The invention relates to an outer cylinder prestress reinforced
composite material pipe and a design method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of fluid conveying pressure pipelines. The pipeline comprises an outer cylinder, a middle
steel cylinder and a concrete inner cylinder, the
pipe diameter is 1600-5000 mm, the outer cylinder is composed of a
composite material formed by mixing multiple
layers of annularly-wound glass fibers and
epoxy resin and is prestressed, the glass fibers account for 50%-70% of the volume of the outer cylinder, the equivalent
elastic modulus, the Poisson's ratio and the tensile strength are calculated, mechanical analysis of the
composite material is simplified, and the tensile strength of the composite material is improved. The middle
steel cylinder is configured as a supporting layer, and the concrete inner cylinder is configured as a pressure-resistant and fluid channel. Based on the thick-wall cylinder theory, the prestress of the outer cylinder enables the concrete inner cylinder to be pressed in advance, the
internal pressure tensile stress is counteracted, and the
cracking risk is reduced. Under regulation and control of prestress, the outer cylinder bears main circumferential tension, tension of the middle
steel cylinder is reduced, and cooperative bearing is achieved. The composite
pipe has high strength, light weight and
corrosion resistance, the problems that a traditional pipe is prone to
cracking, high in steel consumption and short in service life are solved, and safety, durability and economical efficiency are remarkably improved.
