Résumé :
|
This paper presents results from physical model testing of lateral clay-pipe interaction. The main reason for this research was the accident in Rio de Janeiro in January 2000 when more than 1×106 l of crude oil was spilled into Guanabara Bay due to thermal buckling of a pipeline. A set of centrifuge tests was performed for a model pipeline at shallow burial depths in order to assess the lateral resistance of the soft clay from the incident site. In addition, a set of 1-g model tests was also performed to observe the failure mechanism in more detail. These tests permitted the development of an analytical model, based on geotechnical and geometrical parameters, able to evaluate the soil resistance when subjected to lateral pipe movements for shallow burial depths. The centrifuge data are then compared with the proposed analytical model and with literature data, revealing good agreement in both cases.
