    Pipe Laying by Lay Vessel: Mode 1 Buckle Mode 2 Buckle Mode 3 Buckle Mode 4 Buckle

    Uploaded by

    Alireza Khodabandeh
    This document discusses different methods for installing underwater pipelines and the types of analysis required for each method. It describes pipe laying by a lay vessel, which involves joining pipes on the vessel before laying them on the seabed in a controlled S-bend shape using tension applied by the vessel. The analysis must ensure the pipe will not be damaged or overstressed during laying and identify stress levels, particularly at the last support on the stinger and at the point where tension is applied.

    The installation methods that determine the type of analysis performed are discussed
    as follows.
    Pipe Laying by Lay Vessel
    This method (including S-lay and J-lay) involves joining pipe joints on the lay vessel,
    where at a number of work stations, welding, inspection, and field joint coating take
    place (see S-lay in Figure 1.10). Pipe laying progresses with the lay vessel moving
    forward on its anchors. The pipe is placed on the seabed in a controlled S-bend shape.
    The curvature in the upper section, or overbended, is controlled by a supporting
    structure, called a stinger, fitted with rollers to minimize damage to the pipe.
    The curvature in the lower portion is controlled by application of tension on the
    vessel using special machines. The pipeline designer must analyze the pipe lay
    configuration to establish that the correct tension capacity and barge geometry are set
    up and that the pipe will not be damaged or overstressed during the lay process.
    The appropriate analysis can be performed by a range of methods from simple
    catenary analysis, to approximate solutions, to precise analysis using finite element
    analysis. The main objective of analysis is to identify stress levels in two main
    areas. The first is on the stinger (overbend), where the pipe can undergo high
    bending, especially at the last support. Since the curvature can now be controlled,
