In the paper, the response of buried p ipelines is analyzed bym eans of numerical smi ulation, considering thematerialnon linearity of p ipelines and soil, the geom etrical nonlinearity, and the interaction of p ipelines and soi.l The p ipe is d iscretized into 4node th in shell elem ents, 8node solid elements are meshed in the soil entity, and the nonlinear contact elem ent is created to consider the interaction between the p ipeline and the surrounding soil. The ground set tlement is ach ieved by load ing the linear d isplacements. M any factors influencing the damage are analyzedw ith an examp le. The parametric studies on the d istance of settlem ent have been conducted by employing the thin shell FEM m ethod, such as the settlem ent depth, the burying depth of pipe, diameter, d iametertoth ickness ratio and the material of soil and so on. F inally, an example is provided for buried pipelines subjected to the settlem ent. Som e conclusions are drawn, and the analysis method above w ill be a base research on the response analysis for buried p ipelines subjected to the settlement.
