Abstract: Since the early seventies, pipelines have become one of the main means of transporting oil and gas offshore in many parts of the world. In-service hydrocarbons must be transported at high temperature and pressure to ease ...

Abstract: Under high thermal stress, buckling of submarine pipelines may occur to release the stresses accumulated in the walls of the pipelines. The likelihood that buckling occurs is largely determined by the capability of the ...

Abstract: The application of load-transferring mechanism is significant in the design of rigid pile–net composite foundations. A three-dimensional (3D) analytical model is adopted in this paper to analyze the load-transferring ...
