Guidelines for Free Spanning Pipelines: Outstanding Items and Technological Innovations
Abstract The aim of the GUDESP project has been to establish internationally recognised Guidelines for the design of free spanning sealines. This was obtained through the development of a unified approach for the determination of the occurrence and the effects of the hydroelastic vibrations and associated load conditions on the structural integrity of suspended spans of offshore pipelines. A key element in this work has been the use of the existing vast experimental data base for the proper scaling of flow induced vibrations. In addition the existing acceptance criteria for free spans have been reviewed by means of a reliability based analysis procedure and partial safety factors are being determined rationalising the design safety levels. Many technical aspects developed in the GUDESP project are innovative and three main areas are described, namely the structural modelling, the calculation of the response to hydroelastic loads and the calibration of design partial safety factors based on a reliability approach.
