Three-dimensional FEM models concerned with the transient response and relevant strength analysis of buried structures due to blast explosions were proven extremely costly using conventional FEM codes. This is due to the required small time-step as well as the considerable extension of the problem domain that has to be chosen so long that no reflection is allowed from the artificial infinite soil boundaries before the maximum displacement (or Von Mises stress) amplitude of the structure is reached. In case of buried pipelines, the complexity increases because the length of the model should at least include the unknown wave length along the pipeline. To overcome this problem, a reduced model taking into consideration the decoupled incident P- SH- and SV-waves, has been developed. The new theory achieves a manageable conservative relationship between the strength of the buried pipeline and the allowable peak particle velocity. The proposed relationship is based on the criterion of either the hoop or Von-Mises stresses and it is given in terms of the allowable stress as a percentage of the Specified Minimum Yield Stress (SMYS) of the pipeline. An example is given for a buried high-pressured natural gas pipeline.
