Applications of the Response Displacement Method to the Seismic Analysis for Buried Corrosion Pipeline

As time passes, the buried pipeline, under the influence of transport medium, soil and loading environment, especially metal pipelines are prone to corrosion phenomenon. This paper studies the buried pipeline as the object of the research, explores the impact of pipeline corrosion depth, corrosion width and corrosion location on the seismic performance of the pipeline. The purpose is to provide a theoretical reference for the safety and practicability of pipelines and provide guidance for continual use, maintenance or replacement and safe usage of pipelines. This paper presents the actual project as the background, and analyzes buried pipeline response based on different parameters by using the seismic response displacement method in the finite element software ANSYS.
