Design method for pipeline crossing slip fault
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas pipeline crossing, in particular to a design method for a pipeline crossing slip fault.
Background
Oil and natural gas have been increasingly demanded as strategic energy sources in the past decades. The buried pipeline as one of the lifeline projects is responsible for the main transportation task of oil and gas resources, and provides an important energy guarantee for the production construction, the economic development and the social stability of China. In the process of construction and operation of a long oil and gas transmission pipeline, the long oil and gas transmission pipeline is possibly damaged by various adverse geological conditions due to changes of natural environment, and serious threats are brought to the safe operation of the pipeline. Earthquake is a sudden natural disaster which has the greatest harm to society and human beings, and the earthquake disaster in China, which is taken as a national earthquake disaster with stronger earthquake activity in the world, is one of the most serious natural disasters in China. According to a large number of earthquake damage statistics, the damage of the pipeline mainly comes from two aspects: one aspect is pipe failure due to wave effects and the other aspect is pipe failure due to large deformations, whereas pipe failure through a fracture zone is a typical example of large deformation failure. When the long-distance buried pipeline crosses a fault, the buried pipeline deforms along with the deformation of a soil body due to large dislocation of the ground of the fault area, and the buried pipeline is subjected to the action of soil reaction force from the transverse direction and the axial direction of the pipeline. When the pipe is pulled, if the tensile strain exceeds a limit value, the pipe is damaged; buckling failure can occur when the pipe is compressed due to buckling of the shell. Theoretically, the method can reduce the threat of the earthquake to the pipeline by reducing the burial depth, improving the ductility of the pipe, changing the included angle between the fault plane and the pipe shaft, selecting the position of the pipeline crossing the fault, increasing the wall thickness of the pipeline, adjusting the positions of the anchoring point and the fixed pier and the like.
The underground pipeline is affected by adverse factors such as environmental load, corrosion, fatigue, material aging and the like, so that the shock resistance of the pipeline is seriously weakened. How to avoid the damage of the pipeline is a subject of research of engineering designers. For the buried pipeline crossing the fault, the following anti-seismic measures are mainly included:
1) when the pipeline is buried, the active fault zone is avoided as much as possible. If the existing active fault data or earthquake safety evaluation results are fully utilized, earthquake fortification is carried out, and meanwhile, the intersection angle of the pipeline and the fault is correctly selected, so that the pipeline is pulled when the fault moves, and the pipeline is prevented from being pressed. Because the prediction result of the fault trend has certain error compared with the actual situation, the earthquake-proof purpose can not be achieved by only selecting a proper intersection angle of the pipeline and the fault.
2) The pipeline should be buried as shallow as possible and preferably in loose or medium density non-sticky soil to reduce the binding force of the soil on the pipeline when fault motion occurs. Reducing the angle of friction at the interface between the pipe and the soil may increase the ability of the pipe to withstand fault displacements, for example by using an epoxy jacket around the pipe at the intersection with the fault. The loose sand is compacted under horizontal load, and during compaction, the friction angle increases, producing a maximum pipe force consistent with the case of higher density sand initially. It is advantageous to reduce the angle of friction between the pipe and the soil, but it is mainly embodied in the axial direction, while the lateral resistance of the soil to the pipe is not greatly changed.
3) The pipe with good shock resistance (high strength and good ductility) is used. The greater wall thickness is the most favorable factor affecting the tube reaction when the tube is under tension. In the case of compressed pipes, the smaller the diameter to wall thickness ratio, the more advantageous it is, so that in practice, thick-walled pipes with good ductility are preferably used. Thick-walled pipelines can greatly improve the seismic capacity of the pipeline, but the increase in thickness is limited, and the requirements may not be met for large dislocation.
4) The capability of the pipeline to adapt to faults is inversely proportional to the friction coefficient between the pipeline and the soil body and the volume weight of the backfill soil, and soil materials with low friction coefficient and low volume weight of the backfill soil are selected as the backfill soil as far as possible. Generally, the backfill soil of the pipeline passing through the active fault is preferably loose to medium-density and non-viscous soil.
5) The actual anchoring point, i.e. the anchor block, should be located as far away from the fault as possible, at least 1.5L from the fault on each sidee(Lt)—2.0Le(Lt). Wherein L iseIs the sliding length of the elastic part of the pipe, LtThe sliding length of the pipeline at one side of the fault. If the pipeline has enough sliding length, the allowable dislocation displacement is provided for the pipeline, and the pipeline can be prevented from being sheared due to the transverse dislocation of the fault. Increasing the non-anchored length may increase the tolerance of the pipeline to fault motion. However, it is usually only up to about the length from the faultAt 200 meters, the effect is achieved and the continued increase in length results in little additional capacity (both lateral and axial).
It follows that, under large fault dislocation, the above measures may not meet the requirements, i.e. there is no reliable and effective anti-seismic measure at present. With the development of society, the requirements for the functions of pipelines are higher and higher, and many important and dangerous long-distance pipelines (conveying media are toxic, harmful, inflammable and explosive) have higher requirements for the seismic performance of the pipelines, and the traditional seismic structure and seismic method are not necessarily effective due to the unpredictability of earthquake faults and the complexity of seismic reaction of the pipelines. When an earthquake occurs, soil load around the pipeline acts on the pipeline, and the pipeline still can generate complex displacement forms such as transverse displacement, longitudinal displacement, space displacement and the like, so that instability damage of the pipeline is caused.
In view of the vulnerability of buried pipelines under fault action and the great harm of damage to society, more reliable and effective measures are needed to improve and ensure the earthquake-proof safety of the cross-fault buried pipelines under fault dislocation. Since the 'norm' and 'guide rule' issued by China, the earthquake-proof design level of pipelines in China is improved, but a plurality of new research results are not included in the norm, for example, new research in the earthquake engineering world shows that when a fracture zone has sudden dislocation, if a surface soil layer has certain thickness, the fracture angle, the fracture direction and the displacement of a surface fracture surface are different from those of bedrock. This result shows that the site conditions not only affect the seismic response spectrum, but also affect the surface fracture and displacement amplitude, and similarly, for different active fault types (such as normal fault, slip fault, reverse fault, etc.), the method for seismic design of pipelines has great difference due to different surface fractures with soil layers of a certain thickness. For a long-distance pipeline to pass through a sliding fault area, a Newmark method and a kennedy method are more classical methods, and the Newmark method is still adopted in the specifications of the United states and China at present. However, the analysis result has a large error with the actual test condition, so that an effective pipeline seismic design method cannot be provided, the cost waste is easily caused, and a large amount of manpower and material resources are consumed.
