ABSTRACT: The performance of buried pipelines in areas subject to permanent ground displacements is an important engineering consideration to the local gas utility companproperty safety. This paper presents the by FortisBC Inc., as the local gas suppliermovement in West Quesnel area. Pipecorrelating the measured ground movements and its variations over time to the condition of the buried pipechallenges in conducting pipe-soil interaction analysis for a large geographical area and complex pipe network discussed. Also discussed are the recent developments in estimating the pipe strain in pipe networks and limitations of these methods.
RÉSUMÉ: La performance des canalisations enterrées dans les zones soumises à des déplacements terrestres permanentes est une considération importante de l'ingénierie pour les entreprises de distribution de gaz locales, depuis l'échec de ces systèmes pose un risque énorme pour la sécurité publique et deprogramme de catastrophes naturelles et de gestion des risques mis en place par FortisBC Inc., en tant que fournisseur de gaz local pour atténuer le risque de bris des conduites déclenché à partir d'un mouvement de masse lente en cours dans la région de l'Ouest Quesnel. L’aun moyen de corréler les mouvements du sol mesurées et senterrée. Les défis en matière d'analyse de l'interaction conduitesconduites complexes sont discutées. déformations de la conduite dans les réseaux de distribution de gaz de petit diamètre et les limites de ces méthodes
