Abstract Mechanical damage in subsea pipelines in the form of local dents / buckles due to excessive bending deformation may severely threaten their structural integrity. A dent / buckle has two significant effects on the pipeline integrity. Notably, residual stresses are set up as result of the plastic deformation and stress concentrations are created due to change in pipe geometry caused by the denting / buckling process. To assess the criticality of a dent / buckle, which often can be associated with strain induced flaws in the highly deformed metal, integrity assessment is required. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the severity of dent / buckle in a 48” subsea pipeline and to make the rerate, repair or replacement decision. This paper presents a Level 3 integrity assessment of a subsea pipeline dent / buckle with metal loss, reported in in-line inspection (ILI), in accordance with Fitness-For-Service Standard API 579-1/ASME FFS-1. In this paper, the deformation process that caused the damage (i.e. dent / buckle) with metal loss is numerically simulated using ILI data in order to determine the magnitude of permanent plastic strain developed and to evaluate the protection against potential failure modes. For numerical simulation, elastic-plastic finite element analyses (FEA) are performed considering the material as well as geometric non-linearity using general purpose finite element software ABAQUS/CAE 2017. Based on the numerical simulation results, the integrity assessment of dented / buckled subsea pipeline segment with metal loss has been performed to assess the fitness-for-service at the operating loads.

Permafrost Regions

The geological environment along a buried pipeline in permafrost regions is complex, where differential frost heave often occurs. To understand the changes in the stress behavior of pipeline structures caused by corrosion while laying them in permafrost regions, we established a thermo-mechanical coupling model of buried pipeline with corrosion defects by using finite element software. Numerical simulation analysis of buried pipeline was conducted. The effects of the frost heave length, the length of the transition section, the corrosion depth, and the corrosion length on the stress displacement were obtained. These analyses showed that the stresses and displacements of the pipeline with corrosion defects in permafrost regions can be simulated by using the finite element software numerical simulation method. Afterward, the corrosion resistances of pipelines with different corrosion lengths and depths were investigated via an electrochemical testing method. These results can provide some useful insights into the possible mechanical state of buried pipeline with regard to their design and construction, as well as some useful theoretical references for simulating real-time monitoring and safety analysis for their operation in permafrost regions.

Strengthening Method

For the purpose of the study of the mechanical mechanism of beam-reduction and rib-addition strengthening method as well as the difference between hinged beam method and rigidly connected beam method, finite element models are established for hollow slab bridge before and after strengthening respectively with the finite element software Ansys. The stress distributions on hollow slab bridge before and after strengthening are compared through numerical simulation analysis. The improvement effects of beam-reduction and rib-addition method on the transverse connection and stress state of hollow slab bridge are analyzed at the same time. It is proved that this strengthening method is of obvious effect and the bearing capacity of the existing bridge can be greatly enhanced. Meanwhile, the result of numerical simulation analysis shows that the beam-reduction and rib-addition hinged beam method and rigidly connected beam method have the similar effects. Both of them result in much improvement of transverse distribution and enhancement of transverse connection. But the rigidly connected beam method has a better overall rigidity and a tighter transverse connection. Its improvement effect on the stress state of the old beam slab is superior to that of the hinged beam method.
