Cyclic load response of unburied pipelines on silica sands

Abstract

Unburied pipelines are increasing common as a means of transporting offshore petroleum products. Ensuring the pipeline is stable during its lifetime requires careful modelling of likely movements over time, including the small cyclical loads applied by nature. The relevance of the parameters of one such model, originally based on data from carbonate sands, are evaluated by a series of centrifuge tests using silica sands. The model is shown to be applicable in principle provided certain key parameters are suitably amended. This is particularly the case for the parameters affecting low-load cyclic behaviour. However, the vertical penetration behaviour proved to be more non-linear with the silica sands than the carbonate sands, and further refinement of this aspect of the model is necessary.
