Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of buried pipeline joint mechanical analysis, and particularly relates to a rigid pipeline joint peak shear force prediction method, system and storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a key infrastructure for fluid transportation, the long-term safe and stable operation of buried pipelines is of great importance. However, under the long-term action of complex loads, the pipeline connection (joint) is prone to excessive shear deformation, leading to sealing failure and further causing leakage or seepage problems. Such leakage not only causes resource waste and environmental pollution, but also exacerbates soil erosion and support loss due to the scouring effect of seepage water flow on the soil around the pipeline. Over time, the pipeline foundation structure will be damaged, which may induce joint disconnection, local stress increase, and even serious accidents such as overall rupture or collapse, posing a significant threat to public safety and the environment. Currently, research on the shear force of buried pipeline joints under complex loads mainly relies on model tests and finite element simulations, while accurate theoretical calculation methods are relatively scarce.
[0003] The existing patent application CN119670304A discloses a method for calculating the maximum shear force and rotation angle of an underground rigid pipeline joint under ground traffic loads, which solves the problem of local stress calculation for rigid joints. However, due to the limitations of static models and ideal boundary conditions, it cannot quantify the shear force evolution law caused by material degradation and load fluctuations during the service life of the joint, leading to blind setting of engineering safety margins.

[0057] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , the free vertical displacement of the pipe joint J2 under the action of the load when it is not connected is , which is obtained by using the following calculation formula:
[0058] .
[0059] As shown in Figure 4 , the constrained vertical displacement of the pipe joint J2 under the action of the load when it is connected due to the deformation coordination of adjacent pipe sections is , which is obtained by using the following calculation formula:
[0060] .
[0061] And the shear force generated at the pipe joint J2 under the action of the load is obtained by using the following calculation formula:
[0062] , wherein, is the vertical displacement of the rubber gasket at the pipe joint J2, and satisfies , and .
[0063] Finally, the two vertical displacements and generated at the pipe joint J2 under the action of the load are substituted into the shear force calculation formula to obtain the shear force generated at the pipe joint J2 under the action of the load, that is,
[0064] . Preferably, for a rigid gasket, .
[0065] Step 4, according to the formula in step 3, the peak shear force generated at the pipe joint J2 under the action of the ground surface load is obtained ;
[0066] Step 5, according to the formula in step 3, the shear force generated at the pipe joint J2 under the action of the soil pressure is obtained;
[0067] Step 6, the peak shear force at the pipe joint J2 under the action of the surface surcharge is obtained by algebraic superposition of the peak shear force at the pipe joint J2 under the action of the surface surcharge and the shear force at the pipe joint J2 under the action of the earth pressure.
[0068] Further, the surface surcharge is diffused through the soil to act on the pipe with the right end of the pipe P2 as the action boundary, i.e. the distance between the center of the load action and the right end of the pipe P2 is , which will result in a peak shear force at the pipe joint J2.

[0082] It can be seen that for the pipeline with uniform pipe segment length and uniform pipe base soil stiffness, the peak shear force generated at the pipeline joint J2 under the action of surcharge is related to the surface surcharge characteristic parameter and the pipeline geometric parameter.

[0093] ,
[0094] wherein, R G is a gasket stiffness influencing factor.
[0095] Further, based on the linear superposition principle, the peak shear force at the pipe joint J2 under the action of the surface surcharge alone is algebraically superimposed with the shear force at the joint under the action of the earth pressure alone, so as to determine the peak shear force under the combined action of the two.
[0096] Further, in order to better illustrate the above calculation process, the following is obtained by acquiring the pipe geometric parameters, surface surcharge characteristic parameters, soil mechanical parameters and other related parameters according to the actual working conditions as shown in Table 1:
[0097] where OD is the outer diameter of the pipe, L is the length of the pipe, is the pipe base soil stiffness, P L is the surcharge value, L0 is the surcharge distribution length, W0 is the surcharge distribution width, LLDF is the surcharge distribution coefficient, is the unit weight of the soil, is the dimensionless earth pressure coefficient, VAF is the dimensionless vertical arch coefficient, H c is the overburden depth;
[0098] The dimensionless proportion w of the total force acting on the pipe is calculated as:
[0099] ;
[0100] .
[0101] and as shown in Figure 5 , the surcharge is diffused through the soil to act on the pipe with the right end of the pipe P2 as the boundary. The load at this special position will cause the peak shear force at the pipe joint J2. The total force acting on the pipes P2 and P3 is , , and the eccentricity of the forces acting on the pipes P2 and P3 is , ;

[0105] ;
[0106] ;
[0107] Substitute , , ,
[0108] .
[0109] and as shown in Figure 6 , the earth pressure acting on the pipe can be equivalent to a uniform load, so the eccentricity e2, e3 of the pipe P2, P3 is 0;
[0110] The total force acting on the pipe P2, P3 is calculated as follows:
[0111] ;
[0112] ;
[0113] The calculation formula is as follows:
