Definitions
- the present invention relates to a buckled corrugated steel pipe.
- a fault is a phenomenon that occurs in a hard ground, where a crack (fault surface) is formed in the formation or rock, and both sides are shifted from each other along the fault surface.
- the deviation (displacement) on the fault plane reaches several m on average.
- Folding is a phenomenon in which a stratum that was horizontal at the time of deposition bends in a wavy shape due to crustal deformation. A fold is gently bent over a wide range. For this reason, when a steel pipe is buried in a soft ground, if a crustal movement occurs, the steel pipe undergoes axial compression deformation over a wide range.
- a phenomenon called flexure occurs in the ground where the soft ground is superimposed on the hard ground. Bending is a phenomenon in which a fault occurs in the lower hard ground and the upper soft ground bends. However, it is very difficult to predict the fault plane because it may stay on a hard ground or may reach a soft ground. For this reason, when embedding steel pipes in the ground where bending occurs, measures are taken to avoid breakage and cracking due to both local bending compression deformation due to fault motion and axial compression deformation over a wide range due to bending. is required.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above, and avoids the occurrence of breakage and cracking due to both local bending compression deformation due to fault motion and axial compression deformation over a wide range due to bending.
- the purpose is to propose a buckled corrugated steel pipe.
- r is the pipe thickness center radius of the steel pipe straight pipe part
- T is the pipe thickness of the steel pipe straight pipe part.
- the buckled corrugated portions are arranged with an interval in the axial direction of the buckled corrugated steel pipe.
- the buckling corrugated portion is subjected to axial compression deformation or bending compression deformation to cause buckling deformation.
- the buckled corrugated portion is disposed at a predetermined distance with a tomographic plane interposed therebetween.
- the buckled corrugated steel pipe according to the present invention it is possible to avoid the occurrence of breakage and cracking due to both local bending compression deformation due to fault motion and axial compression deformation over a wide range due to bending.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining a phenomenon occurring in the ground.
- Drawing 2 is a schematic diagram explaining the ground which arranges the buckling corrugated steel pipe concerning an embodiment and produces bending.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining deformation of the steel pipe when bending occurs in the ground on which the buckled corrugated steel pipe according to the embodiment is disposed.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining deformation of the steel pipe when a fault is generated in the ground on which the buckled corrugated steel pipe according to the embodiment is disposed.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining the deformation of the steel pipe when bending occurs in the ground on which the buckled corrugated steel pipe according to the embodiment is disposed.

- the portion where bending compression deformation has occurred is called a plastic hinge.
- This bending compression deformation is local and the displacement reaches several m on average. For example, when the fault displacement is 3 m in the vertical direction and 1.5 m in the horizontal direction, the axial compression deformation over a wide range due to the bending causes a gentle bending over 200 m in the axial direction.
- the buckled corrugated steel pipe 1 is made of, for example, mild steel (carbon steel having a carbon content of 0.13 to 0.20%) including SS400. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the buckling corrugated steel pipe 1 is formed by repeating a steel pipe straight pipe portion 2 and a buckling corrugated portion 3 in the axial direction.

- the buckling waveform portion 3 is formed in a shape approximating compression local buckling occurring in a steel pipe.
- the crustal movement occurs, the buckling corrugated portion 3 is deformed, so that the buckling corrugated steel pipe 1 absorbs the displacement.

- It is a shape represented by a sine wave determined based on a peak height h represented by 8.00 to 16.25 times the tube thickness T.
- r (D 0 ⁇ T) / 2.

- the curve with the vertical axis as the reaction force in the axial compression direction and the horizontal axis as the axial displacement reaches the maximum value of the reaction force in the axial compression direction and then changes with a gentle gradient as the optimum shape. .
- peak height h is, the crest height h as variables, based on the relationship between reaction force and the axial displacement of the axial compression direction obtained by performing the FEM analysis without changing a seat ⁇ length L n and the pipe thickness T
- the curve with the vertical axis as the reaction force in the axial compression direction and the horizontal axis as the axial displacement reaches the maximum value of the reaction force in the axial compression direction and then changes with a gentle gradient as the optimum shape.
- the tube thickness T is based on the relationship between the axial displacement and the reaction force in the axial compression direction obtained by performing the FEM analysis without changing the buckling wavelength L n and the peak height h with the tube thickness T as a variable.
- the curve with the vertical axis as the reaction force in the axial compression direction and the horizontal axis as the axial displacement reaches the maximum value of the reaction force in the axial compression direction and then changes with a gentle gradient as the optimum shape.
- the vertical axis is the reaction force in the axial compression direction
- the horizontal axis is the axial displacement. Is selected as an optimum material that has a gentle gradient after reaching the maximum reaction force in the axial compression direction.
- the buckled corrugated steel pipe 1 having the buckling corrugated portion 3 having the outer diameter D 0 , the tube thickness T, the peak height h, and the buckling wavelength L n shown in Table 1 is disposed in the middle of the pipe, Buried in the ground.

- the optimal distance between the plastic hinges is calculated by performing FEM analysis in consideration of fault displacement and ground conditions at the time of designing when embedding the buckled corrugated steel pipe 1. More specifically, the distance between the plastic hinges is several times the outer diameter D 0 of the buckled corrugated steel pipe 1.
