Examples on Seismic Design of Buried Continuous Pipelines

Example 1 – Calculation of operational strain in the pipeline.


Problem statement:
A buried pipeline is designed to carry natural gas at a pressure (P) of 7.5 MPa. The installation
temperature and operating temperature of the pipeline are 30°C and 60°C respectively. The pipe
is of API X-52 grade with outer diameter (D) of 0.6m and wall thickness (t) of 0.0064m.
Poisson’s ratio and coefficient of thermal expansion of the pipe material can be considered as 0.3
and 12×10-6 respectively.
Estimate
(a) the strain in a pipe due to internal pressure and temperature if it is a continuous pipeline,
and
(b) the joint displacement due to internal pressure and temperature if it is a segmented
pipeline ?

Solution: Pipe strain due to temperature change:

For API X-52 grade pipe: The longitudinal stress induced in the pipe
due to change in temperature will be
Yield stress of pipe material (Clause 3.8.1) :
