Submarine slides pose a serious threat to the safety of transmission pipelines in offshore
petroleum engineering. This threat is mainly manifested in the fact that pipelines are …

Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but
the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by …

Buried water pipelines are vulnerable to fail or break due to excessive loading or ground
displacements. Accurate evaluation of pipe performance and serviceability relies on the …

In the present paper a semi-analytical methodology for a nonlinear stress–strain analysis of
buried steel pipelines at active fault crossings is presented and verified. The developed …

The disaster testing system of buried pipes developed in this work is innovatively used to
examine intact pipes, internally corroded pipes without erosion voids, and internally …

In this paper, the effective intelligent system based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) and
the finite element limit analysis (FELA) is developed to predict the undrained uplift capacity …

It is a difficult task for practical engineers to calculate the uplift and penetration resistance of
two overlap** pipelines that are buried in clay that increases in strength linearly. Hence, in …

The sphericity of a grain should measure the similitude of its shape with that of a sphere.
Sphericity is a shape descriptor of long-standing interest for sedimentology. Now it has …

This paper presents an analytical model for stress–strain analysis of buried steel pipelines
subjected to active fault displacements, accounting for internal pressure and temperature …

Estimating the impact forces exerted by a submarine debris flow on a pipeline is a
challenge, and there is room for considerably more work to advance the state of the art. To …
