analysis of offshore pipeline allowable free span length
نویسندگان
چکیده
determination of allowable free span length plays a crucial role in design of offshore pipelines. the seabed intervention cost and safety of an offshore pipelines project are largely influenced by pipelines free spanning during the project life time. different criteria are proposed by both the current designing guidelines and researchers there is however lack of comprehensive assessment of independent parameters affects the design length of free span. in this note, it is intended to investigate the effects of seabed formation along with axial force on natural frequency of offshore pipelines. based on this assessment a new simple formula is proposed. finally, to evaluate the result of this study, the allowable free span length of qeshem island pipelines is calculated as a case study and compared with those of the dnv (1998) and abs (2001) guidelines and the modal analysis.

Accidental Limit State of Submarine Pipeline: Trawl Gears Pull-Over Loads and Effect of Free Span
Submarine pipelines failures lead to oil spills in water and may even lead to explosions with heavy financial and environmental damages. Trawl gear is one of the main factors in the failure of the submarine pipelines. In this paper, sensitivity analysis is performed on influence of height and span length alternations on the response of pipeline against the traction caused by trawling pull-over ...
متن کاملFuzzy consequence modelling of hydrocarbon offshore pipeline
The traditional event tree analysis uses a single probability to represent each top event. However, it is unrealistic to evaluate the occurrence of each event by using a crisp value without considering the inherent uncertainty and imprecision a state has. The fuzzy set theory is universally applied to deal with this kind of phenomena. The main purpose of this study is to construct an easy metho...
متن کاملSubsea Free Span Pipeline Damage Detection Based on Wavelet Transform under Environmental Load
During their service life, marine pipelines continually accumulate damage as a result of the action of various environmental forces. Clearly, the development of robust techniques for early damage detection is very important to avoid the possible occurrence of a disastrous structural failure. Most of vibration-based damage detection methods require the modal properties that are obtained from mea...
