Investigation on the Effects of Ground Media on the Behaviour of Buried Pipes due to Blast Loads by Simulation

Abstract:

In this study, effects of ground media on buried pipes due to blast were observed. The material properties for ground media and pipes limited to linear, elastic, homogeneous and isotropic were used. Blast load parameters were determined using UFC (2008). Equation of motion was solved using time integration technique in ABAQUS. From the results, depth plays a prominent role in the response of underground pipes due to blast. Mitigation measures to reduce the impact of blast on buried pipes were suggested.
