• Full-field experiment for blast-induced ground vibration of gas transmission pipeline was performed. • Dynamic mechanism relating to blast-induced PPVs, GVAs, frequency response, and displacement were analyzed. • Failure mechanism was revealed for gas transmission pipeline and its integrated systems. • Data-supporting modified equations of blast-vibration characteristics improved performance of prediction. • Damage recognition and safety design reference for anti-blasting ground vibration in gas transport system. Natural gas pipeline network is a highly integrated network that moves natural gas throughout the continental and global services. Pipelines play a major role for the onshore and offshore gas transport, maintaining the record levels built up in recent years. However, once a rupture appears on a pipeline, the consequences of blast-induced incidents can pose a deadly threat in the vicinity of the failure location. Blast-induced ground vibration is the most significant impact that can seriously affect the surrounding parallel pipelines. In the present study, an experiment combined with a numerical investigation on the effect of blast-induced ground vibration of gas pipeline was undertaken. Dynamic characteristics such as peak vibration velocity, ground vibration acceleration, frequency response of blast-induced ground vibration were analyzed. Further, the modified prediction equations for blast-induced ground vibrational characteristics with distance were proposed. Ultimately, blast-induced displacement with the parallel pipeline was simulated, with a focus on risk vulnerability of gas pipeline. The main purpose of this paper is to facilitate a better understanding of the mechanical systems and dynamic characteristics governing the blast-induced ground vibration when the gas pipeline bursts, which is expected to be reliable for the safety spacing of buried integrated pipeline systems.
