Pipe Soil Interaction refers to how buried pipelines and surrounding soil respond to loads and dynamic events, crucial for assessing the stability of pipelines used for water, gas, and oil distribution. This tutorial package includes six workshops that use Abaqus to simulate various soil-pipe scenarios. The tutorials cover the long-term load capacity of pipe piles under axial loads, and multiple simulations of coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) explosions near or inside steel pipelines buried in soil. These simulations employ advanced material models like the Johnson-Cook plasticity for steel and Mohr-Coulomb plasticity for soil, along with the JWL equation for TNT explosions.

Workshops focus on both external and internal explosions, exploring how blast waves affect pipeline integrity and soil deformation. The tutorials emphasize critical aspects like stress, strain, and damage mechanics, offering detailed insights into pipeline behavior under extreme conditions. These simulations help engineers analyze blast loads and optimize the design of buried structures to withstand destructive forces.
