New closed-form expressions are introduced for ax-symmetric progressive axial collapse of pipes that use a plastic folding mechanism based on variable length of an active plastic hinge zone. A procedure for determination of a load—displacement curve of axial pipe collapse is presented. Theoretical predictions give a good agreement with the experimental results owing to the influence of presented new refinements.
