波折开孔板连接件基本力学性能试验

为了研究和开发钢与混凝土组合结构中的新型连接件,提出了一种新型连接件——波折开孔板连接件。进行了3个波折开孔板连接件推出试验和3个普通开孔板连接件推出试验,测试了这2种连接件的基本力学性能,对试验结果进行了比较和分析,得到了波折开孔板连接件的荷载-滑移关系,并拟合出在正常使用状态和极限承载力状态下的相对刚度表达式。试验结果表明：波折开孔板连接件具有优越的力学性能,其抗剪强度比普通开孔板连接件提高24%,其抗剪刚度比开孔板连接件也有较大提高,达到极限荷载时其延性为普通开孔板连接件的1.9倍。     

Modelling upheaval buckling in marine buried pipelines by coupling the shear stresses and soft soil stiffness

Buried marine pipelines employed in the Oil & Gas industry are subjected to pressure and temperature gradients, which cand produce local high compression loads leading to the onset of upheaval buckling failure. Upheaval buckling occurs when the localized stresses across the pipeline are high enough to induce constant deformation due to the low soil restriction in the upward direction. Therefore, models to predict upheaval buckling in buried marine pipes caused by high pressure and high temperature (HP/HT) and soil stiffness have been developed based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory (EBT). However, this theory does not consider stresses and strains due to shear stresses which can play an important role in upheaval buckling failure. Therefore, in this work an analytical model that takes into account Engesser-Timoshenko beam theory (TBT) and considers the shear effects on pipelines was developed to predict upheaval buckling in buried marine pipelines. Furthermore, equations that govern vertical buckling of buried pipelines considering a plastic soil with initial imperfection were considered. Analytical results were compared with finite element models of buried pipeline and other models reported in the literature, and it was observed that analytical results fall in the range of those reposted in the literature. It was also observed that the incorporation of shear stresses in buried marine pipelines has low effect on upheaval buckling onset and propagation, but the soil stiffness has a strong influence on upheaval failure in buried marine pipelines.
