OSTI ID:5691079

This report has been developed as a reference handbook for use in on-bottom pipeline stability analysis and design. It consists of two volumes. Volume one is devoted to descriptions of the various aspects of the problem: the pipeline design process; ocean physics, wave mechanics, hydrodynamic forces, and meteorogical data determination; geotechnical data collection and soil mechanics; and stability design procedures. Volume two describes, lists, and illustrates the analysis software. Diskettes containing the software and examples of the software are also included in Volume two. (115 refs., 127 figs., 7 tabs.)
