Building up the 3D numerical analysis and computing model, force properties of buried pipelines under vibration loads induced by bridge pile foundation construction were researched, to evaluate and control the influence of construction vibration on adjacent buried pipeline. It was concluded that the most adverse position of impact loads effect on pipeline appeared in the upper right and lower left parts of the pipeline closed to the side away from the pile hole about a quarter of an arc. And the peritubular stress distribution curve with the change of the vibration source location were approximately sinusoidal line, parabola and the cosine line changes. Another, under the same conditions, the vibration velocity of ground above the pipeline was significantly greater than the pipeline itself vibration velocity, so through a reasonable assessing and controlling the vibration velocity of ground above the pipeline, it could be made security decisions for buried pipelines. Finally, according to the horizontal spacing of the buried pipeline and shock vibration source, the pipeline grading protection measures were proposed, with achieving better results in engineering application. Research results could provide some evidence both for the force calculation and design construction of the pipeline project, and support for scientific decision-making of the bridge pile foundation construction. It has an important social and economic efficiency.

Impact loads caused by punching pile construction of highway bridges are bound to disturb stratum surrounding the buried pipeline adjacent to, which would adversely affect the normal use and safe operation of buried pipelines. Through developing field micro-seismic trial, the characteristics of vibration attenuation and sphere of influence were analyzed, in order to assess its impact on buried pipeline nearby. It drew conclusions that the amplitude of vibration energy had been enlarged with the presence of the pipeline; It should conduct the surface peak velocity above the pipeline as the main control index in routine vibration monitoring of pile foundation construction adjacent to buried pipeline; by positioning analysis of impacting vibration source, the rupture area of rock and soil around the pipeline caused by the vibration was determined, and security measures for pipeline protection was proposed. It provides a new method of control technology for pile foundation construction.

By use of the microseismic monitoring system, the dynamic response of punched pile construction of bridge pile foundation is studied and discussed for the first time. Wave data of loads acting on the construction is group-collected by means of the microseismic experiment on site. Then the waveform, vibration frequency and energy of testing data are analyzed. On the basis of the results, the weaken rules of vibration acceleration and energy are studied, and the effect of impact energy on the vibration velocity is analyzed. It shows that impact energy attenuates exponentially with the distance from the epicentre. The conclusion establishes the theoretical basis for studying the vibrant characteristic of punched pile construction, and provides valuable reference for engineering practice to take effective measures to reduce construction vibration.

Impact drill holes into the pile construction technology is widely used in pile foundation construction job, construction vibrating pile thus to bring the impact of the increasingly prominent on the surrounding environment, the impact of this article on the construction site of a pile of drilled hole pile construction vibration effects on the surrounding environment experiment monitored by the monitoring data analysis found that the peak acceleration increases with distance attenuation occurs quickly, on the basis of analysis of pile foundation construction vibration velocity, frequency, and duration of the impact on the surrounding buildings, it is found that the frequency of vibration velocity with less impact on the housing, the duration of the construction will have an impact. Finally, analysis of the impact acceleration caused by the building structure from the perspective of seismic intensity, vibration intensity was found equivalent vi degree seismic intensity of little effect on the surrounding structures. Furthermore, the greatest impact of vibration on the residential buildings, by the way of excavating vibration attenuation ditch to control effect of vibration is proposed.

Abstract API RP 1102 provides a method to calculate stresses in buried pipelines due to surface loads resulting from the encroachment of roads and railroads. The API RP 1102 approach is commonly used in the industry, and widely available software allows for quick and easy implementation. However, the approach has several limitations on when it can be used, one of which is that it is limited to pipelines crossing as near to 90° (perpendicular crossing) as practicable. In no case can the crossing be less than 30° . In this paper, the stresses in the buried pipeline under standard highway vehicular loading calculated using the API RP 1102 method are compared with the results of two other methods; an analytical method that accounts for longitudinal and circumferential through wall bending effects, and the finite element method. The benefit of the alternate analytical method is that it is not subject to the limitations of API RP 1102 on crossing alignment or depth. However, this method is still subject to the limitation that the pipeline is straight and at a uniform depth. The fact that it is analytical in nature allows for rapid assessment of a number of pipes and load configurations. The finite element analysis using a 3D soil box approach offers the greatest flexibility in that pipes with bends or appurtenances can be assessed. However, this approach is time consuming and difficult to apply to multiple loading scenarios. Pipeline crossings between 0° (parallel) and 90° (perpendicular) are evaluated in the assessment reported here, even though these are beyond the scope of API RP 1102. A comparison across the three methods will provide a means to evaluate the level of conservatism, if any, in the API RP 1102 calculation for crossing between 30° and 90° . It also provides a rationale to evaluate whether the API RP 1102 calculation can potentially be extended for 0° (parallel) crossings.
