Introduction
Buried pipelines are often subjected to damage by earthquakes. It is therefore necessary to take earthquake
resistance into consideration, where applicable, in the design of the pipelines. In reclaimed ground and other
areas where ground subsidence is expected, the pipeline design must also take the subsidence into
consideration.
Even though ductile iron pipelines are generally considered to be earthquake-resistant, since their joints are
flexible and expand/contract according to the seismic motion to minimize the stress on the pipe body,
nevertheless there have been reports of the joints becoming disconnected by either a large quake motion or
major ground deformation such as liquefaction.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16134:2006(E)

Earthquake- and subsidence-resistant design of ductile iron
pipelines
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the design of earthquake- and subsidence-resistant ductile iron pipelines
suitable for use in areas where seismic activity and land subsidence can be expected. It provides a means of
determining and checking the resistance of buried pipelines and also gives example calculations. It is
applicable to ductile iron pipes and fittings with joints that have expansion/contraction and deflection
capabilities, used in pipelines buried underground.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
burying
placing of pipes underground in a condition where they touch the soil directly
2.2
response displacement method
earthquake-resistant calculation method in which the underground pipeline structure is affected by the ground
displacement in its axial direction during an earthquake
2.3
liquefaction
phenomenon in which sandy ground rapidly loses its strength and rigidity due to repeated stress during an
earthquake, and where the whole ground behaves just like a liquid
2.4
earthquake-resistant joint
joint having slip-out resistance as well as expansion/contraction and deflection capabilities
3 Earthquake-resistant design
3.1 Seismic hazards to buried pipelines
In general, there are several main causes of seismic hazards to buried pipelines:
a) ground displacement and ground strain caused by seismic ground shaking;
b) ground deformation such as a ground surface crack, ground subsidence and lateral spread induced by
liquefaction;
c) relative displacement at the connecting part with the structure, etc.;
d) ground displacement and rupture along a fault zone.
Since ductile iron pipe has high tensile strength as well as the capacity for expansion/contraction and
deflection from its joint part, giving it the ability to follow the ground movement during the earthquake, the

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 16134:2006(E)
stress generated on the pipe body is relatively small. Few ruptures of pipe body have occurred during
earthquakes in the past. It is therefore important to consider whether the pipeline can follow the ground
displacement and ground strain without slipping out of joint when considering its earthquake resistance. The
internal hydrodynamic surge pressures induced by seismic shaking are normally small enough not to be
considered.
3.2 Qualitative design considerations
3.2.1 General
To increase the resistance of ductile iron pipelines to seismic hazards, the following qualitative design
measures should be taken into consideration.
a) Provide pipelines with expansion/contraction and deflection capability.
EXAMPLE Use of shorter pipe segments, special joints or sleeves and anti-slip-out mechanisms according to
the anticipated intensity or nature of the earthquake.
b) Lay pipelines in a firm foundation.
c) Use smooth back fill materials.
NOTE Polyethylene sleeves and special coating are also effective in special cases.
d) Install more valves.
3.2.2 Where high earthquake resistance is needed
It is desirable to enhance the earthquake resistance of parts connecting the pipelines to structures and when
burying the pipes in
a) soft ground such as alluvium,
b) reclaimed ground,
c) filled ground,
d) suddenly changing soil types (geology) or topography,
e) sloping ground,
f) near revetments,
g) liquefied ground, and/or
h) near an active fault.
3.3 Design procedure
To ensure earthquake-resistant design for ductile iron pipelines:
a) select the piping route;
b) investigate the potential for earthquakes and ground movement;
c) assume probable earthquake motion (seismic intensity);
d) undertake earthquake-resistant calculation and safety checking;
e) select joints.
Solid/firm foundations should be chosen for the pipeline route.
When investigating earthquakes and ground conditions, take into account any previous earthquakes in the
area where the pipeline is to be laid.

3.4 Earthquake resistance calculations and safety checking
When checking the resistance of pipelines to the effects of earthquakes, the calculation shall be carried out for
the condition in which the normal load (dead load and normal live load) is combined with the influence of the
earthquake.
The pipe body stress, expansion/contraction value of joint, and deflection angle of joint are calculated by the
response displacement method. Earthquake resistance is checked by comparing these values with their
respective allowable values. The basic criteria are given in Table 1.
A flowchart of earthquake resistance determination and safety checking is shown in Figure 1. The basic
equations only for earthquake resistance calculation are given in 3.5. A detailed example of calculation is
given in Annex A.

between the several kinds of seismic intensity scales and the acceleration of ground surface, as given in
Annex B.

where
θ is the joint deflection angle, in radians (rad);
l is the pipe length, in metres (m);
U is the horizontal displacement amplitude of ground x m deep from the ground surface, in metres (m);
h
L is the wavelength, in metres (m).
The above calculations, such as the amount of expansion/contraction of joint by the response displacement
method, are based on the assumption that the ground will deform uniformly. However, since strain can be
concentrated locally during an earthquake (due to the heterogeneity of the ground) and there is a possibility
that the value can be greater than the calculation result, a certain value of safety margin — for instance, twice
as much — is recommended.
4 Design for ground deformation by earthquake
4.1 General
Large-scale ground deformation such as ground cracks, ground subsidence and lateral displacement near
revetments and inclined ground can be generated by liquefaction during an earthquake. Since such ground
deformations can affect the buried pipeline, it is necessary to consider this possibility and to take it into
account in the pipeline design.
4.2 Evaluation of possibility of liquefaction
The possibility of liquefaction shall be evaluated for soil layers when the following conditions are present:
a) saturated soil layer u 25 m from the ground surface;
b) average grain diameter, D , u 10 mm;
50
c) content by weight of small grain particles (with grain diameter u 0,075 mm) u 30 %.
The possibility of liquefaction can be evaluated by calculating the liquefaction resistance coefficient, F , using
L
Equation (7):
F = RL (7)
L
where
R is the dynamic shear strength ratio indicating the resistance to liquefaction;
L is the ground shear stress ratio during an earthquake, which indicates the generated shear stress in
ground due to the earthquake.
When F< 1,0, the layer is considered to be liquefied.
L
A detailed example of the evaluation of liquefaction assessment is given in Annex C.

4.3 Checking basic resistance
For ground deformation such as lateral displacement and ground subsidence induced by liquefaction, the
basic resistance of the pipeline shall be checked by observing whether it can absorb the ground movement by
the expansion/contraction and deflection of joints.
A detailed example of safety checking is given in Annex D.
5 Design for ground subsidence in soft ground (e.g. reclaimed ground)
5.1 Calculating ground subsidence
When burying pipes in soft ground, the amount of ground subsidence is estimated by calculating the
increased earth pressure at the bottom of the trench in considering the weight of pipes, the weight of water in
the pipes and the earth pressure of back-fill, using Equations (8), (9) and (10):

σ
I is the influence by depth value;
σ
2
∆W is the increased load, in newtons per square metre (N/m ).
A detailed example of calculation of the amount of ground subsidence is shown in Annex E.
5.2 Basic safety checking
For ground subsidence in soft ground such as reclaimed ground, safety shall be checked by observing if the
pipeline can absorb the ground movement by expansion/contraction and deflection of the joints. This way of
safety checking is the same as for the ground deformation in the pipe perpendicular direction induced by
liquefaction, which is given in Annex D.

6.2 Earthquake-resistant joints
In cases where pipelines are to be laid in locations where ground deformation could be induced by liquefaction
during an earthquake, and where ground subsidence is anticipated in soft soil such as reclaimed ground, a
pipeline having earthquake-resistant joints with slip-out resistance, as well as an expansion/contraction and
deflection capability, should be used.
