Abstract

Soil as a major component in seismic action studies need to be evaluated to help in the design of pipes. This is because seismic action has to do with loading wave velocity. In other words one of or more of the soil will resist seismic action more than the other. The aim of this research is to use the finite element method to simulate subterranean blast stresses on empty pipes in undrained clay and ascertain how they would react. The various responses are the outcome of external effort and forces. For the sake of this inquiry, soil and pipe were considered. The geotechnical and material properties were utilized. The numerical code was used to analyze the subterranean pipes to an underground seismic action by the application of the temporal integration technique. External work and energy were found to be in subterranean pipes at different depth ratios in undrained clay. The results of the investigation presented in the form of wave not numerical results show that undrained clay presents a problem since the pipes buried in it show the least reduction in the parameters that have been reported. Thus, as a mitigating measure, remedial measures could be adopted. The findings will broaden the corpus of existing knowledge in academics on a national and international scale. Lastly, while building subsurface pipes, undrained clay soil must be taken into account.
