Stability Analysis of the Scour Protection Structure for a Debarking Pipeline

Article Preview

Abstract:

The debarking location of a gas pipeline is at the area where typhoons take place frequently and the geotechnical condition of the slope is very complex. A sloping breakwater type structure is selected in this paper for the purpose of pipeline scour protection. Since part of the sloping foundation soil consists of silty clay whose strength is very low, the bearing capacity is checked with the base pressure induced by the breakwater. The stability of the foundation of the breakwater is analyzed with the method developed by Meyerhof. The scour protection structure is proved effective and stable.
