalistic, and in the form of guidelines. It is impossible to codify all possible variations in a engineering problem as complex as buried lifelines. More advanced material can always be added in commentaries to the design codes. Resilience of NG pipeline networks is foremost a question of resources, namely how much effort and money is spent on the post-earthquake

recovery by the central and local governments. Managerial tools based on research are but one aspect of this effort. Partner AUTH will also be responsible for organizing an International Workshop within the framework of the 16th European Conference in Earthquake Engineering (16 ECEE) that will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece from 18-23 June 2018 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the June 20, 1978 earthquake.

NONLINEAR INTERFACE MECHANICAL MODELS FOR NATURAL GAS PIPELINES UNDER SEISMIC LOADS

Page 64: EX C H A N G E Risk

OUTLINE

High damping rubber bearing isolators are used for the seismic isolation of structures worldwide for well over thirty years. We present the adaptation of mechanical models currently available for the simulation of the compressive/shear response of these isolators for constructing interface elements between an NG pipeline and the surrounding soil as well as connection elements in the presence of ground motions induced by seismic events. Given the complex and possibly nonlinear behavior of the pipeline-soil interface, no model is able of capturing every single aspect of this dynamic response. Some issues and uncertainties involved in the characterization of this behavior are (1) Coupled bidirectional horizontal ground motion (2) Coupling of vertical and horizontal motions (3) Strength and stiffness degradation during loading cycles (4) Variation in the ground motion along the length of the pipeline (4) Variation in the critical buckling load capacity of the pipeline due to lateral displacements.

INTERFACE ISOLATION SYSTEM MODELLING ISSUES The best-known model for simulating the hysteretic behavior of structural components is the bilinear hysteretic model (BHM). There are two possible mechanical formulations that correspond to the same bilinear model from a mathematical viewpoint. The first one (BHM1) consists of a linear elastic spring connected inseries with a parallel system comprising a plastic slider and a linear elastic spring, while the second one (BHM2) comprises a linear elastic spring connected in parallel with an elastic-perfectly plastic system. However, the bilinear hysteretic model is unable to describe either softening or hardening effects, and has therefore been extended to a trilinear model. There are two trilinear hysteretic models (THM) that exhibit a total of three plastic phases. More specifically, the first model (THM1) exhibits one elastic phase, while the second (THM2) one exhibits two elastic phases according to the strain amplitude level that develops during loading. Additionally, the change of slope between the plastic phases in unloading does not occur at the same displacement level in the two models.

Page 67: EX C H A N G E Risk

Furthermore, in THM1 the dissipated energy per cycle, decreases in the case of hardening and increases in the case of softening, while in the THM2 the dissipated energy per cycle remains unchanged, as is the case with the bilinear models. All hysteretic models are solved analytically and calibrated against free vibration test results. Based on the THM1, a numerical time-stepping method is developed based on the original Newmark’s method for constant accelerations combined with Newton-Raphson iterations. This is a necessary step, because more generalized hysteretic models cannot in general be solved analytically. Finally, this numerical solution capability will allow for extension of the THM to bi-directional horizontal motion and to time-varying vertical loads, where only numerical solutions will be possible.

MECHANICAL MODELS FOR HDRB

Table 1: THM1 Formulation and Mechanical Parameters

MECHANICAL MODEL VALIDATION

The 3rd cycle of a set of cyclic shear tests on a commercial HDRB isolator saved from the Solarino building project (2006) were conducted at the University of Basilicata in Italy (2016) 10 years later and were used for the parameter identification of the BHM and THM. The geometrical characteristics of the tested HDRB isolator are given in Table 2. The cyclic shear tests were conducted under a compressive stress of 6 MPa and at a frequency of 0.5 Hz, for 10 different shear strain amplitudes varying from γ=0.05 - 2.00. In parallel, cyclic tests at different strain amplitudes (γ=1.20 and γ=2.00) and at variable frequencies (from 0.006 Hz to 0.83 Hz) were implemented to investigate the effect of rate-dependence of the bearings. The tests showed that the HRDB isolator can be assumed rate-independent in this frequency range.

The total number of parameters for the THM1 system is 33 and the identification error is rather small at e2=2.5%. The total number of parameters of the THM2 system is 30, and the identification error is e2=5.0%, twice that of the THM1 system.

DEVELOPMENT OF A NEWMARK ALGORITHM FOR HYSTERETIC MEDIA It is concluded that the well-known BHM are replaced by the more accurate THM models for describing the response of hysteretic material interfaces under cyclic loading. Next, a Newmark’ time-stepping method with the Newton-Raphson iterative technique is developed for the numerical solution of the more accurate THM1 model.

Newmark’s Method for an SDOF System representing a HDRB

Page 78: EX C H A N G E Risk
Page 79: EX C H A N G E Risk

(1) The stiffness that is used to guess the force for the candidate displacement will always be the largest stiffness in the system, namely the elastic stiffness (k0). Once the force is calculated with the use of the elastic stiffness, there is a need to check if this force is correct. (2) In order to check the force that develops, we need to define two limit (or bound) curves

Page 81: EX C H A N G E Risk

The equation of motion for the SDOF system representing a HDRB isolator is derived from the THM1 model. It is solved both analytically in closed form and numerically by the modified Newmark method. The equation of motion is

𝑚𝑚��𝑢(𝑡𝑡) + 𝑐𝑐��𝑢(𝑡𝑡) + 𝑓𝑓𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 + 𝑓𝑓𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝑇𝑇 = 𝑝𝑝(𝑡𝑡) and the ground excitation is a simple sinusoidal motion in the form

𝑝𝑝(𝑡𝑡) = −0.25𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 ∙ sin (2𝜋𝜋𝑓𝑓) where m is the mass, g=9.81 m/sec and the is f=0.41 Hz is vibration frequency The result agreement is extremely good. For instance, the maximum displacements registered for the base isolated structural system during the steady-state part of the response, which would be a design value, is 237 mm and 237.2 mm for the analytical and numerical solutions, respectively.

2 A member analysis: is concerned with the assembly and solution ofthe member differential equilibrium equations and boundaryconditions, from knowledge of;

1 The cross-section geometrical properties.2 The member material properties.3 Its length and support conditions.4 The applied load.

Non-linear GBT Analysis

In order to consider geometrical non-linearity it is necessary todetermine the total stiffness matrix which is the sum of elastic, initialdeformation and initial stress stiffness matrix.

K = Ke + Ku + Kσ (2)

Where:Ke is the global stiffness matrix that defines the stiffness of thestructure.Ku is the initial displacement matrix that accounts for the change instiffness that comes from the displacements.Kσ is the initial stress stiffness matrix that accounts for themembrane forces effect on the stiffness.
