| Description |
In Arctic regions,
ice scour imposes a potential danger to seabed facilities such as pipelines. The purpose
is to define the subscour forces and displacements, and thus, create a soundly based
design methodology. This work is an outgrowth of the Pressure Ridge Ice Scour Experiment
(PRISE). This effort is an adjunct study to Project No. 191. |
| Progress |
This work included
the development of a soil/pipe interaction engineering model. The model was verified and
calibrated through finite element analysis and interpretation of a series of physical
model tests conducted in a centrifuge. This soil/pipe interaction engineering model is one
of the first working tools for the analysis and design of seabed pipelines in ice-scoured
environments. A final report has been issued. |
