Preface to the Second Edition

Volume 1 of this book series, first published in 2007, deals with plastic
buckling and collapse problems of tubular structures. Most of the problems
considered such as tubes under external pressure, under bending, combined
bending and external pressure, and axial compression are classical plastic
buckling problems applicable to various engineering disciplines. In the
book, by the choice of geometries, material properties, and loading histories
the problems are specialized to offshore pipelines. Volume 2, dealing with
the unique problem of buckle propagation and its arrest in offshore pipelines,
was published in 2020. The two books share the same notation, are com-
plementary, and should be treated as companion volumes. During the
14-year period since the publication of Vol. 1, new problems and technical
challenges have appeared in the offshore pipeline scene. Their investigations
encouraged us to update Vol. 1 in a second edition by including several new
chapters and updating and expanding several of the existing ones.
New chapters treat problems such as pipelines installed by reeling that
undergo several cycles of plastic bending and straightening during the pro-
cess. Chapter 11 examines the effect of this cyclic bending on the pipe’s
mechanical performance under the operational loads encountered subse-
quently in deepwater. The use of carbon steel pipe lined with a thin layer
of a corrosion resistant alloy has become the choice product in the transpor-
tation of corrosive hydrocarbons for both onshore and offshore pipelines.
Chapter 12 addresses the response and limit states of lined pipe under bend-
ing and reeling. Chapter 13 examines how internal pressure changes the
bending behavior of pipe described in Chapter 8. These two chapters
together with Chapter 10 on combined bending and external pressure
represent a more complete expose of these important combined loadings.
Chapter 16 addresses how strain ratcheting induced by axial cyclic loading
of partially plasticized compressed tubes can lead to wrinkling and collapse.
Expanded chapters include Chapter 5 that initially dealt with the some-
what degrading effect of the UOE manufacturing process on the collapse
pressure of pipe cold-formed from plate. The chapter has been expanded
to include recent full-scale experiments and analyses on the significant
increase in the collapse pressure that results by finishing such pipe by
compression—UOC and JCOC pipe. Chapter 6 initially examined the effect
of dents on the collapse of pipe under external pressure. It is now expanded to

xii Preface to the Second Edition

include the degrading effect of partial wall thinning due to corrosion and
wear on the collapse pressure. Some additions have also been made to the
chapter on plasticity to address the needs of some of the new topics.
For the new additions, I would like to thank in particular Rong Jiao, Ali
Limam, Yafei Liu, and Lin Yuan. Special thanks once more go to my coau-
thor Edmundo Corona for his continued support of the project and for his
friendship. I am grateful to a consortium of industrial sponsors and the Uni-
versity of Texas at Austin for their financial support of the work, and the
John Webb Jennings Chair in Engineering for supporting the writing of
the second edition.

Preface

Although offshore oil and gas production was conducted throughout the
entire 20th century, the industry’s modern importance and vibrancy did
not start until the early 1970s, when the North Sea became a major pro-
ducer. Since then, the expansion of the offshore oil industry in many
parts of the world has been both continuous and rapid. This growth has been
coupled with a gradual movement to increasingly deeper waters, where
today production has reached approximately 7000 ft (2130 m) while
exploration is proceeding as deep as 10,000 ft (3050 m).
Pipelines, and more generally long tubular structures, are major oil and
gas industry tools used in exploration, drilling, production, and transmission.
Installing and operating tubular structures in deep waters places unique
demands on them. The high pressures and elevated temperatures of the
oil wells, the high ambient external pressures, the large forces involved dur-
ing installation, and generally the hostility of the environment can result in a
large number of limit states that must be addressed.
The technical challenges of the field have spawned significant research
and development efforts in a broad range of areas. For example, they include
improvements in line grade steels and innovations in the manufacture of
tubular products; development of several pipeline installation methods
and lay-vessels; establishment of the mechanical behavior and the modes
of failure of long tubes and pipes under various loads; and investigation of
new problems in fluid-structure and soil-structure interactions, issues of cor-
rosion, welding, fatigue, and many others. The field is so broad that covering
the progress achieved would require several books and monographs. The
goal of this book series is to present developments in the area of mechanical
behavior of pipelines and long tubular structures in general used in this
industry. The approach is problem oriented, encompassing the main limit
states encountered in practice. The background of each problem and scenar-
ios where it may be encountered are first outlined. Each problem is
then analyzed experimentally and analytically, first in simple terms and
then in more advanced ways. Each discussion finishes with design
recommendations.
Many of the problems discussed have been brought about by the
demands of this new frontier, while others are classical problems of inelastic
structural mechanics recast to the needs of the new applications. A prime

