dc.description.abstractPromoting tensile failure by providing a proper orientation angle between the pipe axis and the fault line is the main seismic design philosophy for buried steel pipelines. However, most of the severe damage and failures experienced by pipelines are mainly due to negative crossing angle and thus compressive loads acting along the pipeline. This paper investigates different earthquake damage mitigation methods such as Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) wrapped pipes, Steel Pipes for Fault Crossing (SPF), and corrugated pipes for buried steel pipelines which are mainly subjected to compressive loads. Therefore, the Thames water transmission pipeline, which is a well-known case study, that suffered major and minor damage due to compressive forces in the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake, is considered to simulate and compare the earthquake damage mitigation capabilities of these countermeasures. The numerical studies are performed by using a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model. The results show that the use of CFRP composites in buried pipelines, regardless of their thickness, wrapping length, or layer orientation, does not have the expected damage reduction effect, but does increase the effective length between major wrinkles or change the type of pipe failure. On the other hand, SPFs and corrugated pipes are more effective in earthquake damage reduction due to their high axial and rotational capabilities.
