Predicting scour beneath subsea pipelines from existing small free span depths under steady currents
An equation was developed to predict current-induced scour beneath subsea pipelines in areas with small span depths, S. Current equations for scour prediction are only applicable to partially buried pipelines. The existence of small span depths (i.e. S/D < 0.3) are of concern because the capacity...
