- This work explores for the first time how the presence of bends may affect the response of buried pipelines against the significant geotechnical hazard of imposed permanent ground displacements. Although pipeline strength verification is typically performed assuming straight pipeline routes, this paper demonstrates that pipe strains developing at the bend may become critical for pipeline design. Furthermore, it introduces a simplified analytical methodology to estimate these strains in practical applications. The proposed methodology has been presented as an invited talk by the first Author. It was also utilised by the industry for the design of the major Trans-Adriatic Pipeline.
