摘要: |
The design of arctic pipelines and protection requirements for mechanical integrity are driven by hazards such as ice gouging, strudel scour and upheaval buckling. The pipeline wall thickness, line-pipe grade and ductility, trench depth and backfill requirements are some of the key factors for consideration in pipeline engineering design. This study addresses the requirements of the Minerals Management Service (MMS) Contract M-07-PC-13015 as part of Technology Assessment and Research (TAR) Project 577. The objective of the study, based on the request for proposals from MMS is to assess the design options for pipelines and provide a risk analysis for strudel scour, upheaval buckling and ice gouging in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Minerals Management Service, Herndon, VA. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
