Abstract:This project covers the development of tensile strain design models which form a key part of the strain-based design of pipelines. The strain-based design includes at least two limit states, tensile rupture, and compressive buckling. The tensile strain limit state is considered as an ultimate limit state in pipeline design. The breach of the limit state can lead to loss of life and property, damage to the environment, and disruption of pipeline operations. The development of tensile strain design models has a direct impact on the safety and integrity of pipeline systems. The tensile strain design models are also an enabling technology for pipelines in the northern climate and deep-water offshore area.
