With the combination of model experiment and numerical simulation, we explore the effect of collapse height, weight, and pipe-soil stiffness ratio on dynamic strain of shallow buried metal pipe under the collapse impact load. By analyzing the strain at different measuring points of the buried pipeline, the strain law of the buried pipeline under the collapse impact load is obtained. Based on the range analysis and variance significance analysis, it was found that the pipe-soil stiffness ratio has a more significant impact on the dynamic strain of the buried pipeline under impact compared to the collapse height and the weight. Then, the numerical simulation method was used to further analyze the effect of pipe-soil stiffness ratio on the dynamic response of buried pipelines; the following conclusions are drawn: As the stiffness ratio of pipe-soil increases, the plastic stress and strain of the buried pipeline will decrease, and influence of the pipeline by the collapse impact is slighter.
