Analysis of the Interaction of Main Pipelines with the Earth Basement in the Evaluation of Their Stability

We consider the main concepts of evaluation of the general stability of underground pipelines according to the currently existing norms of Russian Federation. We analyze the main dependences that describe the interaction of pipes with soils in the transverse and longitudinal directions and are used in the software complexes intended for the design of main pipelines. The proposed solutions make it possible to substantially increase the accuracy of checking the total stability of underground pipelines in the longitudinal direction.
