Pipeline Buckling Design Course Overview
September 8-9, 2008 • Houston, Texas
Technical innovations in buckling design of subsea pipeline systems have been
characterized by new design concepts and advanced engineering analysis techniques.
The advanced engineering analysis is mainly based on finite element analysis,
computer and information technologies and applications of risk and reliability methods.
The purpose of this course is to review the new design concepts and design analysis
methods, as well as to explain the mechanics theory that is the essential underpinning for
these technical advances. Read the course program.
Learning Objectives
This course will provide an in-depth review of engineering principles and practical
operational considerations in
pipeline buckling design, including theory, analysis and design for subsea pipeline
systems, for application in FEED studies, EPIC contracts and subsea tie-backs.
Benefits of Attending
Participants will receive a comprehensive set of Course Notes, and the book Subsea Pipelines and Risers (by Prof. Yong Bai and Dr. Qiang Bai, Elsevier, 2005). The delegates will learn industry practice in integrity
management for subsea pipeline systems.
