The intensification in the exploration of gas and oil in deep waters promotes advances in new technologies to estimate the behavior of pipelines. One of the complex problems in the offshore industry is being able to simulate the soil-pipeline interaction associated with large soil deformations. Centrifugal modeling techniques allow an appropriate simulation of the pipeline operation process using small-scale models in the laboratory. This work presents an analysis of the soil-pipeline interaction problem at the Touchdown point based on centrifugal modeling of the vertical performance of pipelines settled on the seabed for large amplitudes of cyclical movements and at different burial depths. Twenty-seven vertical performance tests were processed and evaluated for controlled displacement conditions, carried out in a mini-beam centrifuge of the geotechnical laboratory of the COPPE / UFRJ. A kaolin previously characterized in the laboratory was used for the elaboration of two soil resistance profiles that present values consistent with those obtained in situ. Analyzes comprise three phases: consolidation, initial penetration of the pipeline and vertical action. During the consolidation phases, settlement and pore pressure were monitored and compared with the Asaoka method (1978). The risers were simulated by two pipes with diameters of 0,3 and 0,5 m (prototype). In the actuation phase, the force and displacement records were obtained from the instrumentation in the pipeline. The evaluation allowed knowing the behavior of vertical interaction from the compression and extraction force curves in a cyclic interaction. The results obtained experimentally in the different phases were consistent with data from the literature. In addition, a semi-empirical model was developed based on the studies by Einav & Randolph (2005) and Yafrate & DeJong (2007) to satisfactorily evaluate the vertical force in relation to vertical displacement in soil conditions in intact and remolded state from the T-bar test carried out in situ. This implementation is important in the offshore industry to be able to estimate the soil parameters in the vertical soil-pipeline interaction that are useful in the engineering project.
