Pipeline leakage is a major cause of urban road collapse accidents. Understanding the evolution process and catastrophic mechanisms of road subsidence is crucial for preventing such safety incidents. Focusing on sewage pipelines in Beijing municipal roads, this study employs DEM-CFD(discrete element method-computational fluid dynamics) coupled flow-solid approach. Microscopic model parameters were calibrated based on laboratory experiments to simulate deformation and cavity evolution in sandy soil layers under various pipeline leakage locations and burial depths. Key parameters, including particle displacement, soil compactness, and medium flow, were analyzed during cavity formation. The results indicate that leakage at the top and middle of the pipeline leads to the formation of a funnel-shaped cavity as water and soil are lost. Without traffic load, the road surface exhibits negligible settlement. By analyzing particle displacement and compactness variations, the soil deformation was divided into stable, loose, and cavity zones, and an elliptical partition model was established for the loose zone. Based on the particle loss rate, the progressive failure process of the soil was classified into three stages: particle migration, rapid loss, and gradual convergence. In terms of cavity formation time, subsidence extent, particle loss rate, and total particle loss, leakage at the pipeline’s middle section yielded the highest values, followed by the top section, with the lowest at the bottom section. However, bottom leakage resulted in the largest loose zone. These findings provide theoretical support for detecting and identifying underground risks associated with urban road collapse disasters.
