Buckling Mechanism of Offshore Pipelines: A State of the Art

The buckling analysis of an offshore pipeline refers to the temperature-induced uplift and lateral pipelines by analytical, numerical, experimental means. Thus, current study discusses different research performed on thermal pipe-buckling factors affecting pipeline’s behaviour. consists dependency direction seabed features burial condition; pre-buckling post-buckling load-displacement behaviour pipeline; effect soil weight, depth, axial resistance, imperfection amplitude, temperature difference, interface tensile capacity, diameter-to-thickness ratio resistance; failure mechanism pipeline. Moreover, external hydrostatic pressure, bending moment, initial imperfection, sectional rigidity, collapse load during were also included in study. This work highlights existing knowledge topic along with main findings up recent research. In addition, reference literature is given analysed contribute a broad perspective pipelines. provides starting point identify further innovation development guidelines for professionals researchers dealing pipelines, which are key infrastructures numerous maritime applications.
