The buckling of submarine pipelines may occur due to the action of axial soil frictional force caused by relative movement of soil and pipeline,which is induced by the thermal and internal pressure.The likelihood of occurrence of this buckling phenomenon is largely determined by soil resistance.A series of large-scale model tests were carried out to facilitate the establishment of substantial data base for a variety of burial pipeline relationships.Based on the test data,nonlinear soil spring can be adopted to simulate the soil behavior during the pipeline movement.For uplift resistance,an ideal elasticity plasticity model is recommended in the case of H/D (depth-to-diameter ratio)＞5 and an elasticity softened model is recommended in the case of H/D≤5.The soil resistance along the pipeline axial direction can be simulated by an ideal elasticity plasticity model.The numerical analyzing results show that the capacity of pipeline against thermal buckling decreases with its initial imperfection enlargement and increases with the burial depth enhancement.