xiii
xiv Preface

example of the “new problem” category is the problem of buckle propaga-


tion under external pressure, together with its many related issues. Propagat-
ing collapse and its catastrophic effects were first brought to light around
1975 by researchers in the offshore pipeline industry. Since then, the under-
lying mechanism has been shown to be shared by several other structures and
a variety of material systems. This wider applicability of the underlying
mechanism has in turn attracted the attention of researchers from several
different fields. By contrast, the problem of plastic buckling and collapse
of a long cylinder under compression has had a 50-year life span, and can
be categorized as a classical problem. However, the design needs of modern
offshore as well as onshore pipelines have generated new investigations that
have produced new relevant insights into the problem.
I came to this field in 1976 through my work with Chuck Babcock at
Caltech on the propagating buckle and its arrest. Although we were able
at the time to establish from experiments the mechanics underlying the
problem, neither the numerical tools nor the computational facilities
available then were adequate for the needs of the problem. During
the next 20 years, improvements in both of these enabled researchers
to investigate many aspects of this problem in great detail. Thirty years
of exposure to the offshore industry has enabled me to get involved in
many other interesting engineering problems, often at their genesis. Sig-
nificant parts of the contents of the book come from either investigations
carried out by my research group at the University of Texas at Austin or
less formal arrangements with the industry. I am indebted to the industry
for their support through Joint Industry Projects as well as through indi-
vidual contracts. The support by the US Office of Naval Research of
part of the work is also acknowledged with thanks. The writing of this
book was supported in part by the College of Engineering at the
University of Texas at Austin.
The book is aimed at the practicing professional, but can also serve as a
graduate level text for inelastic design of tubular structures. Each chapter
deals with a specific mechanical problem that is analyzed independent, for
the most part, of others. Entry-level graduate school background in non-
linear structural and solid mechanics, and working knowledge of issues in
structural stability and numerical methods should make going through the
analytical developments easier. A class in plasticity would enhance the brief
chapter on metal plasticity at the end of Volume I. The mathematics used is
at a level that should enable graduates from 5-year engineering programs to
follow the formulations presented in detail.
Preface xv

The style of the work is one I have always found both necessary and most
rewarding: investigate the problem through a combination of experiments
and analysis. Solution of relatively new challenging problems requires
understanding that can only come from careful experiments. Having gained
an understanding of the underlying physics, one proceeds to analysis.
Because of the nonlinear nature of most of the problems addressed, analysis
is often supplemented by numerical modeling. The results of these com-
bined efforts can subsequently be distilled into more concise procedures
and guidelines for the design engineer. Wherever possible, numerical pro-
cedures are outlined in terms of custom formulations to help the reader gain
a deeper understanding into the problem. The insight gained from the
experiments presented, coupled with results from complementary numerical
efforts, should enable the interested reader to either reproduce the solution
procedures and results or solve similar problems using a nonlinear finite
element code. The experimental results included in each chapter should
be sufficient to evaluate or calibrate new numerical models. The experimen-
tal set-ups and procedures used are described in sufficient detail to enable the
execution of new experiments should the need arise.
Volume I addresses problems of buckling and collapse of long inelastic
cylinders under various loads encountered in the offshore arena. Several
of the solutions are also directly applicable to land pipelines. The fundamen-
tal nature of most of the problems makes them also applicable to other fields.
Examples include tubular components in nuclear reactors and power plants,
aerospace structures, automotive and civil engineering structures, naval
vehicles and structures, and others. Volume I is coauthored with Edmundo
Corona, with whom I have cooperated for more than 20 years. He was
instrumental in the original work on bending and combined bending and
external pressure, as well as in the writing and upgrading of various versions
of the computer program BEPTICO. I am indebted to Edmundo for his
long-term interactions, friendship, and wise counsel.
Volume II deals with various aspects of the problem of buckle propaga-
tion and arrest in offshore pipelines and related problems.
Many of the results presented have originated from studies performed
over the years in cooperation with several outstanding graduate students.
Their contributions are reflected in the references at the end of each
chapter. I would like to thank in particular Theodoro Netto, Heedo
Yun, Gwo-Tarng Ju, and Ken Liechti for their input in some of the chapters.
Thanks are also due to Liang-Hai Lee, who reproduced several numerical
results using modern finite element codes. Additional help received as well

