Research on the Combined Load-Bearing Mechanism of Deeply Buried Pressure Pipelines Under High Internal Water Pressure by LIU Yijie, ZHANG Xuhui, HUANG Bensheng, YANG Fengjie, YUAN Mingdao, XU Yunqian

“…The mechanisms of load transfer and distribution within the pipeline's bearing system were elucidated, considering various influencing factors such as internal water pressure levels, interlayer gap between structural components, and the geological categories of the surrounding rock.MethodsThe bearing behavior of pressure pipes was simplified as a plane strain problem, and the stress and deformation fields were solved using the power series method of complex function theory. The core of this approach lied in determining the potential functions for the steel lining and surrounding rock layers, as well as the contact stresses between each structural layer. 1) Considering the presence of interlayer gap, the bearing process is divided into two stages: the free bearing stage and the joint bearing stage. …”
