Shaking Table Test on the Seismic Response of Buried Oil and Gas Pipelines under the Bidirectional Nonuniform Seismic Excitation by Jianbo Dai, Chengtao Hu, Li Wang, Guidi Zhang

“…The acceleration response of both the pipe and the soil under the nonuniform excitation is larger than that under the uniform excitation, and the differences are shown in the transverse and axial directions, the peak acceleration response of the soil body under the nonuniform excitation is about three times that of the transverse direction, and more peak points appear in the axial and transverse acceleration responses of the pipe under the nonuniform excitation as the loading level increases, the peak displacement response of the soil body increases gradually with the height, but the fluctuation range of the peak displacement of the soil body nearby the pipe is larger. …”
