3D analysis of transverse pipe-soil interaction using 2D soil slices

Offshore pipelines are often laid directly on the seabed, particularly in deep water. Cyclic changes in the temperature and pressure of the pipe contents can lead to cyclic growth and contraction of (planned) lateral buckles. This results in severe plastic deformation of the near-surface soil as it...
