Abstract

In this study, the deformation and leakage of pressure steel pipe in a hydropower station were investigated and analyzed. Through calculation and theoretical analysis, it is concluded that due to the failure of the external drainage system, when the internal water extravasation, the external water pressure can not be eliminated in time, resulting in excessive water pressure and deformation of the external steel pipe. As a thin-shell structure, the pressure steel pipe is prone to buckling and instability when subjected to external pressure, and bulging or pipe wall compression often occurs. Stability against external pressure has become an important factor affecting the safety and stability of pressure steel pipes. Therefore, even under normal working conditions, steel pipe without the stiffening ring can meet the external pressure stability, and the design can also consider setting the stiffening ring, because the stiffening ring has a strong ability to resist external pressure.
