Model tests of lateral loading for surface pipelines on sand

Offshore pipelines are often placed on the seabed surface. For these pipelines the stress induced by thermal expansion, caused by the hot products being transported, can lead to cases of lateral buckling. An accurate assessment of the pipeline's susceptibility to buckling, and therefore an asse...
