Description
Summary:Pipelines are one of the most important and key elements that align with transferring hydrocarbon products in coastal and offshore industries which are exposed at various risks during their servicing. In this project, we are studding and describing free spanning of marine pipeline based on DNVGL-RP-F-105 regulation applying the finite element method by Abaqus software. For modeling, case studies of Gorze to Kish oil pipeline have been used. In order to provide and study the integrity of the structure against fatigue, the exact place as well as the free span length using software under environmental loading based on DNVGL-RP-F205 has been determined. Since based on DNVGL-TS-F101 free span causes local buckling, fatigue, and pipe burst then given to the servicing as well as environmental conditions, pipe condition has been monitored. Finally, using sensitivity analysis, the effect of different soil classes, elasticity module, and temperature on the pipe condition has been studied. At the end, the question if it is allowed to use a cross model for bed has been answered in previous studies.
