Abstract: It is necessary to study the mechanic behavior of underground pipelines during the excavation of the foundation pit, because the excavation will inevitably endanger the nearby underground pipelines. Three factors include the depth of underground pipelines, the distance from the pipeline to the foundation pit and ground load are considered to conform comparative analysis, in order to study the variaty on the stress and deformation of the underground pipelines. The foundation surporting type and the soil layer distribution are also considered during the numerical simulation. The results show that the distance between pipeline and foundation has more influence on the underground pipelines than other two factors, the damage most likely occurred in the bottom right in the pipeline near the foundation pit.

Abstract: With increase of terrorist blast, it is becoming more important for buildings to resist the blast load than before. This paper focuses on analysis of loss influence on key members of frame structures subjected to blast loading. The performance of a 5 storey frame structure with damage was evaluated on the assumption that whose key columns and beams had been lost after blast. By comparing the deformation and the internal force of the original frame with the corresponding items of the incomplete one, the impact of the key columns or beams on the performances of the whole frame structure was discussed. Numerical results show that the loss of either the key columns or the key beams will endanger the whole structure. Especially, the deformation and the internal force of the members adjacent to the missing key column have obvious increases. Consequently, the loss of the key column exerts a more serious impact on the building than that of the key beam.
