Coupled Nonlinear Finite-Element Analysis of Soil–Steel Pipe Structure Interaction
AbstractNumerical simulation of staged-construction modeling of large-diameter steel pressure pipes is accompanied by several complexities. Finite-element (FE) analysis was performed to simulate the behavior of buried steel pipes during staged-construction installation. The model deflections during the staged-construction process were verified with four different experimental soil box test results. The FE model and its associated analysis algorithm considered large deformation using total Lagrangian formulation. The material and contact nonlinear algorithms were also included in the analysis for both soil and steel pipe materials. The contact between each soil layer and soil-to-pipe was carefully implemented. Uniform thermal loading was applied to simulate the stresses induced by compaction forces on the pipe and trench walls. Finally, the vertical and lateral load-deformation plots obtained from the FE analysis results were compared with the full-scale experimental test results during the staged construction process and after the application of surcharge load. The results of FE analysis are shown to accurately model and simulate the test results.
