In-service buckling of heated pipelines

Compressive forces may be induced in pipelines by the restraint of axial extensions due to temperature changes or other causes. These forces can cause vertical or lateral buckling, both of which involve an overall column-type response without gross distortion of the pipe cross section. For normal friction coefficients, the lateral mode occurs at a lower axial load than the vertical mode and is dominant in pipelines unless lateral restraint is provided by trenching. Numerical solutions for a given pipeline subjected to a specific temperature change illustrate the theoretical solutions for predicting the occurrence of buckling.
