Mechanical performance of buried pipe under traffic load-internal pressure coupling action: Experimental and numerical study.

ABSTRACT: With the accelerated progress of urbanization, there is an increasing occurrence of buried flexible water distribution pipelines subjected to high internal pressure and heavy loads. The probability of damage to these pipelines is magnified due to traffic load-internal pressure coupling action. Hence, investigating the mechanical performance of buried pipelines under such conditions is a topic of significant research importance. The pipe made of acrylate polymer blended with polyvinyl chloride resin for water supply (ABR pipe) is modified from PVC pipe, exhibiting high toughness, low temperature, and impact resistance. Experimental and numerical studies were conducted to investigate the mechanical performance of buried ABR pipe by applying traffic load, internal pressure, and a combined tra
