Weight coating design for submarine pipeline on-bottom stability, 1989 Tasks 1, 2 and 3

OSTI ID:5483776

Three tasks were conducted during the 1989 effort, and are reported herein. These tasks include: (1) comparison of the A.G.A.'s pipeline stability design methodologies detailed in the Design guidelines and software, with those presented in Veritec's Recommended Practice for On-Bottom Stability Design of Submarine Pipelines; (2) comparison of weight coating designs using the two documents mentioned above; and verification that the pipe/soil interaction model implemented into the Level 2 and 3 stability software can predict pipe behavior for pipes subjected to both in-line and lift forces from random seas. This was accomplished by simulating (with the dynamic, Level 3, stability software) the model tests done with irregular seas loadings, and comparing the test results to the simulations. 28 refs., 16 figs.
