Analytical Investigation of Reverse Faulting Effects on Buried Steel Pipelines With New Method

During permanent ground displacements such as surface faults, damages on buried pipelines may occur. many examples of such damages occurred in the past earthquakes. many analytical methods have been proposed for analysing buried pipelines across the different types of faults such as normal and strike-slip ones up to now. in this paper, a new approach proposed by establishing analytical method to investigate the effect of reverse faults on buried pipelines. it is necessary to know some basic analytical methods due to the use of elastic beam theory and bending and buckling behaviour as well as the problem of analysing indeterminate beams under certain loadings.
