Thawing permafrost has affected the structural integrity of buried warm pipelines in cold regions and poses an ongoing threat context climate change. Therefore, characterizing variation engineering properties pipeline foundation its effect on mechanical behavior is important. In this paper, ground temperature distributions around a response to differential thaw settlement are investigated using...

Semi-buried structures are most commonly used at first line of defense along the border between two countries. This demands investigation of their dynamic behaviour under blast loading. Herein, a semi-buried structure with foam sandwiched walls and buttresses to reduce the effect of blast is analysed. The effect of provision of different configurations of buttresses and foam core between two la...

offshore pipelines used for oil and gas transportation are often buried to avoid damage from fishing activities and to provide thermal insulation. thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline during operation can lead to lateral or upheaval buckling. a safe buried pipeline design must take into account a reliable evaluation of soil uplift resistance and pipe embedment depth. while the cost...