as photographs and drawings provided by individuals are acknowledged in


the text. Special thanks go to Rob Cook for his help in generating several of
the figures and Jason Kyriakides for proofreading the book. Much of the
artwork and CAD figures were patiently produced by Jason Kyriakides.
His work truly enriches the text and for this I am very grateful. Despite
the generous input we have received from all mentioned and our best
personal efforts, typos and some, hopefully minor, errors surely remain.
The authors would be grateful if readers let us know of any typos and errors
they come across.
Over the years, I have had the pleasure and privilege of interacting with
many university colleagues and many researchers and engineers from indus-
try. Although too many to list by name here, I would like to acknowledge
interactions with university colleagues Professors Charles Babcock
(deceased), John Hutchinson, Nicolas Triantafyllidis, Theodoro Netto,
Andrew Palmer, and Chris Calladine. I am grateful to Carl Langner and Ser-
ghios Barbas for keeping my compass directed in the practical direction
through numerous exchanges over many years. Other industrial colleagues
with whom I have interacted include Ralf Peek, Pedro Vargas, David
McKeehan, Frans Klever, Roberto Bruschi, Raghu Madhavan, Duane
DeGeer, Gwo-Tarng Ju, Heedo Yun, and Richard Verley. I also thank
my colleagues in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineer-
ing Mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin for providing a fertile
atmosphere for learning and intellectual growth for my graduate students
and myself. To all those not mentioned I ask their understanding and
forgiveness. I assure them that I am no less thankful for their contributions
to this body of work.

Pipelines constitute a major means of gathering and transporting a variety of


commodities, ranging from oil, natural gas and chemicals to water, sewage,
etc. Their use has expanded with time because they are more energy effi-
cient than competing means of transportation. Although they require signif-
icant initial investment, they have a lifespan of up to 40 years and require
relatively minor maintenance. Oil and natural gas pipelines are usually the
longest, often crossing country and sometimes continental borders. Such
major projects require investments of billions of dollars, and in addition
can be contentious. Local resistance is often tied to environmental and safety
issues. International and geopolitical complications arise from tensions either
between countries along the route or between them and the country of ori-
gin or destination. Furthermore, in today’s climate of tight energy supply,
pipelines are often entangled in geopolitical affairs. Consequently, such
pipeline projects require long and careful planning and negotiations with
many interest groups. One example is the Trans-Alaska pipeline, a 48-inch,
800-mile crude oil land pipeline that connects Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s
North Slopes to the Valdez terminal in southern Alaska (see Table 1.1).
The line crosses arctic regions that are environmentally sensitive as well as
earthquake prone. As a result, the project took a decade of planning, engi-
neering work, and political negotiations. It was completed in 1977 at a cost
of $10 BIL. A second example that has been discussed since the 1980s is the
Medgaz pipeline which brings Algerian natural gas to Spain, completed in
2008 (Table 1.1). Primarily because of political reasons the route chosen
has the pipeline crossing the Mediterranean Sea in water depths exceeding
7000 ft (2130 m). Another very politicized major project is the pipeline
