Critical length a fatigue issue


Critical Length

Critical length depends upon natural frequencies and current velocity: Length Diameter Support conditions Fatigue capacity

Date: 2004-01-16 Page: 8

Vortex induced vibrations (VIV) of free spanning pipelines Induced by current. Simplistic estimation tools Determines maximum length of free spans.
Fatigue

Puts severe constraints on pipeline routing Cost driver: Intervention work in deep water. Ormen Lange:
Pioneer project. Basis for improved future methods

Reliability analysis & RP-F105 IL vibration controls fatigue life. Single (idealized) span length can be increased from 40 60 m to 80 110m (Shortest in slide area, longest in development area)

Shoulder contact force. Soft versus stiff soil

Date: 2004-01-16 Page: 14

Improved routing & intervention work


Shorter spans with short shoulders. I.e. interaction between spans. Max. allowable length of a span depends upon neighbouring spans and shoulder properties (stiffness & geometry) Improved current and soil information
